The majority travel for implants, veneers, and other cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>    <p>The NHS doesn&#8217;t cover cosmetic dentistry or elective treatments, and even if you have dental insurance, your plan likely won&#8217;t come close to covering the cost of these procedures. Major restorative work will probably exceed your annual limits, too.<\/p>    <p>Aside from the cost, though, visitors are generally impressed with the standards of hygiene and care they experience. There is heavy competition, particularly in the towns known for dental tourism, and this pushes dentists to constantly invest in the best equipment and training. The majority of dentists in Mexico speak very good English and take pride in the work they do.<\/p>    <p>You can also benefit from shorter wait times, especially if you need to see a specialist like an endodontist (for a root canal) or periodontist (for gum problems). Many clinics have dentists from all specialities working in one place, so you don&#8217;t need to wait weeks and travel miles from your hotel for an appointment.<\/p>   \t<div class=\"form_wrapper\">

You should also make sure the dental clinicians follow basic hygiene best practices, for example by wearing face masks and sterile gloves. There is more information about what to check and research towards the end of this article.<\/p>    <p>You might also be concerned about your general safety when visiting Mexico. You&#8217;re right to exercise caution since many of the towns and cities we mention below have a not-too-distant history of drug crime and street violence. However, they have made a big effort in recent years to clean up their acts and become safer for visitors &#8211; usually with the aim of attracting more medical tourists.<\/p>    <p>To put your mind at rest, check plenty of reviews&nbsp;&#8211; especially about the town or city you&#8217;re planning to visit. You might also consider booking through a dental tourism agency that has its own approval process for dentists and offers insurance, accommodation and travel as part of a package.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-1550\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"check dental problems\" class=\"wp-image-1550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/02\/depistage-dentiste-cancer-bouche1.jpg 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dental training in Mexico takes 5 years<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Undergraduate dental programs in Mexico last for four years, with a fifth year of &#8216;social service&#8217;. This final year gives the student dentist practical clinical experience before they begin work independently.<\/p>    <p>Dental school is subsidised in Mexico. This gives dental students more time to focus on their training rather than having to work hard to pay their fees. It also means they have little or no student debt to pay off when they graduate, and this is reflected in their prices.<\/p>    <p>One downside of dental education is that dentists aren&#8217;t required to take any continuing education. In the UK, dentists must demonstrate continuing education and up-to-date knowledge in order to continue their practice. In Mexico, however, a dentist may continue to practice without ever refreshing their training.<\/p>    <p>You might be impressed with your dentist&#8217;s 15 years experience, but have they taken courses to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and practices? The <strong>best dentists in Mexico<\/strong> choose to invest in their education even though it is not a legal requirement. Ask your dentist for evidence of continuing education.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regulation<\/h3>    <p>There is no obligation for dentists practising in Mexico to register with a governing body. This lack of regulation means that there is a wide variety of standards in clinics across the country.<\/p>    <p>However, those dentists involved with the dental tourism industry recognise the need to prove their expertise. Therefore, many register with the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adm.org.mx\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mexican Dental Association<\/a> (ADM) which assesses and monitors dental skills. They must complete 40 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain this certification, so it&#8217;s certainly worth looking for in your search for a good dentist.<\/p>    <p>Some dentists may have an American Dental Association (ADA) membership. Be aware that this doesn&#8217;t mean they are endorsed by the ADA; only that they have a valid licence and pay the membership fee.<\/p>   <a style=\"display: inline-block;\"                                 class=\"header_main-quote popup-open header_main-quote-btn\">Get a free quote for dental treatment abroad<\/a>    <h2 id=\"what-treatments-do-people-get-in-mexico\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What treatments do people get in Mexico?<\/h2>    <p>Here is an overview of some of the most common dental tourism treatments in Mexico. Following this section, you&#8217;ll find approximate prices for this dental work so you can see how much you might save by travelling abroad.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/parts-of-a-tooth-implant-image.svg\" alt=\"dental implants Mexico\" class=\"wp-image-18775\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 3 parts are usually fitted separately<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>The price of <strong>dental implants in Mexico<\/strong> compared to the UK means you can save hundreds of pounds on a single implant and tens of thousands on full mouth implants.