4. Do treatments come with a warranty or guarantee?

Yes. Eligible treatments and materials come with written coverage. Ask for the current warranty document with your quote so you understand what is included, how long coverage lasts, and any requirements, such as attending recommended checkups or following aftercare instructions, to keep the guarantee valid.

5. What payment types are accepted?

Payment options are confirmed with your Dental Departures quote when you book. Clinics in Tijuana commonly accept cash and major credit cards, but policies and any card-processing fees can vary.
