I had been for a check up with a dentist in Fort Myers Florida and was informed that I needed Root canal - a crown on that tooth - 11 fillings - treatment for gingivitis and a deep clean - I was quoted $6,500 USD. So I went looking for an alternative. Dentalia - Cancun quoted me $1.500 UDS for the same work
When I had my consult with Dr Luis he informed me that I only needed 8 fillings and that I didn't have gingivitis. Reducing the cost of Treatment. So the Plan was Tuesday I would have the root canal and post fitted and the fillings on the right side of my mouth. I arrived at noon, I had a 90 min break after the root canal and was finished at 5. the whole experience was fine, no different to any other dentist. ( I have had treatment in the USA and in the UK) I went Back on Friday at 4pm (they are open until 8 on a Friday) to have the crown fitted - the crown looks great and feels very natural in my mouth. I also had the other 6 fillings done. I was told to expect a 3 hour treatment, but the work was completed in 2 1/2 hours.
With Mexico being so close and for the significant saving I don't know why everyone does not travel to Mexico for treatment.

I found great reviews about WhatClinic so I started looking and sent inquiries to dentists in Cancun. I had a few reply But I had done some research and already liked the sound and look of Dentalia. I also liked that it was located in a good plaza, There was a Sam's Club, Walmart, Starbucks. So I knew it wasn't a backstreet dentist before I started, which I was quite cautious of.
Beatriz was quick to respond and straight away put me at ease, because lets be honest its quite a scary thing having dental work done, but to travel to a country where I don't speak the language to have it done is even more scary. But I'm so glad I did, Beatriz was great from the beginning very helpful and I sent ALOT of emails. she was always quick to respond and they bent over backwards to help me out (this was all planned with them in less than a week) They fitted me in at short notice. and explained in detail what would happen on each of my visits.
When I arrived for my first visit I was pleased with everything I saw, everything was clean, and modern and well looked after, all of the staff were welcoming, and as I didn't speak Spanish they all communicated as much as possible in English. (which really is good as I should have been speaking their language while in their country)
Dr Erica performed my Root canal and Dr Luis the rest of the work. Both were great.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I'm sure I wouldn't have got it no matter where I went.
In fact we are planning another trip to get work done on my husbands teeth (he needs lots more than I did) and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.
