Affordable High-quality Dental Care in Mexico
Affordable High-Quality Dental Care in Mexico
Our 4-Step Evaluation Process
Each Mexico dental clinic in our program undergoes a 4-step evaluation process to ensure high-quality service. In addition, dentists in Mexico guarantee their services. Our assessment includes the following:
- We do routine site visits to all dental clinics in our program.” Yes, we visit the clinics in our referral program. We don’t send any referrals to distant locations we haven’t vetted.
- We do a comprehensive assessment of the doctor’s credentials. We also interview the doctors and staff.
- We conduct periodic reviews. We study their dental practices to ensure adherence to our patients’ procedures and protocols, and to help them understand how to meet our patients’ needs.
- We refer our clients only to vetted dental clinics. We also monitor their progress to ensure continued high patient satisfaction. If patients need help with their dental treatment after they return home, we advocate for a quick and mutually satisfactory solution.
How to Find a Good, Affordable Dentist in Mexico
Thousands of people cross the border each year to access quality, affordable dental care in Mexico. American patients have been receiving dental treatments in Mexico for many years, sometimes even decades. According to a report commissioned by Families U.S.A., a Washington advocacy group for healthcare issues, “About 90 percent [feel] the dental care they had received in Mexico had been good or excellent.” That is better than the results for care received in the U.S. in the same survey.
Can You Trust Dentists in Mexico?
A Better Question: Can You Trust YOUR Dentist?
Better home care in the U.S., as well as changing profit centers and insurance payments for specific dental procedures, have all influenced a pattern of widely divergent diagnoses from dentist to dentist. Over the last two generations, cavities have decreased by 50% while the number of dentists has increased dramatically, with more dentists graduating from American dental schools each year. As a result, dentists compete more aggressively, creating pressure to find new profit centers. The emergence of newsletters like The Profitable Dentist, along with seminars and courses, evidences this trend by helping dentists generate more profits. Unfortunately, higher earnings for dentists lead to more expensive treatment for you.

According to William Ecenbarger, an award-winning investigative journalist, “Dentistry is a stunningly inexact science.” In his article “How Dentists Rip Us Off,” he documents his experience being diagnosed by 50 different dentists, with cost quotes for dental treatments ranging from under $ 1,000 to over $28,000. Unfortunately, almost a third of the dentists he consulted failed to identify the actual confirmed problem he had (one crown on tooth No. 30).
Dental insurance skews this discovery by rewarding dentists far more lucratively for some services than for others. Therefore, the type of insurance and your specific coverage may influence the dentist’s recommendations. According to Dr. John Dodes, a dental expert for the National Council for Health Fraud, the treatment parameters adopted by the American Dental Association are “mostly nebulous generalities that do little to guarantee patients adequate treatment.” Some dentists may take advantage of the opportunity to recommend costly and unnecessary treatments that are more lucrative. Unfortunately, we regularly see this firsthand from our clients. Don’t be caught off guard by the old stereotype of the family neighborhood dentist. Dentistry is a significant industry, and you should understand that. You can read more in our blog post, Americans are Traveling Abroad for Dental Care.
Will You Receive the Same Treatment Plan from Our Dentists in Mexico?
Our dentists in Mexico are highly trained and credentialed, providing all the services available in the U.S. However, you may find that the treatment plan our Mexico dentists suggest is more conservative and, therefore, less expensive. Many U.S. dentists are honest and well-trained, but several factors, as discussed above, affect the consistency of treatment plans from dentist to dentist.
Dentists in Mexico have made it clear to us that their diagnoses may differ from the dental treatment plan provided by a U.S. dentist, as the same economic factors do not influence them. Ultimately, the care provided by our dentists in Mexico will depend on their review of your dental treatment plan and an in-person examination. So, the dental treatment plan you submit and the dental treatment you receive in Mexico may differ. It could be less or more. It is imperative to note that Beyond Borders Dental has carefully screened Mexican dentists in our programs through direct meetings and interviews, ensuring both quality and affordable dental work.
Is There a Guarantee for Dental Treatment?
Yes, the dentists in Mexico who are part of our program guarantee the quality of their dental treatment, materials, and services. However, if you are unhappy or need any adjustment (which is not uncommon for dental care in the U.S.), they will modify or redo the dental work as necessary.
Even though you may be saving thousands or tens of thousands of dollars with your treatment at our approved dental clinics, keep in mind that you may incur additional costs and time if an adjustment is needed. For instance, you may also incur additional hotel and meal costs. However, given the savings our patients enjoy, most people find that modest travel costs are inconsequential compared to the substantial savings from their dental work. Some of our patients have saved tens of thousands of dollars and were happy to travel to our approved dental clinics for treatment.
Don’t delay getting the dental treatment you need just because of the cost. If you’re looking for quality and affordable dental care in Mexico, we can help. We will be your advocate every step of the way, answering all your questions and concerns.
