Mexico is a popular destination for American and Canadians seeking affordable dental work. In fact, Texas and California boast several small border towns whose entire economies depend on dentistry. For some travelers, traveling to Mexico for dental work can save up to 70 percent of the costs in their home countries—and the idea of enjoying a tropical vacation in addition to receiving top-notch medical care can be very alluring.
Mexican dentists are renowned for their artistry as well as staying up on the latest technological advancements. For this article, we compared more than 50 clinics in Cancun, one of the most popular destinations for dental tourism. We recommend booking through Bookimed, a robust directory featuring only the best and most prestigious dental practices in Mexico.
