Call centers employees claiming to be actual doctors
Treatment plans prescribed by non-doctors

UNDERSTAND THE DETAILS

Technology is reshaping the dental field but not all clinics are keeping up. It’s hard to know if a dentist is using the latest technology available to ensure the best possible outcome for his/her patients. It is especially hard when coming from abroad. All doctors working with SOTA Dental are passionate about being at the forefront of technology with microscopes, 3D scanners, lasers, & in-house labs. We specialize in complex cases.

Microscopic dentistry is one of the most exciting technologies advancing dental these days. While all specialties within dental can benefit from the use of microscopes, endodontists are one of the primary beneficiaries of this new technology. Failed root canal treatments are often the result of negligence by undertrained dentists. Small amounts of bacteria are sometimes accidently left within the canal of a tooth during these procedures that leads to future infections & costly retreatments. Properly examining a tooth with a microscope enables detailed surgical precision and higher success rates in our cases.

Overseeing the doctors at SOTA Dental in Mexico is Dr. Gilberto Galvez. He is an internationally renowned endodontist who has a passion for this niche within dentistry (see his popular Instagram page). His advanced microscope training & surgical process is shared and vetted with a collaborative of microscopic dental specialists working together with SOTA Dental. He oversees collaborative cases and evaluates each dentist or specialist quarterly to make sure they are maintaining SOTA Dental standards.

Before being seen by a SOTA Dental specialist, you can speak with your doctor to ensure that you are fully prepared. We have specialists on our team working at several dental clinics throughout Mexico and pride ourselves in having the absolute brightest minds innovating on an international level within their dental field. We guarantee that you will be seen by a dental specialist who is not only skilled, but also passionate about their work.

Dental Implants in Mexico

Dental implants are the most commonly performed procedure at SOTA Dental. This is the best way to restore aesthetics and functionality to your mouth. Using 3D computer scanning & state-of-the-art tools, SOTA Dental’s surgeons have performed hundreds of dental implant surgeries with the highest level of precision. Unlike some other clinics in Mexico, we only use the FDA approved top brands in dental implants such as Straumann, Nobel, & NEODENT.

Timeline for Dental Implants in Cancun

Dental implant procedures at SOTA Dental usually require 2 trips or “phases”.

The 1st phase is the surgical phase in which the dental implant is set into the bone. This phase takes anywhere from 30 minutes for simple cases to a few hours for complex cases.

The 2nd phase is performed generally after 6 months of tissue healing. During the 2nd phase, the abutment & dental crown are placed. In some cases, we can perform both procedures on the same trip.

I was on holiday and needed an emergency re-root canal. The staff at State of the Art Dental made arrangements for me to be seen as soon as possible, did a comprehensive evaluation with options and pricing. I chose to have the re-root canal done that day and spent 5 hours in state of the art surroundings, bing-watching netflix while my root canal was re-done. That was on a Friday and they had my crown ready by Monday morning. It was a higher quality service and crown than I received in the USA and at a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend this group and hope to be back.read more

I've been to different dental clinics in the United States before but nothing beats the guys at Sota Dental. This time I got my wisdom tooth removed and my friend referred this clinic to me. The appointment process was easy; they have great customer service that really attains to what I needed. The location is very accessible; my hotel is not so far from the clinic's location and I got there without hassle because they actually provided transportation service, which is very amazing. I was also amazed with their state-of-the-art equipment, some of it I did not see in any other clinic. Because they have this new hi-tech equipment, the tooth extraction I had was painless and super quick. The clinic is very hygienic and they really provided good service because when I got there, they immediately accommodated me. The staff are very friendly and professional as well. Dr. Galvez attended me. He is very nice and doesn’t make me feel awkward. He works very gently and precisely I really could tell he knows everything he is doing. He speaks very good English and was very conversational. Before we started the procedure, we talked for while about how I am doing, do I have allergies, do I have hypertension, we also talked about my hobbies and work. I normally get anxious when I go to clinics, maybe because I got this stereotype that doctors do not care about how you feel as long as they get the job done, but not Dr. Galvez. At first I was nervous with the procedure because I’ve heard from some of friends that the extraction is painful but he assured me that it painless. After the procedure, he discussed about the healing process and the do's and don'ts as well as the treatments that are on my budget. He is very professional without the awkwardness. I highly recommend this clinic. Professional people + state-of-the-art equipment + great customer service. I will certainly be a lifetime customer with these guys. Especially when you can relax on the beach in Cancun. That’s a plus.read more

