For perfect teeth and a perfect dental vacation, here are some things to keep in mind.

1. Get a good quote for your dentistry in Mexico before getting on that plane or in the car.

Send a copy of your dentist's treatment plan, x-rays or panoramic xray (if available) to the dentist in Mexico. The more information the Mexican dentist has, the more accurate quote he can make.  

Photos of your teeth are almost as good as a clinical analysis. If none of the above are possible - don't worry, x-rays (except panos) are gratis at most Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association member clinics. Panoramic x-rays for dental implants etc. are only $60us in Mexico vs. $150 - 250 in the US.

2. Figure out as best as possible how many dental implants, crowns, bridges etc. you require and detail it all in the clinic's online Contact Form. Be sure to note any health issues the dentist in Mexico should be made aware of.

3. Visit the Board Certified Mexico Dental Association website to find a certified dentist qualified to do the type of procedure(s) you are seeking. Unless you are having a routine cleaning, drilling or filling - you will be assured of the best results from a certified dentist rather than a less-skilled general dentist in Mexico.

4. Get a free estimate and dental travel advice from a Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association staff member. BCMD Assn. Member dentists rely on the staff to quote foreign patients in English and schedule appointments. Most accept major credit cards, dollars or pesos.

5. Note your proposed travel dates with BCMD to be sure the dentist can accommodate you. Mexican dentists love  vacations too – especially at year end and often for 2-3 weeks. Your patient adviser (PA) at BCMD will check dentist calendars, forward you resumes, estimates, and set your appointments for you without cost.

6. Obtain a US passport – it usually takes 3 days to 4 weeks depending on the level of service you pay for. You can get the forms online or pick them up at any US post office.

7. Mexican visas are for 6 months and are given out by the flight attendants in flight. If driving, always be sure to purchase short-term Mexican auto insurance online or at the border.

8.  BCMD Assn. dental clinics members will often provide local ground transportation for appointments and some even assist with border crossings. Check with your PA.

9. If planning a dental vacation to a Cabo, Cancun, Tijuana, or a Puerto Vallarta dental clinic - be sure to bring sun bloc, hat and sunglasses. Even in winter.

10. Let a Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association Patient Adviser take the uncertainty and guesswork out of selecting the right dentist for your specific requirements. They give free estimates and referrals.
