Popular Treatments

Implants and Full-Arch Options

Options include standard titanium implants, implant plus abutment and crown packages, sinus lifts, bone grafts, implant overdentures, and full-arch porcelain bridges supported by 4–8 implants.

Crowns and Veneers

The clinic offers porcelain or ceramic, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, also known as PFM crowns. Temporary crowns, temporary veneers, inlays, and onlays are also available.

Endodontics

Endodontics includes root canals for anterior teeth, premolars, and molars, with post, core, and crown sequencing when indicated.

Dentures

Denture options include full dentures, immediate or healing dentures, partial dentures with acrylic, flexible, or metal frames, and flippers or temporary partials.

General and Cosmetic Dentistry

Services include exams, composite fillings, deep cleaning, simple and surgical extractions, laser whitening, and take-home whitening kits.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics include panoramic films and CT or 3D imaging through partner imaging when needed.

Patient Experience

Expect a consultation-first visit with an exam, indicated imaging, a written plan with timelines, and a firm estimate before you begin. Sharing recent x-rays or CT scans in advance helps reserve lab or surgical time and compress multi-step care, such as root canal and crown treatment or multi-unit implants, into fewer, longer appointments around your travel.

Getting There

Fly to El Paso International Airport (ELP). The drive from ELP to the border is typically about 20–25 minutes. The onward trip to the clinic in Juárez depends on the port of entry and traffic.

Taxi or rideshare options are available on either side of the border. Plan extra time for border formalities and have your passport ready. Your booking includes the clinic’s GPS pin, suggested crossing, and ideal drop-off points.

How to Book

Your Dental Departures advisor can confirm chair availability, price your plan, and line up back-to-back appointments to fit your travel free of charge.

FAQs

What warranties or guarantees does the clinic provide?

Warranties are typically procedure-specific and most often cover lab-made restorations, such as crowns, veneers, bridges, and dentures, and, when stated, implant components for a set period. To keep coverage valid, you will need to follow written aftercare, attend any recommended checks, and use protective devices, such as a night guard, if prescribed. Before treatment starts, Dental Departures will share the clinic’s current written warranty for your exact plan, including what is covered, the time period, exclusions, and how repair or replacement is handled.

Where is the clinic and how do I get there?

Smile Inn is in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, near the US border with El Paso, Texas. From El Paso International Airport (ELP), it is generally about 20–25 minutes to the border plus crossing time. From there, rideshares or taxis reach the clinic quickly. With your booking, Dental Departures will send the GPS pin, the recommended port of entry, easy approach roads, and the best drop-off or parking spots.

Which payment methods are accepted?

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards; larger plans may allow bank transfer. Because accepted card brands, processor fees, and potential cash-discount policies can change, your Dental Departures advisor will confirm the exact options for your dates and whether a deposit is needed to reserve lab or surgical time.

What languages are spoken at the clinic?
 

Spanish is the local language. English assistance can be arranged via Dental Departures so you have an English-assisted appointment with bilingual consent and aftercare. Tell Dental Departures your preference when booking, and the team will schedule accordingly.

How long does a root canal with a crown take?

A straightforward root canal is often organized over 1–3 days depending on the tooth and infection control. If a post, core, and permanent crown are included, plan about 3–5 days total to accommodate clinical and lab steps. Your printed plan will map each step to your travel window and include a review visit before you fly home.

Can I complete an implant and crown in a single trip?

Most single-tooth implant cases are two-stage. Visit one includes diagnostics and implant placement, plus any sinus lift or bone graft if needed. Visit two takes place after healing and osseointegration, which is when the implant bonds with the jawbone, and includes the abutment and final crown. Allow a few days for lab work. Your coordinator will align visits with your flights and discuss temporary options during healing.

Do you offer same-day diagnostics and a written plan?
 

With notice, the clinic can arrange an exam and x-rays the same day, with CT or 3D imaging through a partner imaging center when indicated. The clinic can then provide a same-day written estimate. Sending recent images and medical and dental history ahead of time speeds planning and may reduce the number of visits.
