About whatdentist

Welcome to whatdentist.com.mx, Mexico's premier independent dental tourism directory. We are dedicated to connecting patients from the United States, Canada, and around the world with verified, high-quality, and affordable dental care in Mexico's top dental destinations, including Los Algodones, Tijuana, and Cancun.

Our mission is simple: to bring transparency, safety, and trust to the dental tourism industry. We understand that deciding to travel abroad for dental work is a major decision that requires thorough research and peace of mind. While the cost savings in Mexico—often up to 70% less than in the US and Canada—are undeniable, finding a trustworthy, licensed, and skilled dentist can be a daunting process.

That is where whatdentist comes in. Unlike other directories that allow any clinic to buy their way to the top of the search results, we employ a rigorous and multi-step verification process for our listed dentists. Our "Verified" badge is not just a marketing gimmick; it is a seal of clinical standards and professional integrity.

Our Rigorous Verification Audit

When we verify a dentist, we perform a comprehensive audit containing the following steps:

• 1. Official Licensing Check: We verify the dentist's official Cédula Profesional (Mexican professional license) and specialist licenses with the Mexican Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) to guarantee they are fully qualified to perform the procedures they advertise.
• 2. Board Certification & Associations: We check and confirm active memberships and certifications with recognized national and international bodies, such as the Asociación Dental Mexicana (ADM), the American Dental Association (ADA), and state licensing boards.
• 3. Clinic Inspection & Sterilization Protocols: We ensure that listed clinics follow strict international standards of sanitation and patient safety, including autoclave sterilization, advanced bio-hazard disposals, and state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging.
• 4. Transparent Pricing Guarantee: We require verified dentists to publish clear, upfront price lists for their most common procedures so that patients never experience hidden fees or unexpected surcharges.
• 5. Patient Review Verification: We screen patient reviews to ensure they represent real, authentic experiences from actual dental patients, weeding out fake testimonials.

By eliminating the middlemen, whatdentist allows you to contact, consult, and book appointments directly with your chosen dentist, entirely commission-free. Our referral advice is entirely free of charge for patients, keeping your transaction straightforward and uninflated.

We are here to help answer your questions and guide you toward a safer, happier, and more affordable smile. If you have any questions, you can contact us at 928-374-4575 or email irma@whatdentist.com.mx. Thank you for choosing whatdentist.com.mx—your trusted partner in dental tourism.
