Dental Care in Los Algodones | Dental Tourism Mexico

1) How to Find a Dentist?

Before planning your trip to Los Algodones, it would be wise to find the right dentist for your dental needs.

To find a dentist, consider the following points:

Specialty

Can your dental work be performed by a general dentist or do you need a specialist? It is important to check on the dentist’s credentials and experience to make sure you are in good hands.

Pricing

Finding a good price for dental treatment is important, but it is not everything. Don’t base your decision solely on price, because choosing the cheapest treatment might end up costing you thousands of dollars more later. Remember, no matter which dentist you choose in Los Algodones, you will likely save 50%-70% over prices in the US and Canada. If you find a dentist or dental clinic that you love, don’t pass them by for a less expensive dental clinic because of a few hundred dollars.

Much like a pair of pants, it doesn’t matter how cheap they are…if they don’t fit…it’s not a good deal.

The price for your dental care is predicated on many cost variables. Costs depend on the type of materials used, the expertise of the dentist, the cost of the dental laboratory, the location of the dental clinic, the equipment they have and extra services they provide such as conscious sedation, patient transportation from the clinic to your hotel, etc. Take some time to learn as much as you can about the dental clinic of your choice and the dentist who is performing dental work for you.

Personality

Dental clinics are built around a concept; therefore many clinics have a personality of their own. Some dental offices offer the perfect environment for relaxation while getting your dental treatment done; others specialize in fast dental work by using the most technological equipment, many others use techniques as hypnotism for sedation, etc. Find a clinic that suits your needs to ensure that you will have a great dental experience.

Availability

Make sure the dentist is available for you not only to perform your dental work but to have the time to speak with you and pay attention to your case. You should be able to get in contact with your dentist within 24-48 hours. It’s important to understand that good dentists are often very busy and may not be able to take your call immediately. However, if the dentist is too busy to speak with you within 1-2 days, he may be too busy to provide you with good care. Please use your time with the dentist to discuss any other concerns you might have.

2) Traveling to Los Algodones

Los Algodones is located 7 miles south of Yuma, Arizona off Interstate 8, but you will be crossing the border at Andrade, California in order to access this small Mexican town located in the state of Baja California. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., travelers can cross the Andrade border station either on foot or in their car, and parking lots are available for a low fee from Native American tribe members who own lots in the area.

3) Should I Book a Hotel or a B&B?

Once you know your landing and departure time, you are ready to book a place to stay. Depending on your needs, you can choose to stay in a hotel or a bed & breakfast.

Why a B&B?

If you are looking for a place where you can feel more at home, in a peaceful, more personal atmosphere, a bed & breakfast might be your first choice. B&B’s are usually cheaper than hotels and they offer personal attention, home-cooked breakfasts and the possibility of meeting other guests.

Why a hotel?

Hotels usually have 24-hour front desk staff and late night room service. This is very important if you arrive or depart Los Algodones at late hours. Most hotels have phone service in every room which is also very useful if you need to communicate with your dentist for any concern. Some hotels offer free or paid transportation to and from the airport as well to other specific destinations. Ask at the front desk about transportation to your dental appointment.

4) Do I need a passport?

As of June 1, 2009, passports and passport cards are the only form of identification that is accepted at the U.S. to Mexico border crossing, but passport cards only allow for travel by ground transportation, so if you’re planning to fly to Mexico and travel up to Algodones, you’ll need to have a full passport.
