Molar Miles is a Canadian dental-travel concierge for all of Mexico — Cancun and the Riviera Maya, Los Algodones, Tijuana, Mexico City, Guadalajara. Send us your X-rays and we'll get you three written quotes from vetted clinics within 48 hours — then coordinate your flights, hotel, and airport transfers around the treatment. The clinics pay us a referral fee, so our help costs you nothing extra.
How it works
No cold-calling foreign clinics, no guessing which reviews are real, no spreadsheets. You send records once — we run the process we've already run for ourselves.
Fill in the two-minute intake below and send your recent X-rays or treatment plan from your home dentist. No X-rays yet? We'll tell you exactly what to ask for.
Our vetted clinics in your chosen corner of Mexico review your case and reply with written, itemized quotes — treatment, materials, and what's included — so you compare real numbers, not ads.
Pick your clinic, city, and dates. We line up flights, a hotel near the clinic, and airport transfers timed to your appointments — most treatments fit in 4–7 days.
Treatment days at the clinic, recovery days wherever you've landed — a Caribbean beach, a border-town stroll, a capital-city food crawl. Before you fly home we collect your records and warranty paperwork, and stay your point of contact after.
Savings calculator
Mexico prices below are anchored to real written quotes our Cancun-area partner clinics gave in October 2026, converted at US$1 ≈ CA$1.43, and sit in the same range you'll see quoted in Los Algodones, Tijuana, and Mexico's other dental hubs. Canadian prices are typical published ranges. Travel is a real cost — the calculator subtracts it, so the saving you see is the honest one.
Trip default of CA$1,450 reflects a direct Edmonton–Cancun return (~CA$620) plus a week near the clinic. Solo travellers going for a single small treatment should check the result carefully — travel can eat the saving on small cases, and we'll tell you that before you book.
Based on 2 crowns: ~CA$1,600 each in Canada vs. CA$545 each (US$380) at Aurum Dental, Puerto Morelos — a real written quote, October 2026.
Prices
Mexico figures are starting prices from our partner clinics' written quotes and published rates, October 2026 — the same range quoted across Mexico's dental hubs, from the Riviera Maya to Los Algodones. Your final quote depends on your X-rays — that's exactly why step one is sending them.
| Treatment | Typical in Canada | In Mexico | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zirconia / E.max crown (per tooth) | CA$1,300–1,900 | from CA$545 (US$380) | ~60–70% |
| Implant + crown (per tooth) | CA$4,500–6,000 | CA$1,500–2,200 | ~60% |
| All-on-4 full arch | CA$22,000–30,000+ | CA$9,000–13,000 | ~55–60% |
| Porcelain veneer (per tooth) | CA$1,200–1,800 | from ~CA$550 | ~60% |
| Evaluation with X-rays + 3D scan | often CA$150–250 | CA$115–255 (US$80–180) | comparable |
Two crowns, three real quotes: in October 2026 the same two-crown case was quoted at US$760 all-in by Aurum Dental, and US$980 by both Dental Design Studio and Cancun Dental Design. Same teeth, US$220 apart — comparing written quotes is the whole game.
Destinations
Cancun is where Molar Miles started — it's not where it stops. Mexico has several distinct dental-travel hubs, and the right one depends on where you fly from, how big your case is, and whether you want a beach, a border crossing, or a big city around your appointments. Our vetted partner clinics are live in the Cancun area today; in the other hubs we're building the same vetted network — tell us your city in the intake and we'll run your quotes there.
Quintana Roo · Caribbean coast
Our founding hub. Direct flights from most Canadian cities, resort recovery by the Caribbean, and three partner clinics — in Cancun and Puerto Morelos — that already quote our patients in writing.
Best for: beach-trip treatments, first-timers, bigger cases that pair with a real vacation
Baja California · "Molar City"
The most concentrated dental town on earth — hundreds of clinics within a few walkable blocks by the Arizona border. Many patients fly into Yuma or Phoenix, or drive down for the winter, and walk across.
