FIND the Right Certified Cabo Mexico Dentist for Dental Implants, Oral Surgery, Orthodontics and more!

By David de Los Angeles Mexico Dental Consumer Advocate

Are you searching for a board certified dentist in Cabo? 

If you are like most Americans for a Cabo dentist you want one who is an expert dentist for crowns, veneers, orthodontics and dental implants. A cleaning? You can get that at home but you can't get advanced dentistry in the US for a reasonable price anymore. 

But you have to be careful in Los Cabos (or anywhere in Mexico for that matter) when selecting a dentist for your important dental work as most dentists in Cabo are only general dentists and they'd love to have a chance at doing your dental implants or cosmetic dental makeover. 

Avoid general dentists when in need of a crown, root canal or dental implants in Los Cabos and go for the real deal. A Board Certified Cabo dentist can save you a lot of money and get your dentistry made right the first time. 

You've heard by now that you can literally save 1,000’s of dollars on your dental implants or cosmetic dentistry in Mexico. The numbers are tantalizing: Crowns for only $395-650usd that cost $800 to $2,500 in the US. Dental implants with name brand units complete with crowns costing $4,500 or more in the US are only $2,100. - $2400 by a certified implantologist in Los Cabos.

But you have to know where to go to get the work done right because if you let a general dentist under the hood - you may have to get the work done over again if you are unlucky.

How to Find The Best Dental Implants, Cosmetic Dentistry, Oral Restoration & Cosmetic Dentistry in Mexico 

By the Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association  

Before you jump on a plane to see a dentist in Mexico (or drive across the border) there's some important things to know about dentistry in Mexico and other developing nations.

Dental tourists from developed countries need to be aware that things are not always the same as back home when considering treatments by a dentist in Mexico or elsewhere offshore. General dentists with only basic dental education are permitted in many developing countries to attempt advanced dental procedures without proper training or credentialing. 

This is the most problematic of all the issue regarding dental tourism. This practice is a clear violation of consumer protection laws in most developed countries - but legal in many (including Mexico) developing nations. 


In many developing nations (Mexico included), a general dentist may call him or herself a specialist in implants or endodontics without having graduated from a dental specialist college. To be Board Certified, they have to pass another battery of tests after specialist college graduation. When you select a board certified dentist - you know that you are getting a dentist who has been properly trained to do your work. 

Many foreign patients have unwittingly spent 1,000's of dollars on implants and makeovers by a general dentist only to have the work redone at a later date due to infections, misalignment and other problems.

Bottom line: Unless the dentist you select abroad is board certified for the procedures you need, you don't know what you will kind of work you will end up with. And to have the work redone is costly, often very difficult and not painless.

EBOLA TRAVEL BANS BY COUNTRY, MEDICAL & DENTAL TOURISM INFO - Update April 2016

Ebola is Frightening

But it's not the end-of-the-world as some would have us believe.

UPDATE: As of April 2016 - West Africa is nearly Ebola free. Again, Again as it keeps rearing its ugly head like a whack-a-mole. But overall - the near eradication of Ebola is one of the successes of the World Health Org.

Today medical and dental tourism patients bound for popular health care travel destinations such as Mexico, Thailand and the Philippines can expect a little extra health screenings on arrivals from some countries but that will soon become the norm everywhere. And not only because of ebola but because of the many other viral threats such as MERS  that will continue to appear over time.

EBOLA - A NIGHTMARE FOR MEDICAL AND DENTAL TOURISM

The virus Ebola is the most deadly thing to come along since the swine flu in 2009 and the Asian bird flu or SARS. The first  swine flu influenza pandemic occurred in 1918 and killed an approximate 50-100 million worldwide. The virus reappears often but is not nearly as deadly as ebola. The more recent swine flu was responsible for 1,000,s but not millions of deaths. 

Ebola arrives at a time when people travel more often and with the virus itself being more communicable than the swine flu of 2009 there is a potential recipe for disaster.
