It sounds like the recovery period is going to be very trying (10+ weeks of that), especially the first 24-48 hours - fortunately she will have excellent support from another friend that lives is the same apartment complex that she does, during that time (is going to stay with her initially).
On a funny side note, I have an acquaintance who suggested she go to a dentist in Mexico that he knows to have the work done and the cost would be about $800 (versus $25,000) - I thought to myself, who does that shiit, gambles with their lives like that in order to find a deal?!?! Wild!

First off, good on you, Rawknee.
Second, I know A LOT of people who go to Mexico for their dental needs, as it's the same doctors here in the states (often) who don't have the same red tape down there. Perfectly clean, certified, everything. And yes, they save many thousands. some insurances even cover it.
