Medical tourism, as many are calling it, has become very popular in Baja due to the economic crisis felt by many around the world. A new economic reality, with the higher increased costs on dental procedures, in other countries has basically forced a greater number of people to look for dental alternatives overseas still with a great quality and at an a affordable cost.

How it can be possible than dental treatments have a lower cost in Mexico?
due to the different economic situation of Mexico, the per capita income of the habitants determines and regulates the prices in the entire national market. For this reason, the dental prices in Mexico must be accessible to everyone in the country, which makes them more attractive to foreign clients. Also the lack of needing high mal practice insurance and additional taxes for medicines relative to the United State for example.
The Dental products quality is lower than in the USA? NO, dental products are just exactly the same everywhere in the world, by example, a Composite or a Porcelain Inlay that Mexican Dentists use, is exactly the same as the ones they use in the USA or Canada, normally these products are made in the United States, Europe or Japan, these materials had been previously tested and approved from organizations such as the Food and Drugs Department, the American Dental Association and so many others in the European Union; in Mexico they are supported by the NOM (Mexican Official Standards)
Are the Dental Equipments the same than in the USA? The technology has brought a greater amount of quality equipment to improve and help the dentists and surgeons, however Dr. Arciga dental equipment has improved strategically on a step by step base on the acceptance and needs and as he increases his number of clients.
Is the capacity of the Mexican Dentists adequate? History has demonstrated to us how fast the new medical modernization is in its different fields and Dentistry has spread worldwide, based on the globalization of the actual economy, technology, free trades plus the Internet, has increased the flow of communications, which allows vital information to be shared between corporations and individuals around the world, but most important than that, is the free competition and demand that exist in the public, which allow the Mexican dentists to expand their knowledge in the new scientific technologies to keep up to date, as is the case of Dr. Arciga and his associated group.

Dr. Arciga´s History
Dr. Arciga realized his studies at the University of Michoacán located in his home town of Morelia in the middle Mexico. He has resided in Cabo, Baja Sur since 1979.
Dr. Arciga’s original idea was to set up his dental office at the border between California and Tijuana so that he could offer his professional services to both the Mexican and American people who crossed the border, looking for affordable dental services.
In 1976, as part of his University Education, Dr. Arciga visited Cabo San Lucas, where he was to provide a mandatory social service. At the time Cabo was only a small port town with its main attraction being the sport of marlin fishing. It was however, surrounded by incredible natural beauty.
It was during this first visit that Dr. Arciga fell in love with the area. He loved the beautiful beaches, amazing sand dunes, sun drenched desert, and stunning sunrises & sunsets of Cabo San Lucas. It was not surprising that he decided that he wanted to make Cabo his home. Upon completing his social service, he realized that by remaining in Cabo he would still be able to reach his professional objective to serve the international clientele that frequented the area.
Dr. Arciga decided to start his dental practice in Los Cabos and continued with his dental mission at La Paz. Since 1979 Dr. Arciga has successfully offered his services to people from all around the world. This truly was a life changing decision which allowed him to develop an excellent reputation and build an international clientele, many of whom remain in close contact and have become his close personal friends.
Many of Dr. Arciga´s customers are co-nationals, primarily coming from Canada and the US. While some visit him for treatments while on their travels, many, especially the retirees, permanently live in Cabo.
