Lumineers™ 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?

This was a pleasant experience, despite the fact that you're there for serious treatment. The staff was very professional. The dentist was very clear identifying his evaluation and of the needed treatment plan. Next came the actual treatment with both dentist and staff working in perfect harmony. Cost was very very reasonable and I am set for a follow-up appointment to evaluate how effective the treatment plan was. I strongly recommend this organization to everyone!

Had an excellent experience with Dr. Meneses and her staff. The limo service makes the whole experience more secure and less stressful. I had 20 crowns done (from pre-molar to pre-molar top and bottom) which included two 3 crown bridges. The first visit she did two sets of impressions. One for my temporaries and one for the lab to form the permanent crowns on. She prepared all the teeth and put in the temporaries in 3 hours. In ten days I went back for two hours for the permanent crowns and spent the rest of the time on the beach at the resort. Will send a photo from my Ipad. The smile of a lifetime for me! All the best Glenda Langley B.C. Marvelous!!!

Just went to have my crown filed a little. I liked the work done, no pain and 1/3 of what I was quoted here in Harlingen. Treated very friendly.

The treatment did not go as expected. However, I am pleased with the compassionate, caring response of everyone involved. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you.

Excellent! Immediate response to enquiry re availability for an appointment. Turned out that a root canal was needed. Felt very secure in the doctor's care and pleased with his clear communication of what the process was, cost, etc. Can't say enough about how well I was/am being treated. Cost very reasonable compared to what we are accustomed to.

Such a great experience! Super polite when making a reservation, very welcoming upon walking in, totally on time, and the hygienist and the dentist were incredibly professional and kind. I can't recommend this place enough.

After my initial evaluation, I needed a total of 6 crowns (4 replacement crowns with build-ups & 2 new crowns) and a new replacement night guard. The crowns were Zirconia, which is top-of-the line. In comparison with work done in the U.S., I got higher-quality crowns at a much better price. Dr. Jorge Sanchez is excellent at what he does, besides being kind, gentle & accommodating. I would definitely recommend him to a friend. Dr. Jorge was recommended to me by a friend. This was my first visit with him. Considering that dental appointments are not my favorite thing to do, it was a very pleasant & painless experience. Excellent facility & equipment. The staff is also very helpful. I will definitely go back!

I recently did a few root canals at Dental Artistic. Dr Ortiz did a perfect job. X rays show exact fillings at the apex for each canal. The post RC pain (which is normal and inevitable) is minimal. I can bite and eat 2 or 3 days after RC. The clinic is about 1.3km from border crossing. The 6Y9 bus will take you directly to the clinic, walking in Agua Prieta is safe during the day.
