Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in one place with one team — from a routine cleaning to rebuilding a whole mouth.

See the treatment →
Orthodontic treatment with braces
Braces & orthodontics

For crowded, gapped or rotated teeth and bites that do not close properly. Metal or ceramic brackets depending on your case.

Professional dental cleaning
Dental cleaning

Brushing at home never reaches the tartar. A professional cleaning removes it, stops decay early and leaves the gums healthy. Every six months.

Teeth whitening treatment
Teeth whitening

A safe, non-invasive way to bring back your natural shade when coffee, wine, tobacco or time have stained it. Done in a single visit.

Porcelain and composite dental veneers
Veneers (zirconia & composite)

Thin shells bonded to the front of the tooth to correct shape, colour or small chips. The fastest cosmetic change there is.

Tooth-coloured composite fillings
Composite fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings that restore decay or fractures. Function comes back and nothing shows that anything was repaired.

Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment

When the nerve gets infected or inflamed we treat the inside of the tooth to stop the pain and keep the tooth instead of pulling it.

Periodontal treatment for gum disease
Gum treatment (periodontics)

For gums that bleed, recede or loosen teeth. It is the foundation everything else is built on, so we treat it first.

Pediatric dentistry and child orthodontics
Pediatric dentistry

Dental care and early orthodontics for children and teens. Catching a bite problem early avoids years of adult treatment.

Fixed dental prosthetics and crowns
Crowns & fixed prosthetics

A permanent replacement for one or more missing teeth. You get your bite back and neighbouring teeth stop drifting.

Removable dentures
Removable dentures

A comfortable, accessible option when several teeth are missing. Fitted to your mouth so you can eat and speak with confidence again.

Dental bridges
Dental bridges

They fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored on the neighbouring ones. Stable, long-lasting and natural-looking.

Tooth extraction and oral surgery
Extractions & oral surgery

When a tooth cannot be saved or puts the rest at risk, we remove it under control and with as little discomfort as possible.

Visiting Playa del Carmen

Getting dental work done while you are here

Plenty of our patients are on holiday or spending the winter in Playa. Here is what that usually looks like.

Everyone here speaks English

Dentists and front desk both. You will hear the diagnosis, the options and the cost in your own language before anything starts.

Planned around your dates

Tell us when you arrive and leave. Cleanings, whitening, fillings, crowns and root canals usually fit into one to three visits in a week.

Receipt your insurer can read

We do not bill foreign insurers directly, but you leave with an itemized receipt and treatment codes for out-of-network reimbursement.

Walk here from downtown

Calle 12 Norte, a few blocks off Quinta Avenida. Easy from Playacar, Puerto Aventuras, Tulum, Cozumel and Cancún too.

Not sure what you need? Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether it can be done within your trip.

Why DentPrax

Ten years on the same corner downtown

Not a chain and not a pop-up. We are the clinic local families come back to — and the one they send their kids to.

Specialists, not one dentist doing everything

Technology that changes the outcome

3D intraoral scanning, digital planning and on-site X-ray. You see your plan on screen before you commit to anything.

Prices in writing, before we start

We tell you what you have, what the options are and what each one costs. No fine print and no pressure to decide on the spot.

Frequently asked

What visitors ask us most

Do you speak English?

Yes. The dentists and the front desk all speak English, so you will hear your diagnosis, your options and your costs in your own language before anything is decided.

Can you finish treatment during my trip?

Most of it, yes. Cleanings, whitening, fillings, crowns, extractions and root canals are usually completed in one to three visits across a week. Tell us your travel dates when you book and we will plan the appointments around them. Orthodontics is the exception — that one follows you home, which is where clear aligners help.

How much does dental work cost in Playa del Carmen?

It depends on what you need, which is why we quote after examining you rather than over the phone. You get the full written price before any treatment begins, with nothing added later. Payment is in Mexican pesos, by cash or card.

Do you take US or Canadian dental insurance?

We do not bill foreign insurers directly, but we give you an itemized receipt with treatment codes that most US and Canadian plans accept for out-of-network reimbursement. Ask for it at checkout and keep it with your claim.

Where exactly is the clinic, and how do I get there?

Calle 12 Norte #230, between Avenida 15 and Avenida 20, Colonia Centro — a few blocks inland from Quinta Avenida and walkable from most downtown hotels. We also see patients from Playacar, Puerto Aventuras, Tulum, Cozumel and Cancún. Open Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 19:00.

Do you see dental emergencies?

Yes, during clinic hours. If you have severe pain, a broken tooth, or a filling or crown that came out, message us on WhatsApp describing what happened and we will give you the first available slot.

What are moons® aligners and why only you?

moons® is a clear-aligner system made to measure from a 3D digital plan. DentPrax is the only authorized provider in the whole state of Quintana Roo, which means the treatment is designed with their technology and supervised here in Playa del Carmen. Read how the treatment works.
