Location and How to Get There

 

Fly into Cozumel International Airport (CZM), then take a 10–20 minute taxi to central Cozumel. If you arrive via Cancún International Airport (CUN), ride an ADO bus or shuttle for about 60–75 minutes to Playa del Carmen, take the ferry across to Cozumel for about 35–45 minutes, and then take a short taxi from the pier.

Taxis are the primary on-island option; rideshare coverage is limited. Your booking confirmation includes the clinic’s exact street address and a map pin for easy drop-off.

FAQs

 

What services can I get at Clinica Dental Mendoza?

 

A full range of services is available, including exams and cleanings, fillings, gum therapy, children’s dentistry, extractions, root canals with post/core when needed, crowns and bridges, dentures, dental implants, implant-supported overdentures, full-arch porcelain bridges, orthodontic braces, veneers, and whitening.

 

How do I get to the clinic from the airport or ferry?

 

From Cozumel International Airport (CZM), taxis at arrivals reach central clinics in about 10–20 minutes. If you are flying into Cancún International Airport (CUN), take an ADO bus or shuttle to Playa del Carmen, which takes around 60–75 minutes, then the passenger ferry to Cozumel, which takes 35–45 minutes.

From the Cozumel pier, a short taxi ride gets you to the clinic. Taxis are the most reliable option on the island.

 

What languages does the team speak?

 

English and Spanish are supported throughout the clinic, making it straightforward for US and Canadian patients to communicate and review treatment plans.

 

Which payment types are accepted?

 

Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted. If you plan to use a card, it is smart to notify your bank about international use and check for any daily limits or foreign transaction fees.

 

Do treatments come with a warranty or guarantee?

 

Your Dental Departures quote includes current warranty information for applicable procedures and materials. You will receive the terms in writing, including duration and what is covered.

The clinic stands behind its lab work and will outline any maintenance steps, such as routine hygiene visits, needed to keep coverage valid.

 

How many visits should I plan for common procedures?

 

Cleanings and simple fillings are often one visit. Crowns and veneers typically require 2–3+ days for preparation, try-ins, and final cementing. Root canals generally take 1–3 days depending on infection and whether a crown follows.

Full-arch implant cases involve multiple stages over months. Your plan will show each step so you can align travel.

 

Can the clinic coordinate with my dentist at home?

 

Yes. Upon request, the team can share x-rays, photos, and notes so your home dentist understands what was done and any recommended follow-ups. This helps continuity of care after you return.

I got 4 crowns. My dentist in America was going to charge me $6000. In Mexico, I got the crowns for less than $2000. And the quality was outstanding. In fact, when I returned to my regular dentist, she thought that the crowns were my original teeth! She used words like "beautiful" and even asked for the dentist's phone number in Mexico so that she could recommend him to her clients.
