FAQs

 

Do you offer warranties or guarantees on treatments?

 

Yes. Lab-fabricated work, such as crowns, veneers and dentures, includes written coverage from the clinic and/or the partner lab. Coverage terms specify duration, maintenance requirements, such as attending checkups or using night guards when prescribed, and exclusions. Implant components carry manufacturer warranties when applicable, and your plan will spell out what is covered.

 

Where are you located and how do I get there from the US side?

 

The clinic is in Mexicali, close to the Calexico port of entry. Many guests park in Calexico, walk across the border, and take Uber, Didi or a local taxi to the clinic. Others drive into Mexicali and use nearby parking. Your booking confirmation includes a map pin and the fastest route based on the time of day.

 

What payment types do you accept?

 

Visa, Mastercard and cash are accepted. For larger treatment plans, such as implants or full-mouth work, you can confirm deposit amounts or staged payments beforehand so everything is smooth on arrival.

 

Which languages are spoken at the clinic?

 

English and Spanish are available for consultations, consent forms and post-op instructions. If you need extra language support, mention it when booking and the team will try to accommodate.

 

How do you handle sterilization and safety?

 

Alcala Dental follows international infection-control protocols, using steam autoclaves for instrument sterilization, barrier techniques and pre-procedure hygiene steps. Digital X-rays help minimize radiation exposure while keeping diagnostics clear.

 

Can you coordinate multi-specialty care in one plan?

 

Yes. With periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics and prosthodontics under one roof, the team can stage care efficiently, treating gum health, restoring teeth and aligning your bite as needed. This reduces extra trips and keeps your schedule traveler-friendly.

 

Do you provide whitening and cosmetic smile upgrades?

 

Yes. In-office ZOOM! whitening is available, as well as porcelain veneers, zirconia and full-porcelain crowns, and bonding. Your dentist will review shade goals, enamel thickness and bite to recommend the right option.
