Dental Tourism in Cancún
Many travelers see dental tourism as an opportunity to get the healthcare they need at an affordable cost while taking advantage of their recuperation time in an exotic and desirable vacation destination.
It is a win-win scenario, but many people still have concerns about dental tourism, and we can certainly appreciate that.
That’s why we have put together this section of our website to address some of the most common concerns we’ve heard from our patients over the years.
Why would you choose anywhere else when you could get your dental work done here?
Relax in one of the world’s most beautiful destinations while you recover your smile.
Picking the safest option in Central America
The cost of dental care in countries like the United States and Canada continues to rise, and as that happens, people are looking to other countries for their dental health needs.
However, the question, “Is dental tourism safe?” remains to many. The answer is that it depends. There are talented dentists worldwide, but you must research and find the right one for your needs.
While many look to dentists overseas because they are a more economical option, the cost should be secondary to the dentist’s track record and qualifications.
If you research Meza Dental Care, you will quickly learn that our dental clinic is one of the safest and most medically advanced options available anywhere in the world.
Our record speaks for itself
- Our dentists have over 38 years of combined dental experience between our two locations.
- Our founder, Dr. Meza, is the fifth generation of dentists in his family. The Meza family name is synonymous with Dentistry in Latin America.
- Each of our dentists has extensive training, including experience at UCLA, one of the top dental schools in the world.
- Our lead dentist in Cancún, Dr. Mauricio Peña, has more than 15 years of experience in the field.

It’s essential for us that you are aware of everything that goes into your treatment.
Here are a few reasons to consider Cancún
With many countries marketing themselves as dental tourism destinations, why should someone choose Cancún? We think the answer is easy because Cancún is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Here are a few more reasons for you to consider.
World-Class Dental Care
Within Mexico, Cancún, in particular, is world-renowned for its highly high medical standards and protocols. The region has a long history of being a safe, secure destination for medical tourists of all types…, including dental health, cosmetic surgery, fertility, and hormone treatments. And in Cancún, the hospitals are modern, advanced, and on par with those in the U.S. and Canada.
For the Right Price
Cancún offers unparalleled value when it comes to the level of service you receive. The cost of medical services here is usually less than half of what you might pay in the U.S. or Canada, and with Cancún just a short flight from many U.S. airports. It’s never been easier to visit.
A Safe Place to Visit
Cancún is one of the safest regions in all of Latin America, thanks in part to the Mexican government’s dedication to the safety of this tourist and travel haven. Though other parts of the country have faced some challenges in recent years, Cancún remains a massive tourist destination, and the Mexican government dedicates a lot of time, social services, and investment to keeping it safe, welcoming, and accessible.
A City Where Hospitality Is Everywhere
Cancún has been built around welcoming international travel, so you’ll find that everyone in the city and surrounding region tends to be friendly and experienced in the tourism business. Most people in Cancún speak fluent English, and you can always find a friendly face.
One of the World’s Favorite Destinations
For over 50 years, Cancún has been considered one of the premier tropical destinations in the entire world. It’s a white-sand playground surrounded by crystal-clear tropical waters, with as many excursions, experiences, and amenities as you can imagine.
And Just A Few Steps Away
Many of our patients choose Cancún as a dental destination because it is a relatively short flight away, less than a 3-hour flight from dozens of U.S. International Airports, including Miami, Houston, Dallas, Charlotte, and Washington, D.C.
The correct value for the right reasons
Some people assume that healthcare in Cancún is less expensive than in places like Canada or the U.S. because it’s inferior in quality.
But really, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, at Meza Dental Care, we use the same brand-name materials that dentists use in the U.S.
Here are the two main reasons we can offer such excellent value.
- Our economies are more minor, meaning that manufacturers adjust the prices of materials and products accordingly.
- Fixed costs such as rent, taxes, and labor are lower in Cancún than in the U.S. or Canada, and those savings are passed on to you.
A simple process from start to finish
One of the most common questions is, “How does that process work”?
Here is a step-by-step guide to what to expect when you come to Meza Dental Care for dental treatment.
When you contact Meza Dental Care for the first time, one of our Patient Coordinators will listen to your needs and concerns.
They may ask you for certain documents about your medical history, such as X-rays, past dental records, and teeth pictures.
Once our doctors have reviewed your information, your Patient Coordinator will schedule a call between you and one of our dentists.
The doctor will review their findings with you and discuss your options and the best way to meet your dental health goals.
After you and the doctor have agreed on the necessary procedures, we will review the estimated costs, schedule your dental treatment plan, and assist you in arranging your travel and lodging.
Once you arrive in Cancún, our friendly driver will be waiting for you at the airport, ready to bring you to us and take you on your way to your new smile. Our handy guide goes more in-depth, which you can download here!
