FAQs

Do they provide warranties or guarantees on treatments?

Yes. Written warranties are available and vary by procedure. Coverage typically includes materials and fit for restorations (crowns/veneers) and relevant prosthetic components for implant cases. Your Dental Departures coordinator will provide the clinic’s current written policy for your plan and travel dates.

Where is the clinic and how do I get there from the US side?

The Prostho Studio is a short walk from the Andrade–Los Algodones crossing. Many visitors park on the US side and walk across the pedestrian gate. From Yuma, AZ, drive about 20 minutes to the border; Uber/Lyft work well to reach US-side parking. The clinic can coordinate shuttle service—ask for the latest pickup points, schedules, and any fees.

What payment types are accepted?

Payment policies are confirmed at booking. Ask about cash vs. major cards (and any card surcharges), bank transfers, and accepted currencies. If you plan to submit for reimbursement at home, request an itemized invoice and supporting documents in advance.

Which languages are spoken?

Spanish and English are supported. Tell your coordinator your preference so you’re matched with English-speaking staff and your paperwork is prepared in your preferred language.

Is sedation available if I’m anxious?

Yes. IV sedation (by an anesthesiologist) can be arranged for suitable cases. Share your medical history early so pre-op instructions and any clearances are completed ahead of time. Plan to bring an escort on sedation day.

How long should I plan to stay for common treatments?
 

Many fillings/cleanings are same-day. Porcelain crowns/veneers typically take 1–3 days depending on lab time. Root canals often finish in 1 day; adding a crown may extend timing. All-on-4/5/6 full-arch cases are staged with a healing phase before the final bridge; your written plan will spell out each step.

What’s the advantage of the in-house lab?

Having technicians onsite speeds design and adjustments. It can reduce back-and-forth time, tighten quality control, and help the team deliver esthetics and bite fit that feel “right” sooner—useful when you’re coordinating care around travel.

Can the clinic help with logistics (border, rideshares, shuttles, hotels)?

Yes. Coordinators can advise on where to park on the US side, the smoothest walking route, Uber/Lyft options, any shuttle availability, and nearby hotels—so your appointments fit cleanly into your travel schedule.
