Expect a welcoming environment with organized treatment steps. Many restorative and cosmetic cases can be planned over a few days, while implant cases often involve two stages: placement, then restoration after healing.

Your Dental Departures advisor can coordinate imaging and map out visits around your flights.

Getting There: Simple Cross-Border Directions

• Fly to San Diego International Airport, also known as SAN, or Tijuana International Airport, also known as TIJ.
• From SAN, take the San Diego Trolley to San Ysidro Transit Center, then walk across at PedEast.
• On the Mexico side, use Uber Mexico or a licensed taxi to the clinic area in Tijuana.
• From TIJ, rideshare and taxi rides are typically short and direct.

FAQs

1. What warranties or guarantees are available?
 

Guarantees are typically provided by procedure and can cover lab-made restorations, such as crowns and veneers, or implant components for a defined period.

Coverage normally requires following aftercare instructions and attending routine hygiene visits. Before treatment begins, ask us to obtain the current written policy for your plan, including what is included, how long it lasts, required maintenance, and conditions that could void coverage.

2. Where is the clinic and how do I reach it?

TDW Dental is in Tijuana, Baja California, a short ride from the San Ysidro PedEast crossing. Most travelers fly to San Diego International Airport, ride the trolley to San Ysidro, walk across, then take Uber Mexico or a licensed taxi.

If you fly to Tijuana International Airport, the clinic area is a straightforward rideshare or taxi trip away. For drivers, many guests park on the US side and cross on foot to avoid delays on the return.

3. Which payment types are accepted?
 

Payment options can vary by date and clinic policy. In Tijuana, clinics commonly accept cash and major cards, with occasional bank transfer options.

Because card brands, fees, and any cash discounts can change, Dental Departures can confirm exact accepted methods for your booking and whether a deposit is required for complex cases.

4. What languages are spoken at the clinic?
 

Clinics serving international patients in Tijuana typically offer English and Spanish support across reception and chairside care.

Tell Dental Departures your language preference when booking so clear communication can be arranged for consultations, consent, and aftercare.

5. How long do dental implants take?

Most plans require two stages. Stage 1, implant placement, can often be completed over 1 to 2 days with a brief check, while Stage 2, abutment plus crown or bridge, follows after healing.

If bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed, timelines and visit counts may increase. Dental Departures can map your plan around flight windows and discuss temporary solutions while you heal.

6. Can I get same-day diagnostics and a treatment plan?

Often, yes. TDW Dental can typically complete the consultation and necessary imaging quickly so you can review options and timelines in one visit.

Ask Dental Departures to pre-arrange x-rays and records for faster turnaround.

7. Do they provide orthodontics, including braces and clear options?

Yes. Metal and clear braces cases are accepted.

Dental Departures can coordinate a records appointment, including photos and scans, outline adjustment visits and expected treatment time, and review retainer steps after active treatment.
