My first visit in 2018 to Cancun Dental Specialists was made to get some extensive dental work done. In the United States I got an estimate for approximately $21,000 for the work to be done, including 3 implants by a periodontist who charged over $150 just to evaluate what was needed. A friend of mine had been to Ocean Dental (CDS) with excellent results, so I decided to try it instead of going into debt for extensive & anxiety producing dental work. They picked me up at the airport at the beginning of my trip, transported me to & from appointments every day as part of the package & then took me back to the airport for my departure. The drivers are so nice, & love to practice English while I practice Spanish. Also you meet people from all over the place coming for dental care to their clinic. I was greeted by kind professionals at the front desk, evaluated for free after free xrays were examined. There was a team of dental specialists in the room discussing the best approach & I was included in the discussion & allowed to ask any question I had. Once we agreed on the procedures given the time I had allotted for my trip, they made it all work. I was explained the costs up front & decided immediately to proceed. I could hardly believe my savings. If I had do overs I would spend a few more days & spread it out some more, but that was how much work I needed & they worked on me every day for 5 days straight. Repair on an old root canal & 2 others, maxillary surgury, bone grafting & they saved my original teeth rather than put in implants as I was recommended in the USA. Plus I had 2 zirconium crowns, one of which I had to come back for due to time limits to make the second one, so they adjusted accordingly to the best solution till I could return. They guaranteed their work & bent over backwards to give me the right specialist for the right job, & they all work as a team. It is the most intelligent setup for dentistry I've ever seen. Those professionals are highly skilled, & work so hard, long hours, to make sure all their patients are well cared for. I could not believe how reasonable the price was for all that work & they did all they could to make me comfortable in the process of receiving it. When I returned 7 months later, thinking I needed certain procedures, they were so pleased with my progress that I was able to avoid more extensive work, & just had a small cavity filled & the second crown fitted (for free since it was paid for & guaranteed at first visit) & a cleaning. All this was done by dental specialists, my teeth are all intact, healing well, I have a nice clean whiter smile with no cosmetic adjustments & feel very good about going back down there in a six months for another cleaning & a checkup. I trust them implicitly & they really care about you as patient. Cancun is fun, safe, adjacent to many amazing archaeological sites, & great things to do for families & individuals. I went alone the first time as a single woman & had a great time, found my own accomodations online & they had no problem transporting me from there. I felt great taking public transport on my own time, or shopping, or exploring & always felt well looked after by the staff at Cancun Dental Associates/Ocean Dental. They are my dentists now, tho I keep a local general dentist for emergencies, I know I will receive excellent care there at excellent, affordable prices. I would go there more regularly just to visit Cancun & surrounding areas if I didn't have so many responsibilities at home. It is fun, affordable, a place for excellent adventures, there is a feeling of protection all along Kukulcan Blvd (the hotel zone) due to vigilant police protection, & the food & restaurants are amazing. If you can't eat temporarily due to dental surguries, there are organic restaurants that will blend you chicken soup for you, or feed you excellent smoothies. My driver found me one, & I go back there just for the food. We are fortunate to have them close enough to be there in a day of flying & they get right to work with your exam, so use the time you have allotted wisely. From start to finish I am more than pleased with having them as my dentists & have high regard for the whole team & their professionalism & kindness in general. I was a bit trepidacious at first but soon all my fears were allayed & I would highly recommend them & Cancun to anyone needing good, reliable, affordable dentistry. Their range of services is kind of mind boggling, all under one roof. And Mexico is a land of wonder, much of which is only a day trip away with guided tours & extraordinary historical ruins, cenotes, beautiful cultures, & the amazing beaches. I always leave wishing I had more time to just enjoy the beauty of the land and it's people. And I would not hesitate to recommend it to any of my friends, family, or others who are interested in a dental vacation. read more

