Dental treatments in Tijuana cost almost 70% less than in the United States and Canada–and some of our clients have seen even bigger savings. With the rising costs of dental care showing no signs of slowing down north of the US-Mexico border, more people are turning to alternative ways of obtaining the dental care they need – and a quick trip to Tijuana fits the bill.
In fact, dentist prices in Tijuana are so much lower that, for some who live near the border, even a simple check-up or filling is worth the trip.
Tijuana Dentist Prices Compared to US and Canadian Dentists
Tijuana dentist prices are extremely competitive compared to the US and Canada, but also with other dentists in Tijuana, which is good news for dental tourists.
Here is a quick price comparison for the most popular treatments in Tijuana against average prices in the US and Canada.

Even if you take into account the time and expense of driving or flying to Tijuana, then depending on the treatment you are having, it is still a workable solution to the high prices at home.
Low-cost Dental Care Doesn’t Equate to Low Quality in Tijuana
You may think there is a trade-off for the lower prices in Tijuana–which is that dentistry is unreliable and not of a high standard. Fortunately, this isn’t true if you do your research to find the best clinics. Many dentists in Mexico have undertaken training in the US and are likely to be American Dental Association members, like Dr. Dalia Dental Care.
Moreover, the clinics are fully-equipped with the newest technologies to help deliver cutting-edge treatments. Dental clinics like Harmony Dental Studio use 3D CT scanning for accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
Other top clinics listed on our site to browse through include:
Just because you are going to Tijuana doesn’t mean you should have to compromise on your dental care at all. Low prices do not mean low quality in Tijuana and, in fact, many patients who have made the trip to a Tijuana dentist have said that the care they received in Mexico superior to the care they’d received at home.
