Location and How to Get There

Most visitors fly directly to Cozumel International Airport (CZM) and take a 10–20 minute taxi to central Cozumel.

If you are arriving via Cancún International Airport (CUN), the common route is a bus or shuttle to Playa del Carmen, which takes about 60–75 minutes, followed by a passenger ferry to Cozumel, which takes around 35–45 minutes. From there, take a short taxi to the clinic area.

Taxis are the primary transport on the island. Rideshare availability may vary by season and time of day. Your booking confirmation includes the exact address and a pinned map, with tips on the best drop-off point.

What to Expect as an International Patient

• Clear written quotes: Step-by-step plans list materials, such as zirconia vs. porcelain, visit counts, and healing windows.
• Time-smart scheduling: Crowns and veneers often require several days for preparation and try-ins. Root canals may take 1–3 days. Implant cases are staged from placement to healing to final teeth.
• Practical guidance: Advisors can help sequence appointments around flight arrivals, ferry times, and island activities.
• Friendly communication: The care team is used to working with travelers and explains technical terms in simple, everyday language.

FAQs

What languages are spoken at the clinic?

The public listing does not specify languages. Because Cozumel welcomes many international visitors, English and Spanish support are common; however, staffing can vary by day. Tell your Dental Departures advisor your preferred languages, and coverage can be confirmed for your exact appointment dates.

Where is the clinic and what are the easiest ways to reach it?

The clinic is on Cozumel island. If you fly into Cozumel International Airport (CZM), taxis outside arrivals typically reach central areas in 10–20 minutes.

If you fly into Cancún International Airport (CUN), take a bus or shuttle to Playa del Carmen, about 60–75 minutes, then the ferry to Cozumel, about 35–45 minutes. From the Cozumel ferry pier, taxis are plentiful. Rideshare options may be limited on the island, so taxis are generally fastest. Your confirmation includes the exact address and a map pin.

What treatments are available?

Available treatments include general and preventive care, exams, professional cleanings, teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, crowns and veneers, bridges, full and partial dentures, extractions, endodontics, and dental implants.

Implant services include single-tooth implants, implant-supported overdentures, and full-arch porcelain bridges supported by multiple implants.

Do treatments come with a warranty or guarantee?

Eligible procedures include written coverage. Your Dental Departures quote will attach the current policy so you know the coverage period, what is included, and any maintenance required, such as attending hygiene visits, to keep the guarantee valid.

What payment types are accepted?

Specific methods are not listed on the public page. On Cozumel, clinics commonly accept cash and major credit cards; some cards may carry a small processing fee.

If paying by card, notify your bank about international use and check foreign-transaction fees or daily limits. Accepted methods for your dates can be confirmed with your quote.

How many visits will I need?

Simple care, such as cleanings and small fillings, is often one visit. Crowns and veneers commonly take several days for preparation, try-ins, and final placement. Root canals may take 1–3 days depending on infection and whether a crown is included.

Implant cases are staged: placement first, a healing period, then final abutment and teeth. Your plan shows each step and timeframe.

Are full-arch options like implant bridges or overdentures available?

Yes. The clinic lists full-arch solutions such as implant-supported porcelain bridges, commonly using 4–8 implants, and removable implant overdentures, for example 4–8 implants.

After evaluation, the dentist will review bone levels and discuss whether grafting or sinus lift is recommended before scheduling final teeth.

Who leads the clinic and what are their credentials?

The practice is led by Dr. Jorge I. Cuauhtli Lojero. He earned his dental degree from Anáhuac Mayab University in Yucatán and holds postgraduate diplomas in prosthodontics, endodontics, aesthetic dentistry, oral medicine, implant rehabilitation, and pharmacology, with specialization in oral surgery.

He is a member of the Mexican Dental Association and the National College of Oral Surgeons and has been certified by the National College of Dental Surgeons since 2019.
