Modern facilities. Clinics use FDA-approved grafting materials, follow COFEPRIS regulations, and may have ISO accreditation. Equipment brands often match those used in the US. Different regulatory standards. COFEPRIS standards differ from FDA oversight, but top clinics meet international safety standards and use FDA-cleared materials.

We are very satisfied with the quality of work, the professionalism of Dr
This time we contacted the dental center of Mexico Dentavida to Dr. Alberto Guvera. We are very satisfied with the quality of work, the professionalism of Dr. Alberto. But in the case of my husband, a medical mistake was made in Turkish dentistry when installing crowns, which we will try to solve in the near future. Then we will share the results.
About Bookimed service
Thanks to the Bookimed consultants for their excellent work in providing timely assistance in finding the right clinic in any region of the world. In our case, our family is collaborating for the second time on the problem of dental treatment, the installation of zirconium crowns (autumn 2022, February 2023). I like the individual approach, quick response and understanding of the situation. They are selected qualitatively. not only clinics, but also doctors.
