"I could not be happier with my experience with Best Dental. It began awhile ago and thru planning and efficient consultations, the staff customized my path to getting the implants I desperately needed. I could not have chosen better. I'm a new man. Now I can smile with confidence. Many thanks to Jammy and the entire staff!!!"

"For my first visit it was very nice. Dr. Ruiz was kind and considerate. He explained everything and showed me the pics of my teeth. Overall I felt good about my visit and teeth cleaning. I shall be back. I also want to thank Susy for picking me up at the Casino and returning me. She is a very conscientious driver. Jane at the front desk was welcoming as well."

How much does a dental deep cleaning cost in Mexico compared to the US?
Deep cleaning in Mexico typically costs 50% to 70% less than in the US. You can expect to save hundreds of dollars. Exact prices depend on the number of quadrants treated.
Is it safe to get scaling and root planing done by dentists in Mexico?
Yes, it is very safe if you visit a certified specialist. Many Mexican dentists use the same modern tools and sterilization protocols found in top North American offices.
What does periodontal deep cleaning in Mexico actually involve?
It involves scaling to remove plaque and tartar below the gum line. Root planing then smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach. It treats gum disease effectively.
How long does a full mouth deep cleaning take during a Mexico trip?
A full mouth procedure takes about one to two hours. Dentists often complete it in a single visit or split it into two appointments. This makes it perfect for a short trip.
Does getting your teeth deep cleaned in Mexico hurt?
The procedure should not be painful. Dentists in Mexico use local anesthesia to numb the gums completely. You might feel minor soreness for a few days after it wears off.
Why do Mexican dental offices price deep cleanings by the quadrant?
The mouth is divided into four sections, or quadrants. Pricing by quadrant ensures you only pay for the specific areas of your gums that require periodontal treatment.
What is the recovery time after a dental deep cleaning in Mexico?
Recovery is usually very fast. Your gums may feel tender or bleed slightly for one to two days. Most patients resume eating normal foods and exploring Mexico immediately.
How often will I need to travel to Mexico for periodontal maintenance?
After a deep cleaning, maintenance is typically required every three to four months. You can schedule these follow-up cleanings in Mexico or with your local dentist.
Will I face a language barrier getting gum disease treatment in Mexico?
No, you will not. The vast majority of dental professionals catering to tourists speak fluent English. They will clearly explain your treatment plan and answer questions.
Can I combine a deep teeth cleaning in Mexico with other dental work?
Yes, absolutely. Deep cleanings are often combined with exams, X-rays, or fillings. Preparing your gums first also ensures a healthier foundation for crowns or implants.
Are the periodontists performing deep cleanings in Mexico well trained?
Yes, many have advanced degrees and are trained internationally. They follow strict standards and are highly experienced in treating complex periodontal disease effectively.
Can I use my US dental insurance for a deep cleaning in Mexico?
Many US PPO insurance plans do cover dental treatments in Mexico. You will typically pay upfront and submit a reimbursement claim. Always verify coverage before traveling.
