Looking for safe, reliable dental care at a fraction of the price back home? Then look toward the border town of Los Algodones and save between 50%-80% when booking with Dental Departures.

Dubbed “Molar City” thanks to the fact that more than 300 clinics can be found across this one small Arizona border town, you can save thousands of dollars on top-notch, low-cost dental treatment in the world’s dentistry capital.

Moments from the US border, Los Algodones provides a gateway to exploring Mexico, both pre and post-treatment, making it convenient for American and Canadian dental travelers.

Why Choose Los Algodones For Dental Treatment?

Many cross-border patients are now heading into Mexico to receive same-day treatment to further benefit from high-quality, affordable care.

Boasting more than 900 dentists, patients across the United States and Canada flock to this northern Mexican dental hub, saving considerably on dental treatment, not to mention inexpensive prescription drugs, vision care and other low-cost medical care.
