Cancún, Mexico – Patients Beyond Borders, a healthcare tourism resource recognized by outlets such as The New York Times, BBC, and The Wall Street Journal, has showcased Ocean Dental Cancun as one of the top destinations for dental tourism for US and Canadian residents. In recent years, the healthcare tourism industry has skyrocketed due to astronomical costs of many healthcare procedures. Among these procedures are implants, dentures, crowns, and other restorative dentistry, all of which are part of Ocean Dental Cancun’s practice.
Still, people sometimes worry about going abroad to get their dental work done. One of the biggest fears is a difference in medical standards between the US and Canada and Mexico. However, as the article notes, “Dr. Irma Gavaldon [Ocean Dental Cancun’s founder] is a dental veteral of more than 30 years who received her training at University of Michigan’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry program, with a Master’s degree in Restorative Dentistry.” She is certified both in Michigan and California and is well-acquainted with American expectations for healthcare.
Having now returned to Mexico with 30+ years of dental experience under her belt, she has opened a
top-notch clinic specializing in restorative dentistry. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including an in-house CAD/CAM machine. This device is truly the technology of the future—it works by uploading a picture of the final dental restorations and then goes to work sculpting the crowns, dentures, and bridges with extreme precision.
While many clinics have to outsource this technology, Ocean Dental Cancun keeps it right in their own lab for maximum quality control. This allows the lab to produce a large number of restorations, including “full contour crowns, bridges, veneers, abutments and dentures in all types of materials, including IPS e.max all-porcelain, zirconium, all noble, non noble, and acrylic.” When you add in the 19 specialists and assistants that make up the Ocean Dental team, the possibilities are endless. As a result, Ocean Dental Cancun receives rave reviews from its patients. They provide several additional patient services, including “five personal patient coordinators, disounted rates for nearby accomodations, free quotes and consultations, free airport pick-up and hotel shuttle, free teeth whitening on major dental treatments, and a free local cell phone.” No wonder they have over 2,000 patients coming through their doors each year! At Ocean Dental Cancun, the patient is always the first priority, so between the professionalism, state-of-the-art facilities, and customer service, it’s no wonder it’s been featured as one of the best.
