Can the NHS pay?

Treatment in Mexico is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.

Planning the trip from the UK

Before you goSend recent X-rays and photos, and get a written plan with the number of teeth, the material and the total price.
Before you goRead the official travel advice for the country. The UK Foreign Office says dental procedures are among the most common treatments for medical tourists in Turkey.
Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements).
LanguageSpanish; border clinics that serve US patients usually work in English.
After you returnRegister with a dentist at home and give them the records and materials used. A chipped or loose veneer needs a dentist, at home prices.
