Is it a good idea to come to Cancun for dental tourism?

 

 

Is it a good idea to come to Cancun for dental tourism? Yes, absolutely! If you love to have a Caribbean vacation, and also a dental procedure this is the place. Don’t lose the opportunity to enjoy your dental implant vacations!  Lately the consulate of the United States has warned tourists about taking their precautions if they travel to Mexico. This is contributing to the overall impact of the image of Cancun, making it look like a dangerous place for everyone. We want to assure you tourists are as safe here as in any other country or vacation spot in USA. In fact, over 300,000 Americans visit Cancun every year without a hitch. We have helped over 5,000 patients from USA with their dental vacation and we can answer any questions you might have about coming here.

 

Cancun is the best city to invest for dental implants and any other dental procedure. We have won awards and recognition for our superior effort and work. Our clinic is located in a popular and very safe mall with security guards and cameras. The downtown of Cancun is very calm and full of restaurants, supermarkets, and more.  You can even travel alone and you will enjoy it anyway, or you can come with someone and have fun together. This city has all-inclusive hotels if you do not want to go out that often but you still want to relax, or you can also stay at a downtown hotel and look for affordable souvenirs there.

 

Did you know that Mexico is also a global reference in dental tourism? Well, Cancun is on the top in Mexico, because here you can save 70% of the money you would spend in US, Europe or Canada, compare the costs of dentistry in Cancun and those of your local dentists. And with the rest of that money you can use it to visit aquatic and ecological parks like Xcaret, Xplor, and Xel-Ha, or to buy souvenirs in Mexican markets, or fancy malls. Mexico is a unique and singular country, and Cancun is a paradise.

Cancun just turned 48 years old! Come to discover this Caribbean paradise!

 

The city of Cancun just turned 48 years old! This beautiful Caribbean paradise has been growing to offer the best vacation experience for all visitors. With a population of almost 800,000 people it surpasses in size US cities like Seattle, Denver and Washington, DC. When the first settlers came to create this tourist spot in the 70’s, two distinctive areas were established: downtown and the Hotel Zone. The Hotel Zone is a thing long strip of a island separating the Nichupte Lagoon and the Caribbean sea, connected to main land by two bridges on each extreme. Here is where you will find most of the night life, entertainment and some of the best high end stores. As it happens, our dental clinic is located just at 5 minutes from the entrance of the hotel zone, in one of the largest shopping malls in the city, Malecon Americas Shopping Mall. The combination of natural beauty, white sand beaches and modernity have made Cancun the crown jewel of tourism in Mexico. Cancun has received 3 million visitors a year, 300,000 which are Americans.

 

Since the beginning, the people of Cancun care a great deal about the ecosystem. We know nature is one of our greatest treasures and the reason why thousands of people come to visit us from around the world. This is why there are plenty of protected areas not far from the city and we focus a great deal on eco-friendly activities. You will find plenty of tour options to go out on a jungle tour with zip lines, ATVs, as well as a plethora of ecological parks like Xel-ha, Xcaret, Xenxes, etc.

 

In Cancun, you will enjoy all the modern services and the only thing you won’t find is a subway as the land in the area is not right for these types of projects. The Peninsula of Yucatan is full of cenotes and underground rivers, covered by wetlands, dense jungle and mangle protecting the coasts from natural erosion.

Finding what to eat in Cancun might seem challenging at first during your first time on your vacation. Dental tourism in Mexico has increased in popularity and also the amount of American and Canadian patients wondering what can they try after their treatment is done.

 

Cancun has a huge huge advantage over many other places in Mexico because, believe it or not, it is the melting pot of Mexico! The city it self only has 40 or so years since it was founded so people from all around the country came here to settle. These settlers also brought with them their favorite foods and recipes… making it very easy to find most of any type of traditional Mexican food. Obviously, the original regional food of the Península of Yucatan is the king in its presence. There are also a huge number of international restaurants and also many American restaurants.

 

Of the things we can suggest about what to eat in Cancun are, of course, tacos. You can never go wrong with tacos. If you want to enjoy a local dish, ask for cochinita pibil… slow roasted and marinated shredded pork in achiote salsa, best eaten with pickled red onions and beans. Word of advice, if you are counting calories, forget about them and just try these. Also, just in general, beware of any salsa. Make this your rule of thumb. Even if they say it’s not spicy, your best bet is to try one, and just ONE drop of a salsa first… this is because this region of Mexico is completely in love with some of the spiciest chiles, called Habanero. Try it first and you should be fine.

 

Some people are worried about what to eat in Cancun because they might believe there are unsanitary concerns, but restaurants here are required to follow hygiene codes. Perhaps the main thing to look out for is the spices and fiber used on these dishes. Local food is incredibly rich in spices and the use of chile permeates most local foods.

As you remember, we moved a few months back from our old location to a larger area within the same shopping mall. We would like to remind everyone the details about where to find our dental clinic in Cancun with this helpful post.

 

 

We are located  in the entrance of Las Americas Shopping Mall, the biggest mall in Cancun. In fact, it consists of two main areas joined together: the high-end “Malecon Americas” and the more casual “Las Americas”.

 

The easiest way to get there is to ask a cab to drop you at the Malecon Americas entrance, they all know this place, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting there. Even then, the first visit to our clinic, you can ask for a pick up at the airport or from our hotel so you get there without a hassle. Once here you will see a stair, an escalator and an elevator to the right. Going up there you will see our clinic’s windows above the bank. The entrance is just by the second set of escalators over there. We have a big molar at the entrance so there’s no way to miss it!

