Premium, Fast-Turnaround Dentistry with an Onsite Lab

Led by Dr. Luis Felipe Almanza Bermúdez, a specialist dental surgeon with more than 20 years of experience, the clinic focuses on prosthetics, aesthetics, and implantology. Care is supported by digital diagnostics and an onsite dental laboratory that can turn around many prosthetic cases in less than 24 hours, which is helpful for patients working with tight travel windows.

Patient Experience

Expect a calm, modern environment with step-by-step explanations and written aftercare. Many cosmetic and restorative cases fit into two to three days thanks to the onsite lab, while implant plans typically follow two stages: placement, healing, and final restoration.

Share any recent x-rays or scans ahead of time so the team can map options and timelines during your first visit.

FAQs

What warranties or guarantees are available?

Guarantees are generally procedure-specific and may cover lab-made restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and bridges, as well as implant components for a stated period.

Coverage usually requires following aftercare, attending routine cleanings and checks, and not missing follow-up visits. Before treatment begins, ask Dental Departures to obtain the clinic’s current written warranty for your plan, including what is covered, duration, repair or replacement steps, maintenance requirements, and exclusions that could void coverage.

Where is the clinic and how do I reach it?
 

Almanza Dental is located in Guadalajara with easy access from Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) by licensed airport taxi or Uber.

Travel time is typically about 25–45 minutes, depending on traffic. If you are already in the city, standard rideshare or taxi services work well. Your Dental Departures advisor can share the exact GPS pin after booking and suggest convenient hotel zones nearby.

Which payment types are accepted?

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards; some may allow bank transfers for larger cases.

Because accepted card brands, processor fees, and any cash discounts can change, your Dental Departures advisor will confirm the exact accepted methods for your dates and note any deposit needed to reserve lab time or surgical blocks.

What languages are spoken at the clinic?

You can expect Spanish and English support across reception and chairside care.

Share your language preference when booking so Dental Departures can help schedule you with an English-speaking dentist and coordinator for clear consultations and aftercare.

How long do dental implants take?
 

Most dental implant plans run in two stages. Stage one, implant placement, is typically scheduled over one to two days with a brief check. Stage two, which includes the abutment and crown or bridge, happens after healing, also called osseointegration.

If bone grafting or a sinus lift is required, timelines may extend. Dental Departures can help map visits around your travel dates and discuss temporary teeth or provisional options while you heal.

Does the onsite lab really speed things up?

Yes. Having the lab in-house helps the team fabricate and adjust crowns, veneers, and bridges quickly—often in under 24 hours for select cases while you are still in town.

Shade-matching and fit checks can happen chairside, which reduces back-and-forth and may shorten the overall treatment time.

Can I get same-day diagnostics and a plan?
 

Often, yes. With advance notice, the clinic can arrange panoramic and/or 3D CT imaging plus a consultation on the same day, so you can review options, timelines, and a quote in a single visit.

Sharing recent records in advance can shorten your appointment further.