I was feeling a lot of pain in my mouth because of my infected tooth but do not have health insurance that covers dental. A friend of mine told me to go to Mexico and seek dental care there and I gave it a shot since the cost is significantly cheaper and I can also afford the plane ticket. I was due for a vacation anyway, so I thought I would try an examination first, and if it felt right, I would have my infection taken care of there. I contacted Sota Dental and their secretary explained to what the plan will be before I went to Cancun. After speaking with her, I felt a lot more confident that I was actually going to take care of it and possibly some other problems I have with my teeth. I was amazed by their service. They picked me up from the airport and I went straight to the clinic. When I entered their clinic, it was super clean and I had no problems communicating with their staff since all spoke very good English. I did not have to wait since they had enough doctors to accommodate all of their patients and they even offered me water and showed me how to get food before my procedure (since you can’t eat right after). I told the dentist, Dr. Galvez, about my problems and I can say he listened to me intently. Unlike the dentists I encountered in the US who seemed less than unenthusiastic about having me as a patient, Dr. Galvez looked eager to give me the best service. He offered me options and what it would cost me and he suggested I get a root canal to fix my infection. I was expecting the operation to be like hell, but Dr. Galvez and his assistants made it easy for a first timer like me. It was a faster operation than I expected and it was almost pain-free. The needle for pain numbing was probably the most painful part and it was just a small pinch. Dr. Galvez is so smooth, too! That is a big plus. I never felt like I was having my mouth ripped open or anything. I actually felt like I was being too lazy for him because my mouth sometimes shuts when it gets tired at the dentist, but he never seemed to mind. If ever I encounter other problems, I would definitely go back and I will recommend Sota Dental to all of my friends who can’t afford the dental care here in the US.read more

I live in the United Stated and I have had some trouble with how expensive dental care is. I needed 2 of my wisdom teeth removed because my upper and lower row of teeth had no more space for the wisdom teeth to grow in. Dental care is so expensive though that I could not even afford to have 1 removed through surgery. It has been a few months since I have been feeling pain in my mouth due to this and decided to look for a more affordable option. I simply couldn't stand the pain that I was experiencing anymore. A friend of mine had visited Sota Dental in Cancun, telling me that they offer much cheaper but quality dental care. The clinic there was clean and had some really nice equipment. The staff was very helpful and spoke English well, I also did not need to wait long for me to be entertained. The dentist that attended to me was Dr. Galvez. He was very professional and explained everything to me very clearly. He even offered me choices for all of those things that he could do and how it would affect me and my budget. He was really easy to talk to since he spoke English fluently and I felt very comfortable letting him oversee my procudure. I was seen by 3 doctors in total. The procedure was not painful at all and he gave me clear instructions on what I should be doing while recovery period. I am happy to have found this awesome clinic. It was so easy to coordinate with them and get an appointment. They were really so welcoming and they made the whole process so easy. They even gave me a ride to and from where I was staying. I will totally recommend this clinic to my family and friends and will be sure to come back if I need any other dental services. I'm so glad that I was finally able to have my wisdom teeth removed.read more

I live in California and planned my trip to Mexico to specifically get a couple of dental implants. Usually I would go to Tijuana but I had never been to Cancun before and was looking for a vacation as well. Having figured out how much it would cost me to do it here, I decided to search for other places that could do the same thing I was looking that won’t cost a fortune. I was already familiar with getting work done in Mexico so I just researched online. Fortunately after reading a bunch of reviews and researching about different clinics, I stumbled upon Dr. Galvez. I first sent an email to their office and received a prompt and detailed reply about my queries with everything, from traveling to the clinic, what they offer, and the whole process. This was very helpful and made the trip very easy. I had my appointment on the same day that I arrived. So, on the day of my appointment, I went to the Sota Dental Clinic and the first few things I noticed were how friendly the staff were. Everyone speaks English around the clinic which surprised me. The clinic itself was clean and well-maintained. I didn’t have a problem finding it by myself and with the help of Google Maps. Some people said Cancun is tricky in the downtown area, but I didn’t think so. But for those who will be staying the night or a couple days, the staff told me that they also offer pick up from the hotel you are staying at to the clinic which is a major bonus. The doctor who did my implants was recommended to me by Dr. Galvez and he discussed to me various options that matched my budget. He was very professional and patiently explained to me everything regarding the procedure that I wanted to do. The whole process was pain-free and might I say that they did a really good job with my teeth. It has been a few months now and everything feels great. I was worried that it would hurt so much but thankfully it didn’t. Overall, I’m very pleased with the result and knowing that I only paid a fraction of the price if I were to have it done here. California is expensive!read more

