Understanding Dental Vacations
A dental vacation, also called dental tourism, means traveling abroad to receive professional dental care while enjoying a destination. Patients often combine treatments such as dental implants, crowns, or cosmetic dentistry with the chance to rest in a beautiful location. At Dentaris, most of our international patients come from the United States and Canada, looking for high-quality dental solutions at competitive prices while recovering in the Mexican Caribbean.

Treatments We Offer at Dentaris
Dental Implants & All-on-4
Implants are one of the most popular treatments for our international patients. We place titanium or zirconia implants from trusted brands, with guided surgery for accuracy. For those needing a full arch restoration, the All-on-4 technique allows us to place four implants that support a fixed bridge, restoring function and aesthetics almost immediately.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Many patients visit us for complete smile restorations. These treatments often combine implants, crowns, bridges, and veneers. Using digital scans and CAD/CAM technology, we design rehabilitations that look natural and feel comfortable, ensuring long-term function and aesthetics.
Veneers and Crowns
We create porcelain and zirconia crowns tailored to each patient’s needs. Our ultra-thin porcelain veneers are ideal for improving shape, alignment, and color, providing a natural and long-lasting result. Every restoration is fabricated with precision for durability and beauty.
Teeth Whitening
For patients looking for cosmetic enhancement, we offer Zoom LED whitening, laser whitening, and supervised take-home kits. Each treatment is adjusted to tooth sensitivity and patient goals, giving brighter smiles in a safe, controlled environment.
Recovering in Cancún: Relaxation and Comfort
After your treatment at Dentaris, recovery is essential — and Cancún offers the perfect environment to heal while enjoying your stay. We always recommend that our patients take time to relax, follow post-operative care, and enjoy light activities.
Best Recovery Activities
- Spas and wellness: enjoy hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, and relaxing massages at local spas such as Gem Spa or the JW Marriott Spa (avoiding facial treatments in the first days).
- Calm beaches: Playa Caracol in Cancún and Playa Norte on Isla Mujeres are perfect for gentle walks and relaxation under the sun.
- Nature escapes: explore the Jardín Botánico in Puerto Morelos or visit a cenote like Verde Lucero for quiet reflection surrounded by nature.
- Gastronomy: we suggest soft, nourishing meals — soups, fish, avocado, smoothies — available at many Cancún restaurants. These foods are gentle during your recovery period.