I have only written one or two reviews in my life (one was a negative experience with a kayaking company in South Africa). I am doing this review because I have been totally blown away with an experience at Cancun Dental Specialists just last week. It may sound dumb, but I want as many people to hear about this as possible. I start with an experience three years ago. I went to a dentist in Salt Lake City that specializes in All-on-Four fixed dentures. My teeth were a mess and I wanted to get a professional consultation. The oral surgeon did all the xray stuff and then sat me down for his expert opinion. Great news, he could help me and recommended a fixed denture, All-on-Four procedure. The cost: $45,000! Needless to say, I quickly lost any interest. Somehow I had heard of dental tourism. My first thought was, "Dental work in Mexico? Really?" I probed deeper into the subject. The more I researched the topic the more I found satisfied patients, excellent reviews and what appeared to be professional clinics in Mexico. Moreover, a spokesperson for the American Dental Association said on NPR that there are many fine dentists in Mexico, but, like anything else, you have to do your homework to get to the right people. I looked at clinics in Tijuana, Algodones, Costa Rica and Cancun. I became very interested in Cancun Dental Specialists for several reasons: The clinic owner did her advanced dental studies in restorative dentistry at the University of Michigan (one of the top three dental schools in the U.S.) I spoke or electronically communicated to several people who had gone there and questioned them about their experience - everyone had good things to say -The dentists have excellent credentials with continuing education in the USA and lots of experience under their belt -They had state of the art equipment, their own lab that worked 24/7 -They are the largest user in all Mexico of Nobel Biocare implant hardware -They all speak good English -Dental coordinators pull it all together, hassle-free -English-speaking drivers to transport you to and from appointments and the airport -The pricing was jaw-dropping low (pun intended) They seemed to have all the right ingredients for me to pull the trigger and let them do my dental work. I called and spoke with a dental coordinator and we set an appointment. And, I had never been to Cancun and had heard nothing but great things about the beaches and the water! Important: After my 3D scan/xray, I met with Dr. Lugo, the clinic's oral surgeon. He told me I was NOT a candidate for an All-on-Four procedure. I had excellent roots and strong bone structure. Quite the opposite of the U.S. "professional" three years ago. Instead, they recommended a Full Mouth Restoration. This would mean more work and less money for them than an All-on-Four. I call my trip to Cancun, "The Agony and the Ecstasy." I hate being in any dental chair - USA or Cancun! It is agony. However, when I saw the results for their work in just one week, I was completely overwhelmed. It was pure ecstasy! And the price? 40% of what I would have paid in the United States. Check out the "Before and After" shots. Cancun Dental Specialists is the real deal. I am spreading the word to all my family and friends. Cancun is safe, the work is professional, and, the price tag is lower than whale dung at the bottom of the ocean! (Note: You might see this on other review platforms because I am determined to get the news out to the many people in the United States and Canada that desperately need serious dental work, but cannot afford the astronomical price tag.)

Choosing Cancun Dental Specialists for my dental work was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and my experience was nothing short of extraordinary--it truly sets the gold standard for dental tourism! From the moment I first reached out, the level of care and organization was comprehensive and unparalleled. Seamless Planning and Coordination The Client Coordinators are absolute rockstars! They made what could have been a stressful trip incredibly easy. They expertly assisted with scheduling the entire trip, outlining essential pre- and post-visit treatments, and booking the initial consultation. Their courtesy pick-up and drop-off at the airport was a huge relief, and after the work was done, they provided all the necessary documentation, including X-rays, medical records, and completed insurance paperwork for reimbursements. Knowing they are there to address any patient concerns pre or post visits gives you complete peace of mind. Professional and Personalized Service Once in Cancun, the front office staff kept the excellent service going. They were professional, friendly, and highly efficient, managing the scheduling of all my dental appointments and ensuring the free transportation to and from appointments was always smooth. Any issues or concerns I had while in Cancun were addressed immediately and with genuine warmth. Adding to the flawless logistics are the amazing drivers, who are professional and friendly and who transport you safely to and from your hotel, every single appointment. World-Class Facility and Doctors The clinics themselves are stunning. The offices are extremely clean and boast the latest and most advanced dental tools and technology.

They are all highly educated, trained, professional, and it is more than evident they caring deeply for each of their patients.

