A-new-Cancun-Cosmetic-Dentistry-Happy-Patient-Doctor-German-Arzate

 

We always feel honored when patients come back for vacation and choose Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry for additional types of dental treatments. Our dear patient Paty had visited our dental clinic before, so when she was in need for dental implants, she made the decision to get them during her vacation in Cancun.

 

Paty got an estimate of $5,000 USD per implant in USA and she would be saving more than 70% with us. Dental implants in Cancun cost $899 USD, plus the crown and abutment for $700 USD. We use the same FDA approved materials as Dentists in United States (you can check or price list here). and we have one of the most professional and experienced teams in implant dentistry. We hosted the Live Implant Surgery Course by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, where a dozen American dentists come to learn from the experts like Doctor German Arzate, Doctor Shankar Iyer and Doctor John Minichetti.  We are just that good!

 

Paty made sure to make the most out of her dental vacation. She went to swim with dolphins and visited Xcaret, one of the most renowned ecological parks in the world. There are many things to do in Cancun for everyone… from relaxing in the beach of your hotel and visiting archaeological sites, to exciting jungle tours and water sports.  There is a reason why Cancun has almost 3 million visitors per year!

 

Paty left us a couple of lovely messages reviewing Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry:

I love Cancun.  Love the clinic. I’ve been here before. Very committed to the patient. Thanks!

Ancient toothbrush history

For many, a toothbrush is something they cannot live without, but have you ever wondered how people in the past took care of their teeth without them? Is not like cavities and gum disease are just recently affecting human mouths. We talked here about one of the first root canal procedures done by people almost over 14,000 years ago, with the help tiny stone needles. So what about the every day cleaning of teeth? One of the most easy and common ways to keep the bigger food debris off the teeth would have been using wooden or stone toothpicks. Sadly, this wouldn’t have helped to fight the plaque still building up on the surface of the teeth. We can only assume people would have used only their finger to clean visible bits of food.

 

The ancient Babylonians and Egyptians developed a good alternative using twigs with a frayed soft ends to work like brushes. Twigs from aromatic bushes were preferred. This could be regarded as the very first toothbrush. People would also make concoctions with herbs to make mouthwash to combat bad breath.

 

Sadly, the frayed stick toothbrush didn’t take a hold on the habits of the rest of the world. Twigs would brake and rot so it wasn’t always an option. There was a need for something more lasting. Mean while, in Asia, the Chinese developed a toothbrush made with hard bristles and some of them were brought to the west by European travelers and merchants, but it would take a while before it became a common sight. People would still clean their teeth with toothpicks and maybe use a cloth to rub off plaque from the surface of the teeth. Coincidentally, is in this era when barbers started to branch off and specialize to study oral health, as they had been pretty much the only people allowed to offer teeth extraction services. By 1600 these first dentists started to promote the use of toothbrushes as first line of defense against cavities and other maladies of the mouth.

 

The first “modern” toothbrush as we know it, was manufactured in mass by William Addis, who made a fortune out of it and since then it has become an object essential for everyday life. In fact, because toothbrushes are such a basic tool for people’s health around the world, it was regarded as one of the most important inventions in history. So make sure you don’t forget to floss your teeth at least twice a day!

Live Implant Surgery Course in Cancun, May 2016!

 

We are still surprised by the results of the 5th Live Implant Surgery Course in Cancun hosted by our clinic last week. The previous course had been in March and when he heard the next one would be on May we were actually more than a little surprised. We are used to a 6 month waiting between courses so hearing this made us up perk up in confusion asking “Did we just misheard?”. Well, it seems we did such a great job on all the other implant courses that the AAID simply had to make an additional event for all the people that couldn’t make it on March (it was already sold out by December 2015!). We can’t deny were impressed and kind of proud of ourselves.

 

If you liked our page on Facebook you might had seen the publications all over that week. This time we made an extra effort to upload the pics and vids as we got them, so you could see the doctors learning from Doctor Shankar Iyer and Doctor German Arzate. We placed over 100 dental implants over the course of 3 days. The american doctors and our staff were exhausted at the end but completely blown away by all they learned.

We got several unique cases, offering the doctors the opportunity to hone their dental implant skills with sinus lifts, ridge expansions, all on 6, etc, and Doctor Shankar Iyer was extremely happy with this variety and praised over and over again the professionalism of our staff and the modern facilities we provided. Doctor Shankar Iyer is the President of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, an eminence on the field and we must say it was a great honor and a pleasure to work along side him! Here’s a video of him talking about the experience.

 

We are also happy to announce we will have another course, this time on August on this year. We are still waiting for confirmation on the exact date, but you can bet it will be an amazing event. We are hoping this time we have the presence of our dear friend Doctor John Minichetti, Director of the Dental Implant Training Center, who is also known as the “Implant Daddy” among the dental industry, he’s. It would be amazing to have Dr. Shankar Iyer, Dr. John Minichetti and Dr. German Arzate, the experts of implant dentistry, working together at the same time.

We are always happy to see old faces coming back to Cancun. In this occasion was Larry visited us for the second time and we were thrilled to see him again. He came for Michigan and was more than ready to have a great dental vacation in Cancun. He came with his wife. He went to enjoy the beach while he was waiting to the lab to finish his dental work.  With his previous experience he had a pretty good idea of what to expect and how to spend his time in Cancun. Many patients are unsure on what they can actually do while they come to our clinic. For most of them, they are in and out in less than an hour, unless they require some surgery for dental implants.