<\/p>    <p>Teeth implants in Mexico often use systems that are available in the UK, but you should check this before having any work done. If your implant system is one that your home dentist is unfamiliar with, it can be harder to maintain.<\/p>    <p>The dental implant process usually requires three visits. On your first trip, you&#8217;ll have the implant itself screwed in your jaw bone. A few months later, after it has settled, you can return for the abutment and, if applicable, a temporary crown. Finally, you get your permanent crown and the process is complete.<\/p>    <p>When comparing dental implant costs in Mexico to the price quoted in the UK, remember to factor in transport and accommodation for all of these visits.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All-on-4<\/h3>    <p>If you don&#8217;t want to wait months for your new teeth, consider All-on-4 dental implants instead. This system has several benefits over traditional implants:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>It uses 4-6 implants per jaw so costs less<\/li>    <li>Temporary dentures are fitted at the first visit<\/li>    <li>Treatment is complete in two visits<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Just like regular implants, <strong>All-on-4 teeth implants in Mexico cost<\/strong> considerably less than in the UK.<\/p>    <p>All-on-4 is not for everyone, though. Consider both the short- and long-term implications of your treatment when deciding what&#8217;s best for you.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dentures<\/h3>    <p>If you have lost one or more teeth, dentures are a more affordable option than implants. You can get porcelain and acrylic dentures in Mexico, just like in the UK. You&#8217;ll probably find they are made much more quickly so you can have a complete smile even sooner.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veneers<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-1012\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"porcelain veneers\" class=\"wp-image-1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-150x118.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-65x51.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-220x173.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-127x100.jpg 127w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-358x281.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-510x400.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-573x450.jpg 573w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer-650x510.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/11\/Dental_veneer.jpg 655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Veneers offer aesthetic improvements<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>The cost of <strong>veneers in Mexico<\/strong> depends on the type of veneer you choose.<\/p>    <p>Composite veneers are built up around your existing teeth using a soft material which is then hardened. These can be done in a single visit and they are the cheapest option. The downside is that they only last around five years before the material starts to erode.<\/p>    <p>Porcelain veneers are much longer-lasting but also more expensive. They also usually require more of your natural tooth to be removed for fitting. The exception is Lumineers, which are an ultra-thin type of porcelain.<\/p>    <p>When people get dental veneers in Mexico it&#8217;s most often porcelain veneers, since these have a better aesthetic appearance and are more durable.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other treatment<\/h3>    <p>You can get other cosmetic dentistry in Mexico, including professional teeth whitening. This might be something you want to bundle in with other treatments while you&#8217;re there. Do keep in mind that whitening won&#8217;t affect the colour of any artificial teeth (i.e. implants, veneers, crowns and bridges).<\/p>    <p>Root canal work is also much more affordable in Mexico, as are any dental crowns you might need to cap damaged teeth. Crowns usually take 1-2 days to produce &#8211; much quicker than you&#8217;ll usually find in the UK. Be wary of dentists offering same-day dental crowns in Mexico (unless they are CEREC crowns) because they may be cutting corners.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"mexico-dentist-prices\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mexico dentist prices<\/h2>    <p>By now you have probably visited your local dentist to get a quote for the work you need. If not, it&#8217;s a good idea to do this so you can accurately compare your local dentist&#8217;s rates to the price of dental work in Mexico. This will help you decide whether it&#8217;s worth going overseas, considering the cost and time needed to travel.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-4834\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"low cost dental abroad\" class=\"wp-image-4834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-65x43.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-358x239.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-675x450.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015-765x510.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Depositphotos_79109096_m-2015.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Has your dental quote come as a shock?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Either way, chances are you&#8217;re reading this article because you can&#8217;t afford to get the work you need back home.