They also stand by their written warranty regarding the actual dental services provided and the dental products they use, giving you extra assurance that this is a long-term investment in your health. Before coming here, like many others, I had my fill of negative experiences with dentists in the past. But at Cancun Dental Specialists, I've repeatedly heard from other patients--and I couldn't agree more--that their experience has been nothing but positive. I'm already looking forward to returning to Cancun for my follow-up appointments! If you are considering dental work, especially extensive work, look no further. Cancun Dental Specialists provides a genuine five-star experience from your first telephone call through to your completed smile. read more

In a world that is extremely quick to leave negative reviews for businesses, and rarely notices and takes the time to leave positive reviews for excellent customer service...this one's for you! I reside in ColoRADo and will NEVER go to a dentist in the US again. I saved over $30,000.00$ on Quad Zygomatic Implants up top and All on 6 Implants on bottom. I received quotes from approx. 8 separate Dental facilities across Mexico, and landed on CDS. Naturally, I was super hesitant and skeptical to dive into dental tourism. I mean, different country, different language, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, thousands of dollars? To my core, I am not typically an anxious human, however, I had all of the (if not more) "usual" worries, questions, questioning of myself, fears of the unknown and fears of this was really going to work Are there hidden issues? Is the craftsmanship going to be good? Are there unexpected costs? Was this too good to be true??? I took the proverbial leap of faith. One of the best, correct and sound decisions, of my entire life. Cancun Dental Specialists, is the only facility you 100% want to be at, for anything dental. They took care of everything. All I had to worry about, was healing! From multiple appointments a day (when needed) airport-Hotel-Dentist Office-surgery, and back, transportation. The communication was Perfect, I always knew what was going on. They take very good care of their patients. Staff are true professionals and experts at their craft. Language barrier was a nonissue. They were all bilingual enough to communicate thoroughly. The staff (ALL of them) were caring, detailed, supportive, understanding professional, intuitive, patient, positive and truly bent over backwards to ensure that I felt comfortable. To be honest, I haven't experienced that about of care, in the US. Anywhere. Special shout outs to Dr. Javier Paz, Dr. Krishna, Michelle, Melanie, Janeth...all of you very skilled and knowledgeable dental assistants, Dr. Ramon... From the moment I arrived, you all eased my worries. You were all so empathetic and went above and beyond. You want some sobering truth??? I laid in bed, many days the past few years (ever since I had my top teeth pulled). I was depressed, regret, self loathing, sad, hopeless. Couldn't find a purpose. Didn't have any reason to laugh or smile, and that is one of the most important functions, in my life! I wasn't myself, I was lost, crying, distraught...and I didn't know how to get me back. So when I looked in the mirror, and saw the happiness and life, in my eyes...that is why I couldn't stop crying tears of joy. I cannot thank you all enough for giving me back my sparkle, my hope, my smile, my happiness, my confidence, my life! My voice!!! I can Rock out, singing to my steering wheel, and don't have to be embarrassed or worry about my teeth flying out (It's happened lol) Ask ANYone in the waiting room there, including myself...CDS is hands down the best in Mexico, period. You are doing yourself a disservice, in my opinion, if you attend a different, (more than likely (sub-par) facility. Thank you ALL for everything you do. You are 100% saving lives and I will be referring you and spreading the good word, until the casket drops. I have become a lifer with CDS -The End lol read more

