*Based on published implant survival data; individual results vary.

You were quoted $30,000 in the U.S. — and told to just live with it.

Maybe a bridge finally failed. Maybe your dentures click when you talk and you've stopped ordering the steak. Maybe you smile with your mouth closed in every photo now.

The U.S. quote was real — and so was the sticker shock. So you started Googling Mexico, and then the second fear hit: how do I know a clinic across the border is actually safe?

That's the honest question we built this clinic to answer.

Picture six months from now: biting into an apple without thinking, laughing in a photo and meaning it, a written quote you understood before you ever packed a bag — using the same Swiss and Swedish implants your U.S. dentist would have used.

Single Implant + Crown

One titanium implant replaces a single missing tooth at the root, topped with a custom ceramic crown milled in our in-house lab. It looks, bites, and lasts like a natural tooth — no neighbouring teeth are ground down.

A complete arch of fixed teeth anchored on four strategically placed implants — a permanent alternative to removable dentures. Often placed with immediate-load temporaries the same day, so you don't leave without teeth.

Same-Day “Teeth in a Day”

For suitable candidates, we place implants and a fixed temporary bridge in a single visit using guided surgery and our in-house lab — you walk out the same day with teeth. Candidacy depends on bone quality, confirmed by your CBCT scan.

Bone Graft / Sinus Lift

Lost a tooth years ago? The bone may have shrunk. A graft or sinus lift rebuilds the foundation so an implant has something solid to anchor into. Often done alongside implant placement — your CBCT tells us if you need it.

Why Tijuana · How it works

The savings are real. So is the safety question.

A registered facility

Our clinic is COFEPRIS-registered — Mexico's federal health authority, the equivalent of FDA oversight. We follow international sterilization protocols and our dentists are ADA members.

The same implants

We place only Straumann (Switzerland) and Nobel Biocare (Sweden) — the exact systems used by leading U.S. clinics. The hardware in your jaw is not where Mexico saves you money.

A full surgical team

An oral surgeon, prosthodontist, and anesthesiologist are on staff — not contracted out. Complex cases are handled in-house, under one roof, by people who do this every day.

A warranty that travels home

A lifetime implant warranty (manufacturing defect) and a 5-year restoration warranty, plus remote follow-up with your coordinator once you're back home.

★★★★★

“I was quoted $28,000 in San Diego for one upper arch. Marés did it for a fraction, and the coordinator booked my shuttle and hotel. I can eat a ribeye again.”

Karen D. · San Diego, CA · All-on-4® upper

“Same Nobel Biocare implants my U.S. dentist wanted. Dr. Marés walked me through my CBCT scan over video before I crossed the border. Zero pressure.”

“The border wait was my biggest fear. They picked me up at the San Ysidro crossing and it was 15 minutes to the chair. Felt safer than I expected.”

Susan L. · Calgary, AB · Full mouth

“Flat-rate quote in writing before I booked a flight, and the final bill matched it to the dollar. After a $41k U.S. quote, I still tear up about it.”

“Bilingual every step. My coordinator texted me through recovery once I got home to Tucson. Six months in, the implant feels like it was always mine.”

Patricia H. · Tucson, AZ · Single implant + crown

Questions, answered

The things you're actually worried about.

Does it hurt?
Implant surgery is done under local anesthesia, with IV sedation available for longer cases and an anesthesiologist on staff. Most patients describe the discomfort afterward as similar to an extraction, managed with standard medication. We'll review what to expect during your consult.
How do I know the clinic is legitimate and safe?
The clinic is COFEPRIS-registered (Mexico's federal health authority), our dentists are ADA members, and Dr. Marés holds an ICOI Diplomate. We follow international sterilization protocols and place only Straumann and Nobel Biocare implants. You can verify our registration and ask for documentation during your free consult.
How much can I really save?
Most patients save 50–70% versus typical U.S. pricing — using the same implant systems. The savings come from Mexico's lower operating costs, not from cheaper materials. Your exact, flat-rate quote is confirmed after a free CBCT review.
What implants do you use?
Only Straumann (Switzerland) and Nobel Biocare (Sweden) — two of the most clinically documented implant systems in the world. These are the same systems used by leading U.S. and Canadian clinics.
How long does it take? How many trips?
It depends on your case. Single implants may need two short trips; full-arch and full-mouth cases are typically two visits of about 5–7 days, spaced over the healing period. Some patients qualify for same-day temporaries. Your plan is mapped out in writing before you travel.
What if there's a problem after I'm home?
You travel home with a lifetime implant warranty (manufacturing defect) and a 5-year restoration warranty. Your coordinator stays reachable for remote follow-up, and we can coordinate with a local dentist if something needs in-person attention.
Do you speak English?
Yes — our team is fully bilingual, and every international patient gets a dedicated bilingual coordinator from the first message through follow-up at home.
Is financing available?
Yes. We work with a third-party financing partner for medical procedures; your coordinator can share options and typical terms during your consult. Approval and rates are determined by the financing provider.
Can I fly right after surgery?
Many patients fly home a day or two after routine implant placement, but it depends on your procedure and how you heal. Your surgical team gives you specific guidance; for sedation cases we'll advise a short wait.
How do I cross the border and get to the clinic?
We arrange a free private shuttle from the San Diego airport, the San Ysidro border crossing, or the Tijuana airport — the clinic is about 15 minutes away in Zona Río. You don't need to drive or park; your coordinator sends exact pickup details.
