I had a wonderful experience and I 100% recommend them after having all four wisdom teeth removed. It didn't hurt at all; I was very anxious and scared, but they gave me a lot of confidence from beginning to end and kept...

Frequently Asked Questions: Dental Care in Tijuana

How do US patients cross to Tijuana for dental work?
The San Ysidro Port of Entry (world's busiest land crossing) and Otay Mesa border are 20 minutes from San Diego. Options: drive and park in San Ysidro then walk across (SENTRI card speeds crossing), Blue Line trolley from San Diego, or pre-arranged clinic pickup (most Tijuana clinics offer free airport/hotel shuttles from San Diego). A US passport or passport card is required. Clinics typically 10 minutes from the border.
Which Tijuana area has the best dental clinics?
Zona Río (the modern financial district) hosts premium international-facing clinics including Trust Dental Care. Zona Centro (historic downtown) has multiple top-rated clinics. Zona Urbana and the Paseo Centenario area are popular with medical tourism. New Age Dental Clinic, In Style Dental Clinic, and other leading practices are within a 15-minute radius of each other, making comparison consultations practical.
How much does dental work cost in Tijuana?
Single dental implants cost USD $800-$1,400 in Tijuana vs USD $3,500-$5,500 in the US. Porcelain veneers USD $350-$600 per tooth vs USD $1,800. Zirconia crowns USD $280-$450 vs USD $1,500. All-on-4 full-arch implants USD $8,500-$12,000 per arch vs USD $25,000-$30,000 in the US. Savings of 70-80% on identical Straumann, Nobel Biocare, or BioHorizons implants.
Can I complete dental work in a day trip from San Diego?
For simple procedures (cleanings, fillings, crown fittings, consultations) yes — day trips work well. For crowns and veneers requiring preparation + fitting, plan 2 separate trips or a 3-4 day stay. For implant placement, plan 5-7 days. All-on-4 requires 7-10 days. Many SoCal patients complete major treatments through 2-3 weekend trips across 6 months rather than one long stay.
Is Tijuana safe for dental tourism?
Zona Río and the dental tourism districts are safe during daytime hours. Most clinics provide shuttle service from the border or San Diego, and many patients never walk outside the clinic-shuttle-hotel zone. Standard precautions: don't drive a rental car into non-tourist areas, avoid walking at night outside Zona Río, stick to reputable taxis or clinic shuttles. The dental tourism corridor is extensively patrolled and well-maintained.
Do I need a passport or visa for Tijuana dental trips?
US citizens need a valid passport, passport card, or enhanced driver's license for re-entry to the US. Land crossing from San Diego is visa-free for US, Canadian, and most EU/UK/Australian passport holders (up to 180 days in Mexico). Passport card is cheaper and sufficient for land crossing. An FMM tourist permit is required for stays beyond the border zone (obtained at the crossing).
Do Tijuana dentists speak English?
Yes, universally at dental tourism clinics. Given the patient demographic (overwhelmingly US), English fluency is standard among dentists, assistants, and patient coordinators. Many Tijuana dentists trained in the US or maintain ongoing US continuing education. Treatment plans, consent forms, and aftercare instructions are provided in English by default. Billing is typically in USD.
What implant brands do Tijuana clinics use?
Top Tijuana clinics use Straumann (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare (Sweden), BioHorizons (US), Zimmer Biomet (US), Neodent (Brazil/Straumann), and MIS (Israel). IPS E.max (Ivoclar Vivadent) and Zirconia BruxZir are standard for crowns and veneers. These are the identical brands used at US dental offices — the only difference is price, not materials. Every clinic provides material certificates with treatment.
