You will find multiple dentists along the US-Mexico border but not all of them are qualified to perform quality dental work. In order to find the best dentists, follow our useful tips that will help you choose the right dentists for your oral health needs.

Look for Your Dentists Certification:

Asociación Dental Mexicana (Similar to the ADA in the US) has over 5,000 dentists in Tijuana alone. Some dentists have even started to apply for membership in the American Dental Association. Other dentists in Mexico have studied in the United States or currently teach there. 

Cost vs. Quality:

The dentists in Mexico perform quality dental work in Mexico just like dentists in other countries such as the US. However, the prices are lower due to the living cost difference. See the dental work pricing in Mexico and choose the one that you can afford. 

Cultural Differences & Freebies:

Dentists along the Mexico-US border have complied with the needs and requests of their northern patients:

  • Speak fluent English
  • Provide pick-up to their patients’ from the border,
  • Offer shuttle services included in the cost of the dental treatment or even hotel stay.

Ask the dentist about what is included in the cost of your dental work.

Questions that can help: 

  • Is the dentist trained abroad?
  • Does he teach or has done fellowship courses?
  • Is the dentist using the latest technology? 

Tip: Also prepare a list of questions to ask your dentist regarding your specific procedure to put your mind at ease and make an informed decision for your dental health.
