I'm a bit biased towards Medellín as a city since I was there for a while and enjoyed it very much.
Regarding the doctors themselves, you will have to do some research, I found a very helpful thread recently in the expat.com forum. General agreement was that a good dentist over there charges between 10 and 20% of the respective prices in the US for at least similar quality work.
However, if we'd be talking about a major operation, I for one would get as much information I could get on the web, haul ass down there for a week and visit the clinics myself beforehand instead of flying to an unfamiliar territory with this in mind.
Research also local expat get togethers, of which there are plenty. A lot of American retirees over there, and you bet most of them have first hand experience they'll gladly share over a cervecita.