Best for: implants and full-arch work, snowbirds, US-based travellers
Baja California · San Diego border
A major clinic cluster minutes from San Diego — fly into San Diego and cross, or into Tijuana's own airport. Easy to combine with a Southern California trip, and a short hop for western travellers.
Best for: West Coast travellers, quick in-and-out crown and implant trips
Capital · direct flights from Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal
The capital's large private-hospital and specialist-clinic sector, with the country's deepest bench of specialists — and museums, food, and neighbourhoods to recover in between appointments.
Best for: complex or specialist cases, city-break travellers
Jalisco · Mexico's second city
An established medical-travel city with modern private clinics and lower day-to-day costs than the beach hubs — plus side trips to Tequila and Lake Chapala once the dentist clears you.
Best for: value-focused travellers who want a real Mexican city, not a resort zone
Anywhere with a clinic worth vetting
Merida, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo — if there's a clinic you'd like checked against our seven-point standard, name it in the intake. We'll vet it the same way we vetted our own, and tell you straight if it doesn't pass.
Best for: travellers who already have a city — or a clinic — in mind
Partner clinics
These are our founding partners in the Cancun area — every one quoted a real case in writing in October 2026. Vetted partners in Los Algodones, Tijuana, Mexico City, and Guadalajara join this page as they pass the same seven-point standard below. Molar Miles earns a referral fee from the clinic you choose — the price on your quote is the clinic's price, with nothing added by us.

Why Molar Miles exists
Molar Miles' founder, Samuel, needed two crowns on his front teeth — the teeth he lost years ago. In Canada the bill was going to run into the thousands. So he did what this service now does for you: requested written quotes from Cancun-area clinics, compared them line by line, and booked the trip.
"Three clinics quoted the exact same two crowns. The spread was US$220 — and the cheapest quote came from the clinic with an in-house lab and a perfect review score. Nobody should have to find that out by accident."
Samuel travels as patient zero — filming the costs, the clinic, the procedure, and the result. His full case study, receipts included, will be published here after the trip.
Questions, answered straight
Nothing. Clinics pay us a referral fee (typically 10–20% of the treatment price) for patients we coordinate. Your quote is the clinic's own price — the fee comes out of the clinic's marketing budget, not added on top of your bill. If a clinic ever quotes you less for booking direct, tell us and we'll match the difference in service or walk away from the deal.
It varies — which is the entire reason this service exists. Mexico's dental hubs — Cancun, Los Algodones, Tijuana, and the big cities — have clinics with 3D imaging, in-house labs, and dentists who treat international patients daily, and they also have clinics you should avoid. We only work with clinics that pass the checklist above, quote in writing, and put a named dentist on your case. Materials (zirconia, E.max, implant systems) are the same international brands used in Canada.
Honest answer: cross-border recourse is limited, and any facilitator who promises otherwise is not being straight with you. What protects you in practice: choosing a clinic with a written warranty (our partners provide one), leaving with complete records and materials documentation so any dentist at home can continue your care, and our coordination — we stay in the conversation between you and the clinic. Many patients also keep a relationship with a home dentist for ongoing care.
Crowns and veneers typically fit in 4–7 days (an in-house lab can turn crowns around in about 24 hours). Implants are usually two trips a few months apart — placement first, crown after healing. All-on-4 timelines are set by the clinic after your 3D scan. Your quotes will state the exact schedule before you commit to anything.
Yes — clinics can give a provisional range from photos and your home dentist's treatment plan, and a firm quote after an in-person evaluation with X-rays and a 3D scan (US$80–180 depending on the clinic; one partner drops it to US$80 when you send recent X-rays ahead). The intake form has a "no X-rays yet" option and we'll tell you the cheapest way to get them.
When the treatment is small and the travel eats the saving — one simple filling, for example. Run the calculator above with your real numbers; if the net saving is thin, we'll say so. Dental travel pays off on crowns, implants, veneers, and full-arch work — the bigger the case, the bigger the gap.
You pay the clinic directly for treatment, and airlines/hotels directly for travel (we coordinate the bookings with you). Molar Miles never holds your treatment money.