 

If you have rented a car in Cancun, the mall has a parking lot you can access from the Malecon Americas motor lobby that charges by the hour. If the escalators are being given maintenance and are turned off, or if you have mobility issues, there’s also a second elevator right by the exit of the parking lot, close to the accesible parking spaces. Remember, if you have any trouble getting here, you can always get in touch with your dental planner or our reception desk. They will help you with additional directions.

Activities during your vacation in Cancun!

 

People come to Cancun from all around the world looking for a complete smile makeover because of the affordable prices and amazing beaches, but Cancun does not only has beaches where you can relax and have a wonderful time in all inclusive resorts. Here you will also find great golf courses, diving, fishing, adventure tours, parties and many other activities!

 

There are many options available if you want to fish in Cancun. At the docks in Hotel Zone, Puerto Juarez and the Marina you will likely find anything from small skiff-like boats to nice modern yachts. Most of the fishing boats offer either private or shared fishing trips with other tourists and other basic fishing equipment. If you are staying at a resort you should ask at the reception desk for info about this, they usually have a handy list of tour providers. Our dental planners can also help you out to find someone who offers a good fishing tour. Make sure you have a clear idea of what’s included in your fishing trip, how long it will take and what type of fish you are expected to find.

 

Another thing to do during your dental vacation in Cancun is to go on a boat to party and eat in Isla Mujeres. You will find small boats, ideal for family trips or larger ferry-like boats where you can enjoy the “Fiesta” with many other tourists. Some of these tours also include snorkeling. Make sure to ask our dentists if your treatment allows you to do snorkel or diving beforehand (for example, patients with Sinus Lifts should not dive or snorkel). The waters in this area are calm and perfect for novices and people who just want to relax.

If you want to discover more about the culture of this place then The Mayan Museum is the right place for you. The Maya Museum is located on the 16.5 Kilometer of the Kukulcan Boulevard. It was a wonderful collection of ancient Mayan artifacts and other archaeology findings from the region. Here you will also find access to the San Miguelito mayan ruins.

 

 

Also, just down the road from here, you can visit the El Rey archaeological site as well as the “Playa Delfines”, also known as the “El Mirador” (The Lookout) one of the largest and most beautiful beaches of Cancun.

Where to eat in Cancun during your dental vacation?

 

One of the big questions we get when our patients come for a smile makeover is where and what they can eat while they wait for their dental work to get done (crowns, veneers, dental implants, All-on-4 or Snap in Dentures). Luckily for them, Cancun is an international destination that has all kinds of foods from all over world! Depending on the treatment you got done, there might be some restrictions to your diet but overall you should be able

 

Here in the Malecón Americas Shopping where we are located you will find several restaurants like Sirloin Stockade, Hooters, Johnny Rockets, McDonald, Starbucks, for the well known American menus. Comix, is a restaurant chain themed on all sort of media heroes (comics, video games, movies, tv series). There’s also an excellent Sushi place across Comix and right around the corner you can find Cheesters (pastas), La Cantinita and Pozocalli (Mexican food).  The shopping mall obviously also has a foodcourt with Subway, Burger King and several other options.

 

Speaking of food courts,  or something along the lines… there has been a new trend lately in Cancun. Food trucks have become extremely popular in the city, giving us a twist to the usual street food in Cancun. Several food trucks owners have come together on a couple of great spots and established an open area with great music and ambiance.  You will find “The Deck” a few minutes away from the Hotel Zone, right beside Plaza Canaima on Kabah Avenue. The other one is located on Nichupte Avenue, right beside Plaza Infinity. These Food Trucks are usually open for dinner at 7 pm and the place is packed by 9, so make sure to plan ahead if you wish to bring a rental to get a parking spot or come here on a taxi cab.

 

We are sure that there is definitely something you would love in any of these delicious options during your dental vacation in Cancun!  If you want to know more about what our dentists in Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry can do for you call toll free from USA and Canada 1-800-565-1424, or if you are already on vacation in Cancun and want to meet us, you can call us for an appointment at the following local number (998) 1-40-51-25.

A dental implant vacation and relax in Puerto Morelos!

 

Many of our dental implant and smile makeover patients choose Cancun to relax during their recovery. They just got their new teeth (or are waiting for them), so what better way to spend the time than to enjoy what this paradise offers?  While many like to go out to have an adventure tour, snorkel or stay on their all-inclusive hotels in Cancun, many other patients prefer somewhere quiet and relaxing with less people to spend their recovering days. For this reason, Puerto Morelos might the answer they were looking for!

 

 

Located just 20 minutes from Cancun, Puerto Morelos is a small beach town. Starting only as a fishermen’s village its close location to Cancun eventually allowed it to grow on its own accord. Puerto Morelos is very different from Cancun and even Playa del Carmen, the crowning jewel of the Riviera Maya.

 

 

Puerto Morelos still keeps the atmosphere of a small town where one can enjoy life at its own pace. The town square is a favorite place for locals to hang out near the pier and give long walks on the beach. There are several family run hotels and bed and breakfast hostels available close to the beach. Here you will also find fishing and snorkeling tours if you are interested. While you are there make sure to eat their delicious sea food from one of the beach front restaurants like a shrimp ceviche or even fish tacos with chips! This is the perfect opportunity to test your implant dentures or single implant.

 

 

While we will require you to visit our dental clinic in Cancun during your treatment like crowns, All-on-4 and Snap in Dentures it is possible to stay in Puerto Morelos and grab a cab, get a rental or simply ask for a pick up.  Our Dental Planners can coordinate with you and give you all the necessary information to plan your stay and assist you in making the necessary arrangements.