Dr. Galvez always greets with a friendly smile and takes an interest in your life outside of the office. He takes his professionalism seriously and will provide you his best recommendations. With any procedure you take on, his goal is to make it as comfortable and painless as possible. He takes pride in what he does. Most recently we have been watching a tooth of mine with suspicion of trauma causing a growing infection. He did some tests along with x-rays to confirm that the tooth is "dead" and would strongly recommend a root canal. This would be my first major dental procedure and I was a bit afraid but the staff reminded me that Root Canals are his specialty. So I was able to quickly set an appointment a few days later with them accommodating my busy schedule. The day came and my procedure ended with a breeze. My favorite part about it was that he took my pain seriously, stopping immediately to provide me with more numbing as necessary. Funny thing, I didn’t understand why people cringe when I tell them I had a root canal done earlier that same day. I had a pleasant experience, I can't imagine trusting any place else but here. I’m here again, as they took some images of my recently root canal tooth and waiting for my crown. Again, I want to thank your friendly staff for accommodating my needs and always taking good care of me.read more

Dr. Gilberto was so very kind, gentle, professional but most of all knowledgeable! I highly recommend considering a dental vacation with this group! So much cheaper than the US! In most cases 1/4th the price even with insurance! I cannot say enough about how great they are!

Sin duda alguna el mejor especialista, es muy profesional y trata a sus pacientes de lo mejor, en particular a mi me ayudó mucho ya que una doctora me practico antes una endondoncia pero esta no fue realizada bien ya que después de unos días me salió un absceso, así dure casi tres semanas ya que la doctora siempre decía que era acumulación de gases y nunca sé dió a la tarea de volver a revisarme, mi cara ya empezaba a hincharse y tomaba antibióticos muy fuertes que ella me recetaba y que me calmaban el dolor por unas cuantas horas; hasta que un día le platique a mi prima lo que me pasaba ella me explicó que la doctora me había dejado un nervio y que se debía buscar para que desapareciera el malestar por qué si no se me podía complicar todo, lamentablemente mi prima se encuentra en Veracruz por eso no me podía ayudar, pero sin embargo me recomendó un verdadero especialista y gracias a Dios fue al Dr.Gilberto Gálvez él encontró el nervio que me habían dejado, por eso lo recomiendo al 100% por q él no deja a sus pacientes y siempre está al cuidado de ellos.read more

This is the best dental we know of in all our travels! We are RVer’s who learned about dental tourism while on the road in Tijuana. When a dental emergency struck, we happened to be on the other side of the country. I flew to Cancun rather than Tijuana because of the price. It was kind of like a vacation too since…well…it’s Cancun. After getting the best specialist care I ever received in my life for about 1/3 of the US prices, I’ve ended up going down there 3 times over the years for different work. My wife and I both have stopped going in the US totally because of the dentists we’ve found.I had 4 root canals and multiple crowns down on my first trip. (Quoted $8000USD in Pennsylvania, paid $1800USD in Cancun) I had 2 root canals on another trip (unrelated to the 1st) as well as fixed a broken tooth. My wife has had similar work done. Everything done at Sota Dental in Cancun is the nicest feeling work I have had done in my mouth. You know how sometimes when a dentist puts a crown on…it just doesn’t feel right. Everything done there just “felt” right. You really just have the feeling that they know what they are doing and really CARE that you feel perfect. They aren’t rushing you like some other dental tourism places. We have tried others in Cancun…but keep going back here because of the professionalism.Don’t underestimate the use of microscopes for dental work either. Check out Instagram where the best dentist in the world show their work and you can find all kinds of great dentists anywhere you go. All the younger dentists seem to be using a lot of new equipment these days. We get our teeth fixed in other countries sometimes (Spain, Mexico, Japan), and by using Instagram & Facebook, we’ve been able to see who is actually GOOD at their work. The best dentists show their work. That’s how we found Dr. Gilberto Galvez in Cancun & Sota Dental. He was posting a ton of great work and it was being discussed deeply by other dentists around the world. I think it’s great that these young (30’s, 40’s) dentists want to become better by discussing their cases and growing. That means they have passion…and hopefully CARE about my teeth when they work on them.read more

In the 56 yrs. that I have been having dental work done, I have rarely been so impressed as I was with the work done by Dr. Galvez! Usually "root canal" to a patient means a lot of pain, multiple appointments, torture even and a very expensive endeavor. Myself having to have 4 of them and my husband one ,we can say with confidence, that our experience with getting the root canals done by Dr. Galvez was never more pleasant and each root canal completed with single appointment obturation. He demonstrates superior knowledge and expertise within the scope of endodontics, as well as a high level in diagnosis, evaluation, problem solving, decision making, analysis and treatment. He has a very pleasing chairside manner and communicates with his patients during every step of the procedure, with the keen ability to distill complex procedures and processes into simple language, so you can understand what is going on. He goes to great lengths to make sure that his patients are comfortable, relaxed and without pain. If we ever have other endodontic surgical procedures required, he is definitely our guy! I highly, highly recommend this doctor and he would be well worth a trip to Cancun, Mexico!read more
