Look into Algodones ( near Yuma, Az), also known as Molar City!
The town consists mostly of dental clinics, there are recent posts about going there for dental work during Covid on the web.
it's pretty safe to travel there too. not sure how good the quality of the work is, but lots of retirees go there.
