Why You Should Get Dental Care in Mexico

Why You Should Get Dental Care in Mexico

Dental Tourism

You’re sitting in your dentist’s chair for your semi-annual cleaning when your dentist starts focusing a bit too intently on your teeth. He cocks his head to the side, shines his light into the back of your mouth, and makes a sound that is nowhere near reassuring. You know immediately that something is wrong.

Maybe you anticipated this and hoped it would be minimal, and maybe you’re blindsided. As your dentist begins to describe what you need, you might hear words like “root canal” or “dental implant,” but most of your mind is flooding with dollar signs and fear. Then, finally, you stop hearing them speak altogether.

You’re easily looking at thousands of dollars of dental treatment, and you have bills to pay. So you’ll have to put it off until you have the funds, which may not be for months or years. And when you’re finally able to face your fate and get the dental care you desperately need, the situation will inevitably be worse and more expensive.

There is an alternative solution

But what you may not know is that there is an alternative solution. You can follow in the footsteps of thousands of other Americans and travel abroad for your dental care. Dental tourism (traveling across the border for cheaper dental treatment) can be a safe and effective option. Here’s why dental tourism might be a fantastic option for you.

Great option

The savings of dental tourism in Mexico are significant, and these savings are compounded if you need multiple procedures. For example, a root canal typically costs about $1,280 in the U.S. The same procedure in Dental Biodesign (Tamaulipas, Mexico) costs about $278. That’s a $1,000 in savings just for one root canal!

The average cost for a porcelain crown in the U.S. is about $1,200; in Mexico, it costs around $550. And since people frequently need crowns and root canals simultaneously, these savings can add up quickly. You can also get affordable dental implants with us (about $2,000 in Dental Biodesign vs. $4,000 in the U.S.).

Mexico Dental Care is Fast and Efficient

A significant complaint for dental care in the U.S. is that it is slow. The process of getting a crown can take a few weeks – first, to get into the dentist’s office, then the root canal and temporary crown is one visit, and a couple of weeks later you get the permanent crown. In Dental Biodesign, this is done within a couple of days! Why? Our dental office works with a highly qualified labs to do this job. Because dental work in Mexico is so common, Matamoros cater to this trade, both with dental related business and tourist business for Americans to enjoy during their brief stay.

Is it safe to travel to Mexico for dental treatment?

One of the biggest myths associated with dental tourism is that it isn’t safe. Mexico is a big country, and just like when you travel anywhere else, you need to do some research in advance to know where to go. Some cities are dangerous for tourists, but Matamoros is a border town actually cater to U.S. tourists seeking dental care. Our city is close to the U.S. border and are very safe for travel.
