What it is
A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with an abutment and a crown. The total price usually covers the implant, abutment and crown, and may not include bone grafts or sinus lifts.
Trips needed
Typically 2 to 3 trips over several days or weeks, depending on whether the implant needs healing time before the crown is placed. Some clinics offer a one-trip option with a temporary crown.
Questions to ask any clinic
- What implant brand and model will you use, and can you show me the box or certificate?
- What is the written warranty on the implant, the abutment and the crown, and what does it not cover?
- What is the license number (cédula profesional) of the dentist who will do the surgery?
- How are instruments sterilized, and can you show me the sterilization protocol?
- What follow-up care is included, and who treats me if a complication happens after I return home?
Getting to Los Algodones
From Yuma, drive to the Andrade port of entry (CBP port 250201) and park on the US side, then walk across the border on foot. Parking lots on the US side are the usual option; check current parking rules and fees before you go. Walking across is the common route, and the Mexican side clinics are within a short walk. To return to the US you must show a valid passport book, a passport card (land crossings only), or a SENTRI/NEXUS card. Check the live wait times at bwt.cbp.gov before you cross, since lines can vary by time of day. Mexican entry requirements for short visits can differ depending on how far you travel from the border; confirm current rules with the Mexican government before you go.
