In Mexico, getting an implant with the abutment and the crown is as affordable as $1,650.
That’s less than getting a single titanium implant alone without restoration in the US.

All About Dental Implants in Mexico
What Are Dental Implants?
If you’re missing one or a few teeth, you’re presented with a couple of options.
Dental implants are the most expensive yet the best long-term solution for missing teeth. [13]
They can be made from titanium or zirconia and are surgically placed — under anesthesia — into your jawbone.
Dental Implant
Procedure
Since the procedure of getting dental implants needs to be assessed thoroughly and tailored to each person specifically, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
You may require two separate trips. It can be done in one trip but is case-dependent. The process includes:
On the first visit, the dentist will perform a series of x-rays and take an impression of your mouth.
If the tooth/teeth in question are damaged, you might need an extraction.
Panoramic X-ray
Alternatively, some clinics accept X-ray scans done in the US. Just make sure they are not older than six months.
If the dentist determines you have enough bone surrounding the area, you will undergo the procedure without a bone graft, sinus lift, or ridge expansion.
Even though the procedure isn’t complete, you will leave with a temporary set of teeth that will work until the next trip.
Healing Time – Back Home
Your second visit will occur several months later when the jawbone fuses with the implant, healing completely.
The actual time needed for this to happen differs from one person to another.
But your dentist will give you the approximate time frame to organize your flights and accommodation.
Once your dentist determines your implant is stable enough, a dental abutment is placed on it to serve as a connector to the crown.
In some cases, the abutment will be placed at the same time as the implant, but these cases are very rare, so talk through your options with your dentist.
The last step involves attaching a permanent crown to the abutment, after which the full procedure is done.
If you need more implants than one, a bridge of 4 or 6 is created to connect your entire side arch.
Additional Information About Dental Implants Procedure in Mexico
- When can I go to work after implant surgery?
You can go back to work whenever you feel confident that you can.
Your dentist’s recommendation will vary depending on how extensive/invasive your entire procedure will be.
Usually, you may need a day or two off for minimally invasive procedures (e.g., bone graft).
You may need up to a week for lengthy and complex procedures (e.g., full-mouth restoration).
- How many trips to Mexico will I need for my dental implants?
Should everything go without any complications, you’ll need two visits to Mexico.
You’ll undergo the dental implant procedure during the first trip.
During the second trip (a few months later), your dentist will place the crowns.
For same-day implants, you may require a single trip ( 2 to 3 appointments), depending on your case.
Types of Dental Implants
Zirconia vs. Titanium Dental Implants
When getting dental implants in Mexico, there are a few different options. Depending on the material, you can get zirconia or titanium dental implants:
| Zirconia Dental Implants | Titanium Dental Implants |
Pros

Zygoma Dental Implants
Zygoma dental implants are created for those with less stable bone tissue and placed in a different bone than traditional implants.
They avoid bone grafting and sinus lift procedures.
You can get zygoma dental implants in Mexico for an affordable price.
Zygomatic Implant
It can anchor one or more teeth on one side or both sides, retaining some teeth.
So ask your dentist for all available options if your bone tissue isn’t viable for a regular dental implant.
The zygoma dental implant is more affordable, done in a single visit, but cannot replace one tooth. Your dentist will give you the best options, depending on your situation.
Zygoma Dental Implants vs. Sinus Lift / Bone Graft
A Sinus Lift/ Bone Graft is needed when the maxillary sinus is too close to the implant site and more bone is needed to stabilize the implant.
Other times, there isn’t enough bone to begin with so a bone graft is needed.
A sinus lift/bone graft takes a lot longer to heal and fuse.
Sinus Lift
Full-Mouth Dental Implants in Mexico
The total cost for a full-mouth restoration depends on the number of dental implants needed in each jaw.
The number of implants needed per jaw usually goes from 2-8, depending on:
- Bone density
- Bone thickness, and
- Implant strength
All on 8 Implants
Your dentist will tell you the optimal solution for your situation.
The more implants you need, the higher the price, but your dentist can create a budget-friendly package.
Consider talking about your budget with the dentist, and you’ll figure out a treatment plan that works for you and your needs.
Full-Mouth Restoration vs. All-On-4
The all-on-4 dental implant procedure is a unique system that replaces a full set of upper teeth, lower teeth, or both with only four implants per arch.
It achieves minimal use of implants by strategically positioning each of the four implants within the jawbone so that they can support one or two sets of dentures for a completely restored dental function.
On the other hand, a traditional, full-mouth restoration may require as many as ten dental implants per arch, but this procedure is also more versatile and may be paired with:
- Dental crowns to replace individual teeth
- Dental bridges to replace multiple teeth
- Implant-supported dentures to replace a full set of teeth.
In some cases, the procedure can be more invasive than a traditional full-mouth restoration, as its protocol may require removing good teeth from the jaw.
Aftercare
Dental implant aftercare is split into two categories:
Short-term Care (2 weeks)
- Eat after anesthesia
- No pressure on implant site
- Soft foods for 24 hours
- No exercise for 48 hours
- Stop smoking
Long-term Care (Lifetime)
- Schedule regular check-ups
- Practice dental hygiene
- Rely on a healthy diet
- Avoid sticky food
- Avoid smoking

Being such a respectable touristic attraction — ranked 6th worldwide in 2017 by UNWTO [19] — treat your Mexican dental trip as a vacation.
Spend some time at one of their resorts, soaking up the sun and showing off your new dazzling smile as you relax your body & mind.
It’s no wonder, then, that medical & dental tourism in Mexico is at an all-time high.
You will require a minimum of two trips to complete the treatment.
Therefore, you should plan them out with your vacation days to get the best of both worlds.
Is It Safe to Get Dental Implants in Mexico?

A bad doctor experience or procedure failure can happen anywhere, no matter the country.
However, in general, there’s no need to feel unsafe in Mexico.
Just like you would in the States, it’s essential to check if the clinic you’re going to has the required:
- Licenses & accreditations
- Patient reviews & testimonials
Mexico’s tourism brings it to the top of vacation-friendly countries. [20]
Therefore, it is very advanced in medical and dental tourism, with many dentists collaborating with those from the US
But, as always, do your research before you decide to travel for any medical procedure. Here are a few things to look for:
- Credible online reviews
- Years of experience
- Qualifications
- International standards of sterilization

Full-mouth dental implants in Mexico cost as low as $4,900. In contrast, the cost of a full-mouth restoration in the US and Canada is, respectively, $24,000 and $22,000.
When you do the math, you get between 70 – 80% savings. The price may vary with the brand of implants used.

So, we recommend asking the clinic beforehand.

The average cost of dental implants in Mexico can be up to 50 – 70% cheaper than in the US.

For Mexican dental students, their education is subsidized by the Mexican government. This debt disparity explains the difference in dental implant costs in Mexico vs. the USA.
