Dental CT Mexico

I had booked an oral evaluation at Ocean Dental while my husband and I were vacationing in Mexico, ending up in Cancun. I had been communicating with Carlos who was always prompt to reply and gave clear and detailed responses to my inquiries. We even chatted a couple of time on the phone on a toll free number. I knew I had six front teeth with composite veneers in the front that were starting to break down. This was complicated by white fillings in the back of most of them. Back home I had been told that the best procedure would be to crown all the teeth at a cost of about $1500/tooth. I have a dental plan but even though it's the "enhanced" plan - covers only $2000/ Year for crowns. The clinic send a van to pick me up at my hotel ( which is routine). My appt. was for 9:30am and the van arrived just after 9:00am with one passenger . We stopped to pick up two more people who came by ferry from Isla Muejeres where they were staying. Both parties were extremely happy with the work done and especially the cost ( one from Alberta and one from Wisconsin).By the time I got to the clinic , registered, and waited a bit for my name to be called it was probably about 10:30am. You should be prepared for waiting somewhat as it's a busy clinic and the waiting room was quite full. Despite having to wait ( some people seemed put out by it - unfortunately - this is Mexico, not the U.S. Or Canada) there was never any trace of anxiety or rushing - everyone in the clinic was relaxed and friendly. A client had brought a big bag of chocolates and patients and staff were helping themselves, laughing and joking. I was called and taken to be ex-rayed by a young man who's name I can't recall and when I asked questions he got someone else to come to answer them as his English wasn't too good. I had some 360 degree ex-rays done then went to see a young woman who did a thorough oral exam with photos and a couple more close-up exrays. She spoke English quite well and was very approachable and explained what she saw or answered questions. I felt like I was in good hands. Finally " Dr. Irma" came in and after consulting with the girl said she agreed that six crowns should be put in the front and two on the bottom pre- molars. She was also very easy to talk to and caring. I then went to see Maggie who wrote up the estimate - very thorough and knowledgeable as well as offering suggestions when I asked about a Beach to go to. The van dropped us off there instead of taking us back to where we were staying. In all the examination took over an hour and I paid $60 U. S. For it which will be deducted from the cost when the work is completed. The estimate for the eight crowns came to about $3700 Canadian and I was told to set aside a week for the work to be done ( it's better to have more time on the end in case some adjustments or "hotspots" need to be addressed). Maggie made the estimate good for a year and molds were taken of the teeth before I left. I was Very, very pleased and impressed by my experience and any nervousness I had was calmed by listening to others' experiences and seeing the clinic in action ( state of the art equipment). Why not get dental work done and save bundles while taking a vacation in Mexico?

The doctor was very easy to talk to in English. He was very meticulous about the procedure and follow-up. Very happy with the experience. Very satisfied.

I tried to find the place on my GPS but the street is actually "Calle Francisco Javier Mina" not just "javier mina". That should help you get there if you are using a GPS. It's not terribly far from the border. A driver will pick up up and take you to the the place to get the MRI completed. I waited in the waiting room there for over an hour. When you enter the room they will ask you to go the bathroom and take off your clothes to change into a gown. You will sit in the MRI machine for 25 min. Afterward you can get back into your clothes and wait for the driver to come back and grab you and the MRI disc. The doctor back at the clinic can give you your disc and images and email you your report unless you want to wait. the report is in spanish. By the way if you go straight to the MRI spot they will charge you about $155 BUT you won't have that report from a doctor. All you will have are images that you can't even understand. So it's worth paying the $227 to get the MRI and the Report from this place. It was a good experience and is my first medical tourism sort of experience. And I am not a convert. I want to handle all my medical in tijuana since I live in san diego. I just didn't like how long I had to wait at the MRI waiting room but the thing is they give you your MRI right there! If you were in the states it'll be very long time before you receive your discs and a report from the doctor. So I guess I dont have any real complaints.

I called Louis to ask about doing my veneers in Mexico. He said send me some pictures of my teeth. He gave me a great price within 1 hour. I went to Mexico, he then again verified the same price and went to work. Final teeth look great! You can totally trust this dentist if you're thinking about dental work in Mexico. All top and bottom e-max veneers were placed for right around 5k. It would have been 15k at my dentist in the states. It was a little different being that it was a small 1 chair clinic, but it had everything it needed. Louis and his partner are very skilled and professional. You can trust him as any other dentist or more!!

Complicated premolar extraction, Dental Implant and temporary crown was required. I researched dentists in Cancun and Playa del Carmen as this implant procedure was not covered by my own dental plan coverage in Canada. I went to see Dr. Castromán when I was staying in Playa Del Carmen to get a second opinion on a dental implant for an upper premolar. Dr. Castromán was very accomodating, provided open, quick and consistent communication with me and facilitated an honest and upfront approach to his practice. Dr. Castroman didn't try to upsell me on recommended work to garnish additional business, nor did he guage me on prices for the work I recieved. Dr. Castromán was very professional, made me feel comfortable and provided me with an accurate time frame for the completion of the work that was required; whereas alternate dentists told me the procedure (extraction, implant and temporary placement) would only take 30 mins to get me in the door....we all know that's a lie ;) The procedure was pain free, and the temporary fitting was excellent, much better than my own dentist in Canada....by far! I plan to go back to see Dr. Castromán to have my other implants installed in 6 months and would highly recommend him to family or anyone seeking dental work.

Doctor Yuvidia and everyone there was just absolutely amazing, kind, generous, and helpful. They gave me a new beginning in my life with all the work they performed in a short time. Everyone I know I am recommending this dentist to. Simply a perfect experience. Loving and caring people. Couldn't find better people than them. They will always be considered a part of my family for all that they did. I highly recommend all to go there.

Excellent treatment. I had the best dental work ever. Way cheaper than the prices of the U.S. I recommend this clinic to everyone I know. It is worth the trip to Merida.

It's the best service, and the price is just best!!!
