TRANSPARENCY
Existing indicative prices
Existing indicative estimates in USD, not verified current clinic offers. Final costs depend on the treatment plan, materials, clinic and written quote inclusions. Imaging, grafting, extractions, temporary teeth, aftercare and travel may cost extra. Hungary: the implant + crown estimate does not confirm abutment inclusion. No scope-resolved both-arch estimate is available; request an itemized quote rather than doubling a per-arch price.

Existing indicative estimates in USD, not verified current clinic offers. Final costs depend on the treatment plan, materials, clinic and written quote inclusions. Imaging, grafting, extractions, temporary teeth, aftercare and travel may cost extra. Fixture-only means the implant post, not a restored tooth. A restored tooth includes a crown; confirm the abutment. Per arch means one upper or lower jaw. Full mouth means both arches. Do not assume a per-arch price covers both jaws.

PATIENT GUIDE
Planning Your Trip to Mexico
Is Mexico safe for dental treatment?
Check the individual clinic and dentist’s licence and credentials, written plan, risks, materials and aftercare. A country or brand does not guarantee safety or quality.
How many days should I stay?
Your dentist or oral surgeon should confirm when it is appropriate to travel after your procedure, based on your individual treatment plan and recovery.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. US, Canadian, UK and EU citizens do not need a visa for short tourist stays, but every border crossing or flight requires a valid passport (or passport card at land borders).
Which city should I choose?
Los Algodones and Tijuana suit short drive-across trips, Cancún suits treatment combined with a holiday, and Mexico City offers the widest choice of specialists for complex cases.
Can I drive across the border?
Yes. Many patients park on the US side and walk across to Los Algodones or Tijuana. Arrange a driver on surgery day rather than driving yourself home.
Do dentists speak English?
English is standard in clinics serving US and Canadian patients. Confirm the surgeon speaks English, not only the reception team.
How do I pay?
Confirm payment methods, currencies and all fees in writing before paying a deposit.
What follow-up care should I expect?
Expect a post-operative check before you travel home, remote follow-up with your coordinator, and a return visit for the final restoration. Proximity makes short return trips far easier than from Europe.
