Save yourself up to 70% on cosmetic dentistry in Mexico
 I found the perfect dentist and saved a fortune. Thank you RevaHealth.com Mexican Dentistry
Dentists in Mexico can equal the best available across the world. The Asociación Dental Mexicana has over 50 years experience regulating its members and encourages continuing education and high ethical standards. Many Mexican dentists will also belong to the American Dental Association, benefiting from its training programs and keeping up to date with the latest in dental technologies.
Our three most popular dental clinics are:
Benefits of Travelling to Mexico
Perhaps the most obvious benefits of Mexico as a dental destination for Americans is its proximity and its low costs. A short car journey can put Califorians in the middle of one of the highest densities of dental clinics in the world.
Too much choice can be confusing, and with irregular federal oversight you need to know what to look for. Good dentists regularly attend courses to update their skills. Joining dental associations, whether Mexican or American is a good indication that a dentist is dedicated to their continuing professional development. Check the staff sections of clinics to see the academic work and practical training the dentists have completed.
Lower labour costs and cheaper office space allow Mexico's dentists to offer comparable treatments to their U.S neighbours at a very competitive cost. Our most popular destination in Mexico is currently Tijuana

Dentists in Mexico - Additional Information
Organizations
All dentists must posses a certificate of graduation from a licenced educational institution.The title of dentist is confered at a federal level allowing free movement of dentists through the country.
The Asociación Dental Mexicana was established in 1942. The Consejo de Certificación de la Asociación Dental Mexicana registers Mexican dentists and the Asociación is more broadly responsible for the ethical and educational development of dentistry in Mexico. Certification with the ADM is not manditory.
Dental Ethics
Members of the ADM are bound by its code of ethics that stipulates the duties of dental surgeons. In common with the U.S and E.U these clarify the duty of a dentist to do no harm, look after the ongoing health of the patient, guard the confidentiality of client information and pass that information on to another dentist at the request of the patient.
Complaints
Ethical and procedural complaints can be passed to the ADM if the performing dentist is a member. Recourse through the courts is difficult and time consuming.
Continuing education
The ADM believes in the principle of continuous education for dentists. There is a process of recertification every 5 years which involves an examination of dental skills: all ADM members should have a copy of their certification valid for the current period.
Data Protection
There is data protection legislation in place in Mexico with specific categories for medical records. The ethical responsibilities of dental surgeons for the management of records include additional duties (see the dental ethics section above).

Reviews: Gelencser Dental - Hungary
I was surprised to discover that Lake Balaton, Heviz is a mainly German speaking area, as I was carrying a translation list in Hungarian. My landlady did not speak English at all! The people were very nice, & treatment was satisfactory. I had three implants done altogether, and plan to go back in Feb. 2008 for the crowns. I was surprised to find I could have paid my bill in UK £ as I had been advised to bring Euros. Most shops preferred Forints!

One-Price for Porcelain over Metal Crowns including x-rays, temporaries, and build-ups if necessary. Because porcelain crowns cover your entire tooth, they often provide good solutions for severe problems i.e. a bad fracture, a large filling, a tooth that has had root canal treatment, and in situations where one or several teeth are missing. When teeth cannot be saved, dental implants and bridges are a great option to replace missing teeth.As with other techniques, crowns can correct a wide range of problems. They are durable and strong, so replacements are needed less often. The difference between crowns and laminates (or porcelain inlays) is that more tooth structure is removed. This is required to allow adequate space for the restorative material to have appropriate strength, esthetics… and healthy gum contour. The types of crowns that are commonly used are:1.Porcelain fused to metal quality. 2.Porcelain jacket crown 3.100% Porcelain and Art Glass.Porcelain

(for a bi-lateral) Val Plast or Teflon both w/o metal parts): (Depending on # of units) $800 - $1,500 (bi-lateral) A partial denture is a removable dental appliance supported by your natural teeth. It may be required where there are one or more missing teeth. Many options are available and often a partial denture is prescribed. A crown or bridge may be the preferred treatment and the Dentist will advise you on the best treatment for you. Partials can be uni-lateral or bi-lateral. They can be made traditionally with metal base, or with acrylic teeth and metal wires. They newest procedure is the Val Plast or Teflon which has the quality of being elastic and adjustable without the involvement of any metal parts. These are more aesthetically pleasing and of benefit to patients who resist having metal in their mouths.

Tooth color matching resin fillings of cavities are up to $100. regardless of which tooth or the number of surfaces.
Filling - White Fillings
Price on Request
Show Details
We use the latest technology for our cavity fillings. This "White filling" is technically called a Composite Resin. You may have heard of it as Bonding. Composites are made up of a quartz resin and usually contain a light sensitive agent. These light cured composites are extremely cosmetic and most often bonded into place. They can be used in both the front of the mouth as well as in your back teeth. In order to bond a filling material to your tooth it is first necessary to remove the decay, prepare the tooth and then to condition the enamel and dentin. Once conditioned, a thin resin is applied which bonds to the etched surface. The bond strength of these fillings is incredible. Bonding increases the strength of these restorations far beyond those of only a short time ago.
Implants

If you are missing a tooth but you are in good general health, with healthy gums and a jawbone that can support an implant, implant treatment may be an option for you. (However, keep in mind that in many cases, third molars called "wisdom teeth" do not require replacement.)Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.Health is more a factor than is your age. For example, chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or leukemia, may interfere with healing after surgery.And if you use tobacco, you are at greater risk of experiencing gum disease, which can weaken the bone and tissues needed to support the implant.Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

An inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the cusp tips of the tooth. They are custom-made to fit the prepared cavity and are then cemented into place. An onlay is a more extensive reconstruction that covers one or more cusps of a tooth. Onlays are indicated in situations where a substantial reconstruction is required. However, more of the tooth structure can be conserved compared to the placement of a crown

Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment, or spacing and chips or cracks. Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what’s been available in the past.
The position of the affected teeth, and conditions of surounding teeth has a bearing on the complexity of the procedure.

We use the Zoom laser whitening process. It’s the Wolrds #1 latest and most advanced whitening process available (Discus dental). This method treats individuals who want immediate results (without the trouble of home bleaching) In some cases, resistant tooth discoloration can only be corrected using a combination of the In-Office and At-Home bleaching techniques, to effectively whiten teeth. Patients usually see a dramatic shade improvement in less than 60 minutes and generally 60% of the tooth sensitivity that is sometimes associated with the at-home tooth bleaching is decreased. The quick, comfortable and effective method is also the safest, because of new advanced laser light system that is used. Our price is up to $400usd.Non Zoom Laser whitening is also available for: $250 (Takes 1 hour)