But this table should give you an idea of how much you might be able to save with Mexico dental tourism.<\/p>    <p>Note that your dentist in Mexico may recommend a slightly different treatment plan to your UK dentist. This can be for a number of reasons, but sadly it&#8217;s sometimes the case that certain dentists recommend more expensive treatment to bolster their profits. If you&#8217;re unsure, get another opinion.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it cheaper?<\/h3>    <p>You needn&#8217;t worry that the lower <strong>dental prices in Mexico<\/strong> equate to lower standards. Reputable clinics work to the same standards as dentists in the UK and use the same materials.<\/p>    <p>The main factor that makes prices so much lower is the cost of living. When rent, staff wages, and business overheads are all reduced, the dentist doesn&#8217;t need to charge as much.&nbsp;For instance, the average salary for dentists in Mexico is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dentistrybusiness.com\/dentist-salary-big-mac-index\/\" target=\"_blank\">just over a fifth<\/a> of what US dentists are paid.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to pay for dental work in Mexico<\/h3>    <p>There is a common misconception that you need to pay cash for dental services in Mexico. This is not the case, most dental practices will accept credit cards, or cash depending on how you would like to pay. But, it is not recommended to carry large amounts of cash around with you, so only carry enough for small expenses like food or transport. <\/p>    <p>Make sure you check ahead of time what fees you may have to pay when using your credit card abroad. This will help with any surprises that you might find on your final bill. <\/p>   <a style=\"display: inline-block;\"                                 class=\"header_main-quote popup-open header_main-quote-btn\">Get a free quote for dental treatment abroad<\/a>    <h2 id=\"where-to-get-dental-implants-in-mexico\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to get dental implants in Mexico<\/h2>    <p>Mexico is one of the few countries that American patients can drive &#8211; or even walk &#8211; to for cheap dental work. Because of this, many &#8220;dental towns&#8221; have sprung up along the border catering almost exclusively to patients crossing from the US. If coming from the UK, you might consider staying in the US and just crossing into Mexico to visit the dentist.<\/p>    <p>Alternatively, you can fly directly to one of Mexico&#8217;s major cities and visit a dentist there.<\/p>    <p>Also, consider what you want from your trip. Some patients go purely for dentistry while others prefer to add a few extra days to their trip and turn it into a vacation. If you&#8217;re planning a <strong>dental holiday in Mexico<\/strong>, you probably want to choose a location that&#8217;s a tourist destination in its own right.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If crossing the border<\/h3>    <p><strong>Los Algodones (bordering Arizona)<\/strong><\/p>    <p>Known as &#8216;Molar City&#8217; because of the high concentration of dental clinics, Los Algodones is just the other side of the border from Yuma, Arizona.

This is not a guarantee of the level of care, but it does confirm they meet certain standards.<\/p>    <p>Ask about seeing a dentist who specialises in the work you need. For example, if you&#8217;re getting dental implants in Mexico you should see a dentist with specialist training in implantology.<\/p>    <p>Ask to speak directly to the dentist if possible so you can ask any questions and also check their level of English. Clear communication is one of the most important factors for putting patients at ease.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous work<\/h3>    <p>Check online reviews on independent websites and ask to see before and after photos of past patients. You may even be able to speak to a former patient to ask them about their experience.<\/p>    <p>If your chosen clinic is one of the more popular ones you&#8217;ll probably find some video reviews on YouTube, too. It can be reassuring to hear from a real patient and see exactly what their treatment involved.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aftercare<\/h3>    <p>Find out what aftercare (if any) is included with your treatment cost &#8211; and where this will take place. How long will you have to stay during your initial trip, and are any further visits required?<\/p>    <p>Also ask <strong>what would happen in the case of complications<\/strong> &#8211; either while you were still in Mexico or once you returned home. The clinic may offer you free treatment to fix the problem, but would probably require you to travel there at your own expense. Check how long your treatment is guaranteed for and what insurance the clinic has.<\/p>    <p>It&#8217;s a good idea to consult your local dentist before getting treatment abroad so they are aware of your plans. Also make sure you get a copy of your medical notes in English so you can receive any necessary follow-on care.<\/p>    <p>The following news report shows interviews with some patients and dentists in Nogales. It also offers some good advice about what to check before you go ahead with any work:<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\" >  <div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-xoc0hs_pmrs\" class=\"arve\"> \t<div class=\"arve-inner\"> \t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> \t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div> \t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &#039;none&#039;;autoplay &#039;none&#039;;camera &#039;none&#039;;ch-ua &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-read &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-write;display-capture &#039;none&#039;;encrypted-media &#039;none&#039;;gamepad &#039;none&#039;;geolocation &#039;none&#039;;gyroscope &#039;none&#039;;hid &#039;none&#039;;identity-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;idle-detection &#039;none&#039;;keyboard-map &#039;none&#039;;local-fonts &#039;none&#039;;magnetometer &#039;none&#039;;microphone &#039;none&#039;;midi &#039;none&#039;;payment &#039;none&#039;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &#039;none&#039;;publickey-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;screen-wake-lock &#039;none&#039;;serial &#039;none&#039;;sync-xhr;usb &#039;none&#039;;window-management &#039;none&#039;;xr-spatial-tracking &#039;none&#039;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-xoc0hs_pmrs\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/XOc0HS_pMRs?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/XOc0HS_pMRs?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe> \t\t\t \t\t<\/div> \t\t \t<\/div> \t \t \t <\/div> <\/div><\/figure>    <h2 id=\"dental-implants-in-mexico-reviews-from-mexican-dental-patients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental implants in Mexico: Reviews from Mexican Dental Patients<\/h2>    <p>Reviews from past patients are a great way for you to understand what the experience is really like as you research options for dental tourism in Mexico.<\/p>    <p>But it can be hard to filter through all the information available online.<\/p>    <p>You can find one rave review of a particular Mexico dentist followed by another telling you to stay away.

