Single Implant Playa Del Carmen

I was told the first appointment was for a consult and impressions and the second appointment would be to put my veneers on. Turns out they wanted 4 days of appointments. The 1st appt consult, 2nd impressions and teeth prep, 3rd apply veneers and 4th appt a checkup. Being told only two appointments when I requested info at home before was maddening as I scheduled my holiday activities around this. They picked me up from my hotel on time. But lots of waiting! Too much waiting. The amount of time you’re here, double or triple it. My email confirmation said I needed at least 25% down but when I was there they said they wanted 50% down and that they don’t do 25%. Also expect a couple extra charges, they always want to clean your teeth before they do anything and I wasn’t told that before I went in there. The clinic itself is clean and professional. Many employees spoke English but during the times the doctor was reviewing, everything they said was in Spanish so I didn’t know what was going on. The dental assistants were very good and take good care of you. I am happy with my teeth and the care once I actually got to sit in the chair. But it got frustrating waiting because I was also on holiday. I would go back to this clinic but I would prepare myself for longer and more visits next time.

Went for a clean, got a clean. Great value, no massive pressure from the dentist. Which was great because I've been absent from their institutions for about 6 years! Am going back this week to get a filling replaced :) My choice! Great value for money, teeth cleaning was only 500 pesos

Needed a cleaning (stain removal). They were prompt, courteous, and very professional. Everything they did was explained to me before they did it. They did an excellent clean and polish after a quick check. It was a very good value. The clinic is perfectly located in Playa. There was no issue with my limited Spanish. My appointment time was met in a timely matter. I will return.

It has been two years since Dr. Pituala applied my veneers, and I continue to be happy with his work. My local dentist thought he did it himself! Dr. P is the consummate professional and a great communicator. His integrity is impeccable; you will be happy you came to his clinic! His facilities are modern, and the staff is very attentive. The examination room actually was more advanced than that of my local doctor (in the US). I was very impressed with the quality of the facilities.

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.

I had two old bridges that failed. One bridge was removed last year but I waited for the right time to install the two implants. I had the other bridge removed last week. The bridge was attached to a back molar. They were able to do a root canal and save that tooth. Otherwise, I would had to have an extraction and another implant. The root canal was done by a specialist that only does root canals. She came to their clinic and worked 2 hours on my molar. It had very strong canals. The total cost was $450us. The next day, I had 3 implants completed in less that one hour. The only pain was the anesthesia needle. Piece of cake on the drilling and implants. Costs of the 3 implants was less than $3000us. I will have the crowns put on after 3 months. It is a husband and wife dental team. They are very, very good dentists. Advanced training at a major university in Spain! I had plans to be in Mexico again so I checked out a possible clinic. Bokanova reviews were very good. I made an appointment over email from the States. Quick reply and was given a very reasonable estimate. Labor costs and overhead costs are very low in Mexico which means a great price compared to USA prices. However, the facilities and my dentists met or exceeded any experiences that I had as dental patient for almost 60 years! English is spoken by the dentists and receptionist. No trouble with communication. I will come back again for my annual checkups. :)

Two fillings plus cleaning So far, I have had dental care in 6 different countries in my life. The best one was at Coral Dental Center with doctor Itzia Magana. She is a graduate of the Mexican dental school and has 7 years of practical experience. Despite her young look, she is a very self-confident doctor, very skilful, attentive, thorough, and caring. I had my teeth cleaned by the doctor herself and two front, cosmetic type, fillings (one of them was a replacement of the old one) under Novocaine-type anaesthetics. She used new sterile instruments – I saw the valid expiration date on each package. So far the fillings have not fallen out. The fillings’ tint perfectly matches my teeth color and they look great, much better than ones done by American dentists. Before my next visit to Playa del Carmen I will plan my dental appointments with Dr. Magana. It is possible to do in English via email or phone. Yrene, the scheduler, communicates in English. It’s a pleasant and safe 30 minute walk from the hotel to the dental office. Each of my office visits took approximately one hour. Dental care in Mexico will save me time, money and will make me very happy.

I broke a tooth and piece of filling right before my vacation to Mexico.. I looked around for a dentist for a couple of days, but there were always closed during their posted hours. One evening at 7:30pm, the night before my departure, I went to the wine store next store to this dentist. I decided to stop in, though I knew he closed at 8pm. Dr. Alfonso was wondering, stayed till past night preparing my tooth for an overlay that I know usually takes 2 days to do. He was so wonderful calling the lab and arranging for my new tooth to arrive by 12n the next day as I was leaving at 1pm. Love my new tooth , now pain free and all done at a very affordable price. I cant thank Dr. Alfonso and Dr. Paulina enough.

Before my trip to Playa Del Carmen, a crown work was diagnosed for bad tooth diagnosed in Canada. When I visited the dentist in Playa, he re-diagnosed my bad tooth with x-ray, 3D, and tests (3D wasn't done in Canada) to ensure the cause of toothache. The dentist found that no fracture in my bad tooth and no crown work is needed. He helped me with some teeth filling and he fixed my tooth pain. The dental clinic also emailed me the X-ray and followed up my toothache. With my bad gum, I still felt uncomfortable on my bad tooth on the same afternoon after the visit; then, I sent the clinic an email and they scheduled me in right away to check the filling and gum. The dentist gave me a couple tubes of Sensodyne toothpaste to ease my sensitive gum. In short, the clinic is well equipped and dentists are very knowledgeable and responsible. Very good experience at Bokanova Riviera Maya. The Clinic is clean and in the main, busy area of Playa Del Carmen. The diagnosis equipment (X-ray, 3D) are good and clean and the lab is just located next door of the dental clinic. You feel confident of good dental work when walking in the door.
