Dental implant cost: common questions
Why is dental implant cost lower in Tijuana?
Mostly because running a clinic costs less in Mexico: rent, staff and laboratory fees are lower than in Southern California. A lower price does not have to mean cheaper materials, so always ask which implant brand and crown material are included.
Is the dental implant cost the same for front and back teeth?
The implant itself usually costs the same. Front teeth may need extra aesthetic work or grafting, and upper back teeth sometimes need a sinus lift, which adds to the total.
Does the dental implant cost include the crown?
Not always. Some clinics advertise only the implant post. At Smile 4 Ever Mexico the $1,899 price includes the Neodent implant, the abutment and a zirconia crown, but compare every quote line by line.
How long do dental implants last?
With good daily hygiene and regular checkups, implants can last many years. The crown on top may wear and need replacement over time, so ask what the warranty covers.
Will insurance pay part of the dental implant cost?
Some PPO plans reimburse part of implant treatment done abroad. Check your plan before you travel and read our financing and insurance guide.
