Posted prices

The clinic's own figures, in the currency and wording it used (an exact price, a "from" price or a range). Lists change and a quote after an exam can differ from a list; the unit column matters, since "per arch" and "per tooth" are not comparable.

Practitioners the clinic names

As listed on the clinic's site. The license column shows the number printed there, or that none is.

A number shown on a clinic's site is a claim until it is looked up. Mexico's professional licenses (cédulas) are issued by the Secretaría de Educación Pública and searchable by name or number on its registry, which in our tests did not answer from connections outside Mexico. Ask the clinic for a screenshot of the registry entry, or run the search from a Mexican connection before treatment. SEP Registro Nacional de Profesionistas.

Accreditation and membership claims

Claims as the clinic states them, with where each can be checked. A logo on a website is not a listing in an accreditor's register.

  • American Dental Association membership

    'all our dental experts are currently associated with the ADA' (as posted)

    Claimed on the clinic's site.

    How to check: membership is not publicly searchable; ask the clinic for the member number.
