Is it Safe to get Dental Work in Ecuador?

Safety is understandably a big concern for those seeking dental treatment in Ecuador, especially if it involves oral surgery. After all, this particularly invasive form of treatment comes with a higher risk of infection. It’s worth remembering that complications can occur no matter where you go or how skilled your dentist is. With that said, precautions that can help minimize risk include:

• Researching your dentist of choice’s accreditation, training, previous work, and reviews.
• Making sure dental physicians follow standard hygiene practices, such as wearing protective gear like face masks and sterile gloves.

At Dr. Grace Ordoñez Dental Practice, we take infection prevention and control very seriously. We only offer procedures ad treatments that we fully trust will provide you with a truly healthy smile.  Our dental office is mercury safe, and we can even replace any traditional amalgam fillings you may have with more advanced materials through safe mercury removal.

Aside from the dental work itself, some are also concerned about general safety while in Ecuador. However, the country has put in a lot of work to become safer for visitors and expats.

Cuenca is home to many EXPATS due to its welcoming atmosphere, safety and beauty.

Cuenca, Ecuador, is a colonial gem that lays sprawled out amidst the Andes mountains that surround the city. Between Cuenca’s history, the culture, and many adventurous pursuits that abound in the area, this city has something for everybody. 

Cuenca is a top destination for travellers and EXPATS, famous for its architecture, climate and people. 

Many people say that Cuenca looks a lot like a European city because of the Spanish colonial architecture. Most of the buildings in the city center are beautifully decorated in colonial style with red-tiled roofs, and little flower-filled wrought-iron balconies.
