Find 10+ Gingivectomy Clinics in Playa Del Carmen

Was incapacitated due to a bicycle accident, took my credit card and charged $8,000 while I have no memory of giving my card or signing receipts. Really unbelievable that places like this can operate. Please use the following URL to file medical complaints for medical malpractice with the Mexican government: https://www.gob.mx/cofepris

The dental experience was very professional and comfortable. Everybody was very friendly and explained every process in detailed.

I have a tendency to conduct endless research before I make a major purchase and this was no exception. I was considering making a major purchase to improve my smile. After several weeks reading reviews and researching the best dentists in Mexico I found Smile Makeover Playa Del Carmen. I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. Like most people I've lost that bright smile and have been concerned with how much my teeth had yellowed over the course of many years. Getting veneers was an option I wanted to explore but the cost in the US was prohibitive. That's when I found Smile Makeover Playa Del Carmen. I spoke with the clinic and they answered all my questions and provided an estimate for the work I wanted. It was probably 20-30% of what it would have cost here. Despite the excellent reviews I was of course concerned about flying two hours out of the country to visit a dentist across the border. I found the clinic to be state of the art and the staff young, friendly and professional. They all spoke English and patiently explained everything that would take place. After my consultation on Tuesday I returned Wednesday for a surgical extraction in preparation for a bridge. I have to say this was the one issue that concerned me. It turned out to be a non issue. When I say I felt no pain I mean I felt "No Pain!" Dr. Martha was incredible and I experienced no discomfort in the days that followed. It was suggested I allow 8-10 days for the work to be completed. It turns out that I was there for 8 days and had some additional work done. My dentist back home had quoted about $500 for a surgical extraction and another $5000 for a four unit bridge. Smile Makeover extracted the tooth and charged me $54.00 and provided a temporary bridge for $675. I go back in six months for the permanent bridge. On Thursday I was back for the prep work for 20 porcelain veneers. Dr. Kimberly reshaped my teeth, took molds and provided temporary veneers until the permanents could be made. I had the next 4 days to enjoy the beach and shops while the lab created the finished product. I returned the next Tuesday and in less than 2 hours I had the smile I'd always wanted. My family and friends were so impressed 2 of them are planning their own trips across the border. I know this is a rather lengthy review of my experience with Smile Makeover but I wanted to provide as much personal information as possible to help someone else make this major decision. Don't be afraid to come to Mexico for your dental work and consider Smile Makeover Playa Del Carmen as the best choice, both professionally and financially.

Received excellent care! Highly recommend Dr. Melissa Garcia!

The attention is first class, everyone is very friendly, Dr. Lucero treated us and her super soft hand and incomparable prices are delightful. Recommended.

Excellent service. Very good prices.

I'll just start with, I'll never go back to the dentist in the US. This is actually my second time to a Mexican dentist, but my first time to Los Algodones. And let me tell you, my dental experience in this dental capital of the world was the best dental experience of my life. I was more than a bit nervous because I was driving from states for my appointment. Being a novice to this whole Los Algodones thing, I thought I could just pop in and get a room at one of the hotels in town when I got there. Turns out, booking ahead of time is a good idea. They were full. So I had to stay in Yuma. Which really isn't the best place on Earth, but that's my opinion! On the day of my appointment, I drove to the border crossing, parked my car in the parking lot (at the border crossing - it's $10 day / $20 night for vehicles), and walked across. A couple of guards were standing around but that's it. Nobody even checked my passport. Within 20 yards, I was standing right in the middle of all the action in Los Algodones. There's lots of guys trying to get your business, either for dentists or ophthalmologists. I already had done my research online and had an appointment at a place that had great reviews, Fixing Smile dental (more info on them below), so I got to bypass all those guys. Made it to my appointment early because there was no line at the border, and they took me right in. There was one person in the waiting room and another just leaving the back office. I waited approximately 5 minutes and they called me back. All the while speaking English. The entire visit was professional. The doctor had a chat about what I needed. Dr.Ana Cervante didn't try to upsell me. She actually didn't even look at anything but the tooth I told her needed attention and since shes a root canal specialist/dentist. Told me the price before she started any work, which was exactly the price they told me when I made my appointment ($280 for root canal, $350 for zirconia crown - remember, everyone is different, so dont expect the same exact price!), and communicated every step of the way to me in English. Turns out, the tooth I needed root canal on was infected. So half was completed that day, with a finish of medicating the roots and putting a temporary filling in, for me to return in 2 weeks to finish the root canal and get a crown put on. The only discomfort I felt through the whole process was the needle for numbing. Absolutely no pain throughout the process, nor afterwards. I didn't even need a Tylenol once the numbing wore off. The office was spotless, brand new all the staff spoke English, the equipment was all state of the art, the doctors were professional, empathetic, personable, and experienced. They know their stuff! It's what they do, every day, all day. The previous dentist I was coming from, in states a few weeks before, took about 30 minutes to put in a temporary and made ground beef out of my gums in the process. Not here. Im difinitely recommending Fixing Smile dental for any dental needs!! Yes, there are some bad dentists down there. Yes, you take your chances. JUST LIKE HERE IN THE U.S.! Do online research before you go. It was my experience that very few of them actually return emails. You have to call. Make sure that you get extended service on your phone to support your plan in Mexico. It's $10 a day, or with some plans it comes included. I would have been a bit lost without my Google Maps. My experience was fantastic. And this is now my dentist. Even after an 6 hour drive, and going through it all solo. She was fantastic. They are located about a block from the border crossing. What would have cost me $4000 in the US cost me $630, took less time, and was a much better experience. I highly recommend it!

I love it

The quality of the work in general was good, except there was one big issue. In late 2023 I had four teeth extracted (front bottom, 23-26), bone graft in those sockets (and I questioned the need at the time!), and a temporary bridge installed. When the temporary was being installed, they had to press very hard to get the temporary down over the swollen gums. I had intense pain for several days after the procedure. I believe two, of the four open sockets after extraction, had "dry socket". The sutures holding the gums closed apparently failed, either from the swelling or the pressure of the temporary pressing on the gums. I think they should have waited another day for the swelling to subside. Fast forward to late in 2024 - I go back in to get the permanent bridge installed, with the understanding that if there were indeed failed bone grafts they would credit them back toward the permanent bridge. The panoramic clearly showed that the bone grafts were nonexistent in 24 and 25 (tissue, not bone, was there) and only partly filled in 23 and 26. Yet they REFUSED to credit the cost of the bone grafts, knowing that I had traveled there and was committed - they were refusing to do the additional procedures unless I paid the full amount. Not only a screw up, but also broke their word to me.

Excellent service! I loved the clinic! Above all, the attention of Mrs. Ángeles was magnificent! Thank you so much!

Dr. Sanchez is an outstanding dentist. After having several extremely frustrating evaluation experiences in the US, when I arrived in PV, I made an appointment with Dr. Sanchez. Without question, it was a good choice. He is professional, highly skilled, very experienced and fluent in English. My problem having a missing tooth replaced with an emax 3 unit bridge because the gap left by the missing tooth was too small for an implant was solved in two consecutive visits. I spoke with my cousin in the US who runs his own dentist business in Milwaukee and he was also impressed with the work Dr. Sanchez did he reviewed the pictures I sent him . I would highly recommend Dr. Sanchez to anyone who was considering dental work. As an added bonus, the price was approximately 75-80% less than it would have cost in the US.
