How Good Are the Dentists in Los Algodones, Mexico?
Finding an experienced and trustworthy dentist in Los Algodones, Mexico can be a challenge. There are so many dentists working there that it’s earned the nickname “Molar City.”
Obviously, this is a boon for consumers looking for a cheaper alternative to dentists in the United States, but some people raise a legitimate question about quality: Just how good are the dentists working in Molar City? How do they compare to dental professionals in the United States or Canada?
As the owner of the Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Center, I obviously have a vested interest in the town where I work, but I’d like to discuss the qualifications of the dentists in the area. This will give you a good idea of what to expect if you come to the border for dental work.
How Many Dentists Are in Los Algodones?
According to a 2023 report from France 24, there are over 600 dentists working on the four main streets of Molar City.
That is a lot of dental professionals in one place just across the border from Arizona. Yet the demand for affordable dentistry through medical tourism makes sense given how expensive some dental procedures are.
Are These Dentists Qualified and Accredited?
The majority of dentists working in Los Algodones are experienced, properly credentialed, and do exceptional work. In fact, many of my colleagues trained to become dentists in the United States and abroad. We also take continuing education courses from U.S. companies and programs, and some of us even have memberships in U.S. dentistry associations and international dental organizations.
As with the dentists in any city, the quality of their work can vary, but you can rest assured that the dentists on the main streets of Los Algodones where other dental tourists go are reputable.
Will I Be Safe Seeing a Dentist in Los Algodones?
