Open Curettage Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
Open curettage is a periodontal procedure performed when gum disease has advanced and conventional cleaning is not enough. It consists of gently separating the gum to access the tooth root and remove tartar and inflamed tissue under direct vision.
When is it indicated? In cases of periodontitis with deep pockets, where surface cleaning fails to eliminate the infection.
What does it include? It is performed with local anesthesia and is usually accompanied by aftercare instructions and follow-up.
Who performs it? It is carried out by the dentist, ideally with experience in periodontics. To find out whether your case requires it, it is wisest to have a clinical assessment of your gums.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
