FAQs

Do you offer warranties or guarantees on treatment?

Yes. Lab-made restorations, including crowns, bridges, dentures and often veneers, are typically covered for a defined period, and some implant components may be included when specified.

To keep coverage valid, follow written aftercare, attend maintenance visits and use a night guard if prescribed. Before you start, you’ll receive the clinic’s current written warranty for your plan, including the coverage window, inclusions and exclusions, and how repairs or replacements are handled.

How does US dental insurance work here?

The clinic specializes in American plans. Depending on your insurer and policy, you may pay the clinic and seek reimbursement or be able to use direct billing where applicable.

The team prepares itemized invoices, treatment codes when available and supporting documents. Your coordinator will confirm what your plan allows and which forms are needed before your visit.

Where exactly is the clinic and how do I reach it from the US side?

Drive to Andrade, California, park at the Quechan lot and walk through the Algodones pedestrian gate.

After booking, you’ll get the GPS pin, simple approach notes and the best meet-up or drop-off spots. If you prefer not to walk, take a short local taxi from the gate straight to the front door.

Which payment types are accepted?

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

If you’re using US insurance, bring your member ID, photo ID and any preauthorization your insurer requires. Your advisor will confirm card brands, any processing fees and deposit rules for your dates.

What languages are spoken?

Spanish is standard, with English assistance available for consultations, consent and aftercare.

Ask for bilingual paperwork if you prefer English throughout.

How fast can a root canal and crown be completed?

A straightforward root canal is often planned over 1–3 days.

Adding a post/core and a permanent crown, such as zirconia or porcelain, typically makes the total around 3–5 days to allow for lab fabrication and a proper try-in. Steps are often grouped into fewer, longer sessions to minimize trips.

Can implants and final crowns be finished in one visit?

Usually not. Most single-tooth implants are two-stage. Visit 1 includes diagnostics and implant placement, followed by healing, also called osseointegration.

Visit 2 is a shorter appointment for the abutment and final crown. All-on-4 or All-on-6 follows a similar phased plan, and the team discusses provisional teeth and ideal healing intervals in advance.
