How to choose the right dentist in Mexico?                                                     

Dr. Luis Cantu

Choosing the right periodontist, orthodontist or dentist in a Mexican Border town can be tricky. It is not news to know that you can get more affordable dental work across the border from the United States for as low as 30%-40% of what you would pay in the states. Finding the right dentist in Acuña, implantologists for you can be over whelming since most border towns are full of dental offices once you cross the border.
Many of them are located just one block from the international bridge for your convenience, but the question is, do they have the experience and qualifications you expect? It is safe to say that if you are just looking for a simple tooth extraction. For something as simple and as common as a tooth extraction you are probably in good hands where ever you choose to go.
If you require a full mouth restoration, dental implants or bone grafting then you need a specialists that works with high quality materials and has developed a technique that only with years of experience you can get. This is why we highly recommend and represent Dr Luis A. Cantu a D.D.S from Acuña Coahuila, Mexico just across the border from Del Rio, Texas. He is a certified cosmetic dental surgeon who specializes in periodontics procedures such as:
  • Aesthetic Period-ontology in Mexico
  • Bone Grafting in Mexico
  • Cavity Fillings in  Mexico
  • Dentures Mexico ( Removable or Permanent )
  • Gum Disease Mexico
  • Gingival Smile Mexico
  • Porcelain Crowns in Mexico – Veneers in Mexico (bio-glass)
  • Root Canal in Mexico
  • Teeth Whitening in Mexico
What cities are closer to Acuña and Del Rio, Texas?
Acuña is a charming little town with a population of about 130,000 people, it is just a two and a half hours drive west of San Antonio, Texas and about a six hour drive from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Dr. Cantu has treated many patients from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and many other U.S. cities or countries like Canada, who also take advantage of the low prices in dentistry when they come on a fishing trip to Amistad Lake. Yes, we have a beautiful and huge lake in between Del Rio and Acuña. This lake attracts lots of bass anglers from the north as far as Canada and Michigan, who escape from their low temperatures and travel south of the border to enjoy their favorite sport and some get dental care while in the border.
Many dentists in  border towns like to show off their prices using popular slogans such as “ for as low as $250 usd get a porcelain crown”…. but do you really think is authentic porcelain? One of the things I was very impressed with when researching Dr. Cantu, was the fact that he took the time to take us on a tour of the lab and to allow us to see first hand how they make a porcelain crown plus the original lab work cost. Believe me when I tell you that the cost is over $200 dollars for the doctor, making it impossible to believe other dentist who offer them at a cheaper cost. It only means it is not authentic and will last much less if at all. Graduated from the University of Nuevo Leon and with 40 years experience, Dr. Cantu has develop a technique that has all of his patients coming back. So if your looking for a border town with excellent cosmetic dentistry, come to Acuña. Whether you are from Laredo, Brownsville, Houston, San Antonio or San Angelo think of Del Rio´sister city just across the river.
Is it safe to come to Acuña for dental work?
Of course it’s safe. My family and I cross just about every day without any problems. If your coming for medical reasons, or if you want to go bar hopping, well that´s a different story. I suggest you park your vehicle on the American side. There is a parking place with a taxi service for your convenience or just let us know and we can come pick you up if it makes you feel safer.
How much does dental work cost with Dr. Cantu?
Well keep in mind that you are getting top quality service and materials that will last you a long time and not to mention a very ethical and modest dental surgeon. Prices are a rough estimate, after all he has the last word and decides how to much to charge you if you need lots of work done ( he takes it easy on you if needed).
