Hi, I’m Irma Gavaldon
I'm an active member of the A.D.A. (American Dental Association), as well as a former professor of senior students in Advanced Dentistry for 3 years, at the University of Michigan, which is ranked as one of the top 3 schools of Dentistry in the U.S. My expertise is reflected in the success of my clinic, Cancun Dental Specialists, which in the last 10 years has received thousands of patients from the US and Canada.
What I Do
Complex Restorations
One or more procedures replace a part, or all, of the teeth on a patient's upper or lower jaw.
Full-Mouth Restorations
The objective is to improve esthetics while correcting functionality in the patient's bite.
Single Implant Rehabilitation
Dental implant rehabilitation provides looking and functioning like a natural tooth, without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth.
Full-Mouth Implant Rehabilitation
Combination of esthetics with the science of restorative dentistry to improve the health, function, and beauty of the mouth in edentulous patients.
Smile Makeup
Is an innovative, advanced dental procedure designed exclusively to enhance and harmonize the smile and facial attractiveness of the patient.
Cosmetic Restoration
Can take a variety of procedures, ranging from small repairs to full tooth replacement, depending on the specific issue that needs repair on the mouth patients. One of the most common are Veneers.

May 14, 2022Still can't believe what a great job CDS does. The business model is client first. They will never upsell you. By putting the patient first they have won a lifetime of loyalty from me. I have been to many high-end dentists in Manhattan, none have come close to CDS in terms of quality, service, and patient care that CDS does 365 days a year. Bringing my wife, and sister back with me in December. 😁

May 18, 2022Amazing experience! Cancun Dental Specialists put two new crowns on my two dental implants. I was quoted $2700 here in Illinois per tooth! My cost in per crown at Cancun Dental Specialists was only $600 per tooth. This saved me over 4 thousand dollars!! Service was 100 percent professional, they spoke perfect English. Everything was explained to me every step of the way. If you need any kind of major dental work, grab your passport and head to Cancun Dental Specialists!