Words cannot even begin to express my gratitude to the entire team at this amazing clinic. I had previously had composite resin veneers done somewhere else and I was not happy with my results and my experience there was also not the greatest. I came across Cancun Dental Specialists whole doing an online research on affordable and great dental clinics. Once I filled out an online consultation form I got a call back the next day from Greg Sanchez. Now Greg has been beyond amazing, he not only helped calm down my initial doubts, but was extremely helpful in getting me set up with the procedures I was looking to have done, right down to transportation. Once I decided that I was going to them (Cancun Dental Specialists), Greg Sanchez remained in constant communication with me up until my travel date. I had a lot of questions and he always got back to me in a very timely manner. His professionalism stood out to me. Once I arrived in Cancun, I was met with the driver Daniel, who was super kind and funny. I got to the clinic and the first day they did an in person consultation appointment just to get an idea of what exactly I wanted done or fixed. After the appointment I went back to my hotel and the next day they did the first phase of my procedure which was to fix my original composite veneers and the dentist Dr Guillermo Gomez not only fixed my imperfections, but gave me the exact beautiful smile I was looking for to begin with. I also got filler under my eyes again as the original filler had already wore off. Dr Pazz did my under eye filler and was very gentle and did an amazing Job as well. This was on a Saturday. I came back Monday for my final procedure which was an upper lip lift and was done by Dr Omar Lugo and he was super amazing! I felt absolutely zero pain and he made sure to constantly check on me and make sure I was ok as I was under local anesthesia so I was awake throughout the whole thing. Initially I was nervous but soon relaxed when I realized I couldn't feel anything. Dr Lugo also made sure to explain everything he was doing at each step of the procedure. Also the same day, prior to my lip lift surgery the dentist checked my teeth and tweaked a minor thing on my upper right lateral. The entire team made sure I was satisfied with everything before I left Cancun. They also organized my transportation back to the airport as well. I have honestly never received this level of care and commitment to a clients well being and happiness anywhere in the US especially at an affordable price! I highly highly recommend Cancun Dental Specialists and to the entire team : Greg Sanchez, Dr Omar Lugo, Dr Guillermo Gomez, Dr Pazz, Maggi, Carolina, to all the amazing nurses and staff and the amazing drivers as well, I just want to say Thank You!!! May you be blessed and I look forward to seeing you all in the future again. read more

I need a lot of work. I chose CDS based on hours of review and thought. I scheduled my consultation with the hopes of having a clear, direct plan for my teeth. CDS provides transportation which is very helpful. We were picked up at our hotel and taken directly to the office. Carolina checked myself and my husband in. My husband had much less need and was taken for his xrays and consultation quickly. I had the thorough around-the-head X-ray. This X-ray I have paid $500 for in the US... and I have insurance!! In fact, I have double dental insurance coverage. And still I have paid $500 for the same whole head X-ray... that was a positive check in the box for CDS that this X-ray is included with the consultation which cost me $60.00. I met with Dr Oscar and explained my goal with the visit. I do speak Spanish but spoke to everyone in the office in English and there was no obstacle. Dr. Oscar took several more xrays on individual teeth. He was extremely thorough. After he pulled up my X-rays on the ceiling monitor. My consultation was extremely clear. Dr Oscar did not rush, I had ample opportunity to ask my questions. My plan is set! While I was waiting in the office I did meet other patients who have been coming to this office for years... all from the US Their feedback was overall positive. I start my treatment in December and am excited to begin. My husband had an even more amazing consultation. All of the things he walked in saying he needed, per our US dentist...bone graph, deep cleaning every 2 months were all deemed unnecessary. This sold us on this office as well. My husband was basically "giving" them money for things he was told he needed. After xrays and consultation he was shown why he did NOT need to do what was he was being told. So in a situation where they could have made a decent amount of money, they did not try to do work that they deemed unnecessary. This review is for anyone in the same position as I am. Needing extensive dental work but unable to fathom paying US pricing... even with being insured. No one can guarantee each of our outcomes since all of our mouths and teeth are different and need different treatments but what I can do is recommend this office for their honestly, English speaking, state of the art equipment, convenience and personal testimonies of other patients who say they stand behind their word. I think it's a great place to start if you are overwhelmed on where to begin! read more

I got very upsetting news from my dentist in Canada: all of my front teeth had to be crowned because of bone mass loss and not enough tooth left for more fillings. I faced $27,000 worth of dental work at once or crowning one tooth a year (this is my dental insurance plan) for the next 12 years. I was told that two of my bottom teeth couldn't even be crowned because these were "mobile" - whatever that means in the dental world. I was devastated. I was thinking of going to Poland because the same work would cost me less than a quarter of the price quoted in Canada but it's very cold there in November and the flight takes up to 36h. I checked the dental work prices in many places in the world and Cancun, Mexico popped out. I spent hours reading reviews posted by many people for different clinics. Cancun Dental Specialists had absolutely the best reviews from all of these and the price was very good. I was anxious when we arrived in Cancun. The prospect of having major dental procedures in a very short period of time was simply scary. The clinic offered me free transportation between my hotel and my appointments which were scheduled for every day in the coming week. When I was transported to my first appointment my fellow passengers and more seasoned clinic patients who had been coming for years reassured me that I was in the best hands - they all had a history of dental work done by Cancun Dental Specialists. After the initial assessment I learned that not only I could afford the best material for my crowns but also that my "mobile" teeth could be saved. I was trilled. Then the work started. I don't have adequate words to praise Dr. Cindell - skilled, fast, gentle, compassionate, sensitive, caring ... these are just a few but these words do not and can not describe this amazing lady dentist. It's like trying to describe a sunrise: you can't convey the experience of watching it, you just have to experience. What I could say, though, is that she has the best training available. She uses the best technology - she was able to save my two 15 years old bridges and make them look like new. My new teeth could compete with those of Tom Cruise and would win! The best clinic, the best people, the best technology and the best work. As one could read, if one is still reading, I'm so happy that it's beyond words to describe it. read more

