We had rented a place that would house us and our daughter and her husband, but he had a detached retina and could not fly. So my wife and I started to brainstorm about some things we could do with over two weeks in Merida. It was about that time that my dentist told me that I would be needing to replace a 3 tooth bridge and a crown. He also said that I needed to have three root canals as part of those procedures. His staff gave me some estimates that came in around $3,600 – 3,800 for all the work! Since I was looking at a bunch of sites to get information on what to do in Merida, there was a long article on Merida Dentists. I wrote to two and got a response from one, a Dr. Diana Navarro. She responded in great english and gave me estimates for the bridge, crown and root canals. The estimate was exactly what I ended up paying, $900 for the dental work and $400 for the three root canals. Needless to say by doing the dental work there we virtually paid for the vacation! I told my dentist about the cost of the work and he said that he could not buy the bridge and crown (only) for that price in the US! My wife and I spent 17 days in Mexico Christmas of 2010.

Can anyone help with a dentist/orthodontist who uses the "Damon System". My research so far shows a number of offices in Cancun specifically and general ortho service in Merida but no one promoting it directly. Email responses have been hit or miss. Great responses.

I took the reference on this website and I need to say I was very impress with Dr DIANA NAVARRO's work, profesionnalism and availibility. The office is clean, nice and her receptionnist is very nice. She responds very quickly to any questions, informations or worries I might have. She will also give her clients good price and guarantees her work. Dentists in Merida are far most the best for a better price and a good quality of work.

However, there are probably many good dentists in Cancun as well... the Yucatan has great dental schools. You might try checking with some of the Cancun-based forums and asking around there.
