Patient Experience

Visits typically begin with a consultation and indicated imaging, followed by side-by-side options, timelines, and a written estimate. If you share recent x-rays or CT scans in advance, the team can pre-reserve lab or surgical time. This can often compress sequences like root canal and crown treatment or multi-unit restorative work into fewer, longer appointments around your border travel.

Getting There

Fly to El Paso International Airport (ELP). It is usually about 20–25 minutes to the border from the airport, plus crossing time. Rideshare and taxi options operate on both sides.

After crossing, you will receive the GPS pin, suggested port of entry, simple approach roads, and nearby drop-off or parking points once booked.

How to Book

Your Dental Departures advisor can confirm chair availability, coordinate same-day options where appropriate, and map appointments to 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 defined period. To keep coverage valid, you will need to follow written aftercare, attend recommended maintenance visits, and use protective devices, such as a night guard, if prescribed. Before treatment begins, Dental Departures will share the clinic’s current written warranty for your exact plan, including what is covered, the duration, exclusions, and how repair or replacement is handled.

Where is the clinic and how do I get there?
 

Montana Dental Clinic is in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, near the US border with El Paso, Texas. From El Paso International Airport (ELP), plan about 20–25 minutes to the border plus crossing time. From there, a short rideshare or taxi reaches the clinic. Once you book, Dental Departures will send the GPS pin, the recommended port of entry, simple approach streets, and the best drop-off or parking options.

Which payment methods are accepted?

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards. For larger plans, bank transfer may be available. Because accepted card brands, processor fees, and 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. If you prefer English-assisted appointments, tell Dental Departures during booking. Your advisor can arrange bilingual consent and aftercare so everything is clear and comfortable.

How long does a root canal with a crown take?

A straightforward root canal is often completed in about 1 day, depending on the tooth. If a post, core, and permanent crown are part of the plan, allow about 3–5 days total to cover clinical steps and the lab’s fabrication and fit checks. Your itinerary will map each step and include a review visit before you head home.

Can I finish an implant and crown in one trip?

Most single-tooth implant plans are two-stage. Visit one is for diagnostics and implant placement, plus any grafting if needed. This is followed by healing, called osseointegration, when the implant bonds with the jawbone. Visit two places the abutment and final crown, with a few days allowed for lab work. Dental Departures will align visits to your flights and discuss temporary solutions during healing.

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

With notice, the clinic can arrange an exam and indicated x-rays the same day, with CT or 3D imaging through a partner when needed. The clinic can also provide a same-day written estimate. Sharing recent images and your medical and dental history in advance helps the team reserve lab time and may reduce the number of visits.