I am from The Bahamas, and gave been a very satisfied customer of Cancun Dental Specialists for almost 2 years. They attended to root canals, crowns, dental implants and general dentistry for me, at the BEST prices. Their team of dentists, support staff, receptionists, and even transportation drivers, are very caring and accommodating. They perform dentistry to the highest standards, with state-of-the-art equipment. Full assessments are conducted upon arrival and an effective treatment plan is discussed in detail. I spent $5,500 which covered 2 root canals, 1 filling, 2 quadrant root planing and scaling, 2 bone grafts for 2 implants, and 4 zirconium crowns. In the USA, this dental work would have cost in excess of $10,000. Major savings!!! Special thanks to their expert and hard working and accommodating team...Gabriel Lopez Dental Coordinator (who kept constant contact with me via email in arranging my visits from the Bahamas), Valeria and Luis, who performed my 2 root canals, Kelly and Gibian, who oversaw my 2 molar implants, Diaz and Danna, who took impressions and fitted my 4 crowns, Carlos in Administration and the 2 friendly and very accommodating front desk receptionists, Lili and Janeth...who even called me each day prior to my appointments to remind me of the time for transportation pickups from my hotels. The transportation drivers went above and beyond, even stopping me to a pharmacy twice to fill 2 prescriptions I needed. They meet you at the Cancun airport, escort you to your hotel, and at the end of your stay, provide complimentary transportation to the airport on your day of departure. They are always on time and very courteous. The whole experience is one that leaves you completely satisfied...excellent pricing, excellent service, thorough expertise and knowledge and going above and beyond in every way possible...A beautiful tourist destination while saving thousands of dollars, up to 60% less than U.S. dentistry pricing....who could ask for anything more. I recommend them absolutely and have referred colleagues and family members to them. read more

Impressed, impressed, impressed. I had a full mouth restoration replacing over 20 years of crowns and retreat the root canals. First I had an evaluation in June and was impressed with the High-end technology and equipment, dentist services, evaluation, and of course the cost of the dental plan. When I came back in September, I had only 6 days, which is really hard to restore over 22 crowns, retreat the root canals and extract the necessary teeth. Dr. Irma Gavaldon greeted me in the office and wished a pleasant painless procedure. Dr. Gustavo Mareno was taking care of no other dentists back home in my entire life. Dr. Javier Paz extracted 5 back teeth including 2 wisdoms, installed the bone graft, and sew, I didn't even feel anything. Had dinner after one hour after extraction and had no pain, no inflammation. All medicine they prescribed; I didn't even use for no need reason. Dr. Guillermo Gomez retreated my root canals, using the latest technology and spending a lot of time under the microscopic and many Xrays by Genoray sensors until the canals were done extremely perfectly. If you'll look on a panoramic xray, even the blind can find the difference between the work he's done and previous. Now I have to return back about in 6 months for the implant work. They installed temporary single crowns which look like expensive zirconia material, and I feel it my own teeth. Coming back home, my neighbor highly experienced dentist with a high-end practice in Aventura, FL noticed my excellent teeth and didn't even notice that is temporary teeth and highly complimented the work. I would like to thank the whole crew of CDS including assistants, technicians, administrative staff, and drivers who never were late and highly punctual like Swiss. Some days due to my lack of time, doctors were working with me 10 hours with huge patience. And I'll see you all soon again and happy I've chosen you. read more

READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO, my wife and I just got back after having a lot of work done by Cancun dental specialists, WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER, this is the best dental experience I have ever had, AND No one is paying for me to write this, The work they did is first rate bar none, and totally painless, best of all they really care about you, I know that sounds hard to believe, but it is really true. I had just been to 2 dentists in the US and was told that I needed a dental implant and a crown on my lower molar, due to a crack in it, both US dentists said it split the molar in half, it needed to be a the very least crowned and they both wanted to pull the tooth and replace it with an implant. The VERY PROFESSIONAL dentists at Cancun Dental Specialists took complete x rays and showed me that the crack did not split the molar in half and in fact did not even need a crown, THIS IS HOW I KNOW THEY ARE VERY HONEST, the repair was way less than the crown. My wife was informed by her regular US dentist one week before we went, that she needed 6 crowns, and again after a complete examination this turned out to be more than she really needed. After our visit I have complete confidence that they will only recommend what you need and not try to perform work that is not needed. There prices are EXACTLY what are posted on there webpage, no extra surprises. Dr. Imra Gavaldon runs an excellent operation with the latest equipment and a extremely competent staff, you do really get her, she was in my room more that 8 times during the consultation and when the work was being performed, carefully overseeing all the work. The office was extremely clean and in a very safe part of Cancun. They will arrange pick up and delivery from wherever you are staying. I will give my name and contact information with the office and I will be glad to speak to you, try them you will be glad you did. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cancun Dental Specialists (CDS) for dental work, and I can confidently say that my experience from beginning to end was exceptional. From the moment I made my first inquiry to the completion of my treatment, every aspect of my experience was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. Booking an appointment was straightforward, with the staff being extremely responsive and accommodating to my schedule. They provided detailed information about the procedures, costs, and what to expect, which helped ease any initial concerns I had. Upon arrival, I was impressed by the state-of-the-art facility. The clinic was modern, impeccably clean, and equipped with the latest dental technology. The welcoming atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff immediately put me at ease. The dental team at CDS is outstanding. Dr. Guillermo Diaz and his colleagues ( Diana & Deana ) are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their patients' well-being. They took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I understood the procedures and felt comfortable throughout my treatment. Their expertise was evident in the precision and care they demonstrated. The results of my dental work exceeded my expectations. The quality of care and attention to detail were apparent, and I am thrilled with the outcome. I left CDS with a bright, healthy smile and a newfound confidence. In summary, Cancun Dental Specialists provided an outstanding dental experience. The combination of a professional, compassionate team, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional patient care made my visit truly remarkable. I highly recommend CDS to anyone seeking top-notch dental services. Thank you, CDS, for transforming my dental health and making my visit unforgettable. read more

Starting off, we would like to thank our contact person Noah. Who worked with us to set up our appointment on a short notice. He was very prompt with his replies and had the doctors review our teeth and our pricing within 24 hrs. Upon arrival in Cancun, (April 4th) our transportation was waiting for us at the airport. We arrived at the dental clinic 30 mins later. The front desk staff Maria, Hanna, and Aridai were very professional and helpful with keeping our appointments, arranging our transportation, and helping us with other needs. We received exam and consultation, and our dental work began the next morning. Starting out with my root canal with Dr. Thelma which took approximately about 45 mins was truly unbelievable with zero pain unlike many of my painful experiences in the USA. She is truly a gifted and professional root canal specialist. As well as her assistant Abraham, he was professional and efficient. Later that afternoon, I met with Dr. Karen and her assistant Dayanira were she started the process of preparing my upper 6 teeth for my crowns. I normally don't like the numbing process but in this case, Dr. Karen was very precise and gentle with virtually zero pain. After she prepared my teeth, she proceeded to prepare my temporaries to wear till the next day. Which looked good btw. The next morning, Dr. Karen installed my 6 crowns with great attention to detail making sure that everything is perfect. She is hands down the best dentist I've ever had. I highly recommend CDS to everyone. They're highly skilled staff really care about the patient and their attention to small details to make your experience unforgettable. CDS is also 1/3 of the cost quoted in the USA and all work is completed in 1/4 of the time. Looking forward to my next appointment with CDS. read more
