Mexico is one of the world's top destinations for dental tourism, with thousands of North Americans undergoing treatments here every day, saving up to 75% compared to prices back home.
While the country's border towns prove most popular for in-bound patients (who can simply drive in from the States), Mexico City offers much more in terms of things to see and do while on a dental vacation.
As well as hundreds of fully licensed, experienced dentists in Mexico City, the sprawling capital boasts a long list of fascinating cultural and historical attractions; it's home to arguably the best nightlife and dining scene in the country, as well as countless shopping options. Visitors can also escape the city for the day and visit the nearby Teotihuacán UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Aztec Pyramid of Tenayuca or Grutas de Cacahuamilpa National Park.
Below, we turn the focus to the top clinics in Mexico City for a range of dental treatments. These have received the highest ratings from our past patients—and you can read hundreds of these reviews by clicking through to each listing page on our site.
