There is a wide selection of dentists practising in the Cayman Islands. The level of dental care in Cayman is sophisticated enough to minimise the need to travel overseas for specialist treatment.
There is a wide selection of dentists and orthodontists practising in the Cayman Islands. The cost difference between government dentists and private dentists can be considerable, but there is often a waiting list at the hospital.
Some work can be done at the walk-in clinics, such as extractions and dentures. Health insurance plans don’t always cover dentistry, and the coverage can vary. Orthodontics are not always covered, however, if your plan does provide for it, a lifetime maximum is often stipulated. Pain management treatment combined with orthodontics is available on-Island.
There are many dental centres in the Cayman Islands employing over 160 registered practitioners (including assistants and hygienists) providing preventative care, corrective treatments, orthodontics and dental surgery.
