Cancún, Mexico -- Austin 24/7 TV has showcased Ocean Dental Cancun as one of the top destinations for dental tourism for US and Canadian residents, following Kim Connelly and several other patients throughout their stay in Cancun for dental work. Due to astronomical costs for restorative dental work in the US and Canada, many patients in need of implants, dentures, crowns, and more have been going abroad to save money.
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 one patient attests in the video, Ocean Dental Cancun has a “professional, modern office. Very similar to the one I went to in New York recently.” This is no coincidence: their head dentist, Dr. Irma Gavaldon, completed her graduate studies at the University of Michigan in the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program, graduating with a Master’s in Restorative Dentistry. She then went on to get her certification in both Michigan and California. 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. One woman remarks that “they have better technology here than they do at our dentist at home… and they also make the crowns here. So it’s a much faster turnaround, where in the states it’s 2-3 weeks.”
As a result, Ocean Dental Cancun receives rave reviews from its patients. At the end, Kim says, “I would recommend it to everyone I know. I’m going to rave about it when I go home.” Considering the large patient base at Ocean Dental Cancun and their growing referral network, it’s easy to assume that she is one of many who feel the same way.
