Overview

Why patients choose Cancun

Cancun pairs one of the busiest international airports in Mexico with a large community of English-speaking dentists. Most patients land, check in by the beach and start treatment the next morning, with nonstop flights home from dozens of U.S. and Canadian cities.

Easy to reach
Nonstop flights from most major U.S. and Canadian cities, often under four hours.
Recovery by the beach
Rest between appointments on the Caribbean instead of in a hotel near a highway.
Clinics used to international patients
Teams that work in English every day and coordinate airport pickups and hotels.

Getting there
Cancun International Airport (CUN)
The airport is about 20 minutes from the Hotel Zone and downtown. Many clinics include the airport transfer; if not, book an authorized airport taxi or shuttle rather than accepting offers in the arrivals hall.
Weather
Best time: December to April
Warm all year. The dry season runs from December to April. Hurricane season is June to November, with most storms between August and October, so buy travel insurance if you plan a trip then.
Where to stay
- Hotel Zone. A 14-mile strip of beachfront resorts. Ideal if you want to rest by the water between visits.
- Downtown (El Centro). More affordable hotels and local restaurants, and closer to many of the clinics.

Things to do between appointments

Isla Mujeres
A short ferry ride to a laid-back island with calm, shallow beaches.
Chichén Itzá
Day trip to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, about 2.5 hours away.
Cenotes
Natural limestone pools along the Ruta de los Cenotes, south of the city.
Underwater Museum (MUSA)
Snorkel over hundreds of submerged sculptures, ideally before your surgery.

Staying safe

Stay in the tourist areas, use your clinic’s transfer or authorized taxis, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash.

Before you book, check the current U.S. State Department travel advisory for Quintana Roo.

FAQ

Questions about Cancun

Anything else? Our team answers every message.

How many days do I need in Cancun?

Crowns and veneers usually take 5 to 7 days. Dental implants and All-on-4 normally take two trips: one to place the implants and a second, 3 to 6 months later, for the final teeth. Your clinic confirms the exact plan after reviewing your X-rays.

Can I swim or snorkel after my treatment?

Plan beach days and snorkeling before surgery. After extractions or implants, dentists usually ask you to stay out of the sea and pools for a few days to protect the wounds.

Do I need a passport?

Yes. Travelers flying into Mexico need a valid passport. U.S. and Canadian citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays.