 

We encourage our patients to have fun while they are here. We can suggest some things to do in Cancun when you start planning your visit so make sure to ask our dental planners about it. They might give you the perfect activity depending on your preferences. After all, Cancun has something for everyone… we have wonderful beaches to walk, amazing all inclusive resorts, water-parks for families, water-sports, fishing, golfing, Mayan archaeological sites and even extreme adventure tours in the jungle. It all depends on what you like best.

 

Larry left us a small review praising Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry:

(The clinic was) very nice, clean and well managed. The doctors were very thorough. The 1st time I saved $7,500 USD, this time saved $2000. Staff is excellent – fun + smiles!

Smile Makeover in Cancun

 

Today we have a wonderful case of smile make over! Mary came to Cancun from Minnesota with her husband looking for affordable dental work. Some of the estimates the dentist in USA gave her were around $35,000 USD and that was something she could not afford. Luckily for Mary, she already had some friends who had come to our dental clinic and they recommended her to get her smile makeover with the dentists in Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry.
She took this opportunity to have a very relaxing vacation while she waited for the work to get done. That’s the best way to save thousands of dollars on your smile makeover, have it done while you have your vacation! Coming to the dentist won’t take much of your time and you will still be able to relax on your hotel, walk on the beach or even go on an adventure jungle tour.

 

Mary is pictured above with Doctor Cesar Ibañez and she also left a couple of comments on the clinic and the other staff:

We love it here! All were professional, so kind, helpful, welcoming. The best I have had.

 

Porcelain crowns are great for people looking for a smile makeover because you will be able to choose size, shape and color of your new smile.

Veneers in Cancun

 

Is time to tell you about yet another happy patient in Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry! Today we will talk about our dear patient Brooklyn! She’s a lovely woman and this was her first time coming to Cancun. She wanted to improve her smile and we obligated! Like most of our other patients, Brooklyn found out about our affordable dental services looking around the web. The day and age we live on is fantastic because you can even watch the reviews and testimonials of many other patients around the world, like in our youtube channel where we have over 200 videos of happy patients vouching for us.

 

One of the main reasons why she decided to do her dental work in Cancun was because in USA the same treatment would have cost her well over $5,000 USD. Instead, she saved money by getting a vacation with her gorgeous family and enjoyed the pool, the beach and even went out shopping in Cancun while she was waiting for her job to get done. This is the great advantage of coming here!

 

She left us a couple of messages:

The male doctor was so friendly and very professional! The lady with the short hair is the BEST at numbing.

I absolutely love my teeth and was worried for no reason. Everything worked out perfectly! Thank you all!!

 

She’s talking about Doctor Wilmer Travieso and Doctor Yadira Badillo! Doctor Yadira is in fact a patient favorite thanks of her kind and charming personality! Each member of the staff try their very best to make sure you have a pleasant dental experience! In fact, Brooklyn had a small issue with her veneers, but it was rectified right away. Remember, we have warranty in all our dental pieces and will replace them for you at our clinic.

Sinus lift and Dental Implants in Cancun

One of the most common ways our patients contact us is by sending us their mouth photos, showing the decay or missing teeth and asking us if they are candidates for dental implants. Our doctor can give you a pre-evaluation depending on what they see, and it helps a lot when patients send us panoramic x-rays to start looking at the options available. In the end, we must remind all our patients that a clinical evaluation needs to be performed on site by our doctors to confirm the treatment plan. This is important because there might be one or two complications the photos or x-rays didn’t show at first glance. On the case of patients with missing teeth or advanced age, there is one particular problem that can happen and its the need of a sinus lift.

 

What is a sinus lift?

A sinus lift is a procedure where the doctor fills up part of the cavity under the sinus membrane with bone material to reinforce the are for the placing of dental implants. This happens because when there is no stimulation in the bone it loses density on a process called bone resorption. It starts “eroding” and expanding the sinus area. Implants should not be placed in an area that is trespassing the bone all the way to the sinus. For this reason, a sinus lift might be necessary. The doctor will make an incision to get to the sinus membrane, lift it a little like a blanket and fill the space with bone material that will fuse with the rest of the bone around it and allow the dental implant to be set. There are several factors that can exacerbate the expansion of the sinus area, like age and osteoporosis.

Affordable root canal and crown in Cancun

 

Hello everyone! This time we will talk about our dear patient Pierre who came from Montreal to Cancun so he could get some root canal and crowns done. The main reasons he decided to fly all the way from Canada was because he wanted a nice vacation and he also wanted to save on his dental care. Dental care in Canada is very expensive and he got quotes for root canals at $1000 USD, crowns at $1200, and crowns for implants at $1900!

 

Here at our dental clinic in Cancun we offer affordable dentistry for about half that price. Make sure to look for our base price lists here to compare. Very few other practices will show their costs publicly on their pages, but we want to make sure you are aware of ours. If you have any questions you can talk with our dental planners through the helpful webchat or even call them at our toll free number during working hours. They will be happy to assist you and give you all the details you want.
Pierre told us he was convinced by the quality and price of our dental work. The videos in Youtube also helped and he end up making an appointment after a week of thinking it over.
He also left us this nice message:

In Canada before I had insurance I would avoid other dentists. They were that expensive.

The experience here was very pleasing, excellent service during and after treatments, prices are very attractive.

Dr. Yadira Badillo and Dr. Cesar were very professional and attentive.

Thank you to all the staff. I really appreciate your service and company. If any of you come to Canada-Montreal let me know!

This is a common thing at our practice. People come as patients and leave as friends! Some of them even come by to say hi on their next vacation even if they didn’t need any dental work done. We look forward to make a long lasting friendship with you to keep you smiling!
