Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants are tiny titanium posts, which are placed into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve your facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Tijuana, Mexico?
Dental implants are the gold standard when it comes to tooth replacement, but the superior strength and long-term durability also means that dental implants are the most expensive option for replacing missing teeth. Fortunately, San Diego dental patients have a geographical advantage, offering the opportunity for high-quality, low-cost dental services including dental implants right across the border in Tijuana, Mexico.
Why choose dental implants?
Dental implants have been used for decades to replace teeth that are missing due to injury or decay. Implants are also by far the strongest, longest-lasting, and most natural-looking option compared to alternative methods like crowns, bridges, and dentures. Most importantly, dental implants involve a screw implanted into your jawbone that serves as an anchor for the prosthetic tooth. This prevents your jawbone from deteriorating over time, which is a natural reaction to not having a tooth root in place. Jawbone loss can lead to shifted teeth, loose teeth, more missing teeth, and other unfortunate oral health outcomes. Dental implants will help keep your jawbone and your smile strong and healthy.
Why choose dental implants in Tijuana?
Tijuana offers all the amenities of a major city, including several dental practices that serve patients on both sides of the border. Dentists in Mexico are held to the same strict educational and professional standards as dentists in the U.S.. The main difference between dental offices in the two countries is the cost of services and materials, which are lower across in Mexico. However, lower cost does not translate to lower quality, and the savings are significant for dental implants—especially if pre-implant procedures are required.
How much do dental implants cost in Mexico?
Dental implants actually involve three separate pieces: the titanium implant screw, an abutment that connects the screw and the implant crown, and the crown itself, which is usually made from porcelain but can also be made from zirconia. At BioDental Care in Tijuana, dental implants costs are as follows:
- Surgical placement of implant: $900
- Implant abutment: $300
- Implant crown: $450
The total cost of dental implant surgery could be higher based on any required pre-surgical procedures, such as extractions, sinus lifts, and bone grafts.
How much can I save on dental implants in Tijuana compared to the US and Canada?
In general, you can expect to save anywhere between 40-70% on a wide variety of dental procedures when you select a dentist in Tijuana.
FAQ
Dental implants are a strong and effective tooth restoration solution, and they’re not just for the elderly. Tooth loss can happen at any age, from accidents, sports injuries, oral health conditions or orthodontic conditions. The age range for dental implants is generally 23-100. Children who have not reached skeletal maturity are not good candidates because dental implants can interfere with their jawbone development. Skeletal maturity is typically reached in the early to mid-20s. At the other end, there is no upper age limit for dental implants, but the patient must have sufficient jawbone to support them. In short, candidacy for dental implants is less about the age of the patient and more about the condition of their jawbone.
Whether you get your dental work done in the USA or in Mexico, the quality will depend on where you go. Not every dental practice will offer the same excellent, high-quality, and affordable dental service. But if you go to a licensed and experienced dentist in Mexico who has a solid reputation, then you’re in good hands. Dentists in Mexico have a rigorous education and extensive training before they receive their Doctor of Dental Surgery. Specialists continue their education and training even further.
If you get your dental implants in Mexico, you’re also getting the same high quality implants you’d get in the U.S., but for a fraction of the cost. Why is it so much cheaper to get your dental implants in Mexico? Because dentists in Mexico don’t have the exorbitant student loan debt or overhead that U.S. dentists have. The cost of living also makes it much easier for Mexico dentists to live a high quality of life without overcharging their patients.
Dental implants are metal anchors, which act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jaw bone. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, dental implants are placed within your jaw bone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jaw bone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your restorative dentist designs the final bridgework or denture, which will ultimately improve both function and aesthetics.
After the dental implant has bonded to the jaw bone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. Dr. Trejo can then start making your new teeth. An impression must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The replacement teeth are then made over the posts or attachments. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