As she grew older she experienced more problems and needed inlays and crowns, but couldn&#8217;t afford to get the treatment in Canada. Instead, she travelled to Playa del Carmen, just down the coast from Cancun, for dental work.<\/p>    <p>She struggled with being in the dentist&#8217;s chair for four days in a row (as well as visiting another clinic for some medical work) and says it took her about a month to recover physically from the trip. In addition to this, she developed pulpitis in some of her teeth because the fillings were so deep. Fortunately, this didn&#8217;t become too serious.<\/p>    <p>Some of her fillings were also too high and the dentist didn&#8217;t fully resolve this problem. She still needs to get them filed down some more with a dentist back home.<\/p>    <p>&#8220;In spite of all the difficulty I had and the financial burden [which was still less even with the trip and the cosmetic work]&#8230; was it worth it? I would say it was,&#8221; says Sonia. Her advice is just to avoid getting too much work done in one trip.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\" >  <div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-koxsmv3m7yg\" class=\"arve\"> \t<div class=\"arve-inner\"> \t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> \t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div> \t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &#039;none&#039;;autoplay &#039;none&#039;;camera &#039;none&#039;;ch-ua &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-read &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-write;display-capture &#039;none&#039;;encrypted-media &#039;none&#039;;gamepad &#039;none&#039;;geolocation &#039;none&#039;;gyroscope &#039;none&#039;;hid &#039;none&#039;;identity-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;idle-detection &#039;none&#039;;keyboard-map &#039;none&#039;;local-fonts &#039;none&#039;;magnetometer &#039;none&#039;;microphone &#039;none&#039;;midi &#039;none&#039;;payment &#039;none&#039;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &#039;none&#039;;publickey-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;screen-wake-lock &#039;none&#039;;serial &#039;none&#039;;sync-xhr;usb &#039;none&#039;;window-management &#039;none&#039;;xr-spatial-tracking &#039;none&#039;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-koxsmv3m7yg\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/kOXsmV3m7yg?start=195&amp;feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/kOXsmV3m7yg?start=195&#038;feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe> \t\t\t \t\t<\/div> \t\t \t<\/div> \t \t \t <\/div> <\/div><\/figure>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of Mexico dentist reviews<\/h3>    <p>So, what&#8217;s the general sentiment about getting dental implants and other <strong>dental work in Mexico<\/strong>? Well, everyone agrees that it&#8217;s a great way to save on dental care! But across the board, the advice is to do your own research to check the credentials of your chosen dentist and clinic.<\/p>    <p>You should also speak to your home dentist and have an idea of the treatment you need. This lets you prepare for the procedure as well as avoid being up-sold on work you hadn&#8217;t budgeted for.<\/p>    <p>Finally, although it&#8217;s possible to get a huge amount of work done in just a few days, be aware this can take a toll on you physically.

This doesn&#8217;t mean they aren&#8217;t genuine, but they can obviously be selective about the patients they showcase (i.e. the happy ones). They may also offer an incentive for people to record the video.<\/p>    <p>Self-published reviews can give you a good feel for a clinic, but try to find some testimonials that are independently published by individuals who have had dental work there.<\/p>    <p>The same goes for written reviews; take those published on the clinic&#8217;s own website with a pinch of salt. In your research, look for accounts from bloggers and other individuals who have written about their dental holiday in Mexico.<\/p>    <p>Clinics sometimes go as far as to publish fake reviews on forums like TripAdvisor. They also may get their staff or associates to add positive comments to counteract any negative reviews. It can be hard to distinguish between genuine and false reviews and comments, but be wary of any that are overly positive and don&#8217;t mention any downsides at all.<\/p>    <p>The more research you do from a variety of sources, the more accurate a picture you should get of a particular dentist or clinic.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"alternative-destinations-for-cheaper-dental-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative destinations for cheaper dental work<\/h2>    <p>Mexico is not the only destination that&#8217;s popular with tourists seeking quality dental care at affordable prices.<\/p>    <p>If you&#8217;re looking for dental treatments in a location closer to home, consider <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dental-implants-abroad\/dental-care-turkey\/\" target=\"_blank\">dental implants or veneers in Turkey<\/a> or a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dental-implants-abroad\/dental-implants-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\">dental holiday in Spain<\/a>.
