FAQs

Do you offer treatment warranties or guarantees?

Yes. Lab-made restorations, including crowns, veneers, bridges and dentures, are covered for a defined period, and select implant components may be included. Coverage typically requires following written aftercare, attending maintenance checks and using a night guard if prescribed.

Before any work starts, you’ll receive SMG’s current written warranty for your plan, including the term, inclusions and exclusions, such as smoking or missed recalls, and how repairs or replacements are handled.

How do I reach the clinic from the US side?

Most patients park in the Quechan lot in Andrade, California and walk across. SMG sits roughly three blocks from the pedestrian gate.

If you prefer assistance, the team can meet you at the border and guide you in. Arriving by air? Ask about complimentary transfers from Yuma International Airport, about 20 minutes from the clinic.

Which payment methods can I use?

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards. Larger implant or full-arch plans may allow bank transfers.

Your Dental Departures advisor will confirm the specific card brands, any processor fees and whether a deposit is needed to reserve surgical or lab time for your dates.

What languages are spoken at the clinic?

Spanish is standard, and English assistance is available.

Ask for bilingual consent forms and aftercare instructions if you prefer English throughout the visit.

Can you complete a root canal and crown in one stay?

Often, yes. A straightforward root canal is typically organized over 1–3 days.

If you add a post/core and a permanent crown, such as zirconia or porcelain, plan around 3–5 days total to allow for lab fabrication and a proper try-in. Your schedule can group steps into fewer, longer visits when that is clinically sound.

Are implants and final crowns possible in one trip?

Most single-tooth implants are two-stage. Visit 1 includes diagnostics and implant placement, plus grafting or a sinus lift if needed. Healing, called osseointegration, follows.

Visit 2 includes the abutment and final crown, allowing a few days for the lab. For All-on-X, expect a similar phased plan, with temporaries discussed in advance.

Do you provide free pick-ups or airport transfers?

Yes. Border pick-ups around the Algodones gates can be arranged, and Yuma, Arizona airport transfers are available at no charge.

Your confirmation includes the meeting point, driver details and timing so your arrival is stress-free.
