FAQs

 

Do they offer written warranties or guarantees on treatments?

 

Yes. Warranty terms are procedure-specific and typically cover materials and fit for restorations, like crowns/veneers, and defined components for implant cases. Your Dental Departures coordinator will share the current written policy for your plan and note any maintenance, like checkups or proper hygiene, required to keep coverage valid.

 

Where exactly is Dental Progreso and how do I get there from Texas?
 

The clinic is in Nuevo Progreso, steps from the Progreso International Bridge. Many patients park on the U.S. side, walk across with a passport, and follow our map pin. If you prefer not to walk, take Uber/Lyft to the bridge and a short taxi/rideshare on the Mexico side to the clinic.

 

What payment types are accepted?
 

Payment methods are confirmed at booking. Ask about cash versus major debit/credit cards, any card surcharge, bank/wire transfers, and accepted currencies such as USD/MXN. If you plan to submit for reimbursement at home, request an itemized invoice with procedure codes and the treating doctor’s details.

 

Which languages are spoken at the clinic?

 

Tell us your preference and we’ll confirm language support and arrange English-speaking assistance and documents for your dates so everything feels easy.

 

What are the clinic hours?

 

Your coordinator will confirm hours for your dates and reserve appointments that align with flights, border times, and your treatment plan.

 

How long do common treatments take?

 

Cleanings/fillings are often same-day. Crowns/veneers usually take 2–5 days including design and lab work. Root canals generally fit 1–3 days, depending on the tooth. Implants are staged, with a healing period before the final teeth; we’ll outline visit windows and the number of trips.

 

Do they provide sedation?
 

Yes. The profile lists nitrous, also known as laughing gas, and IV sedation per hour with an anesthesiologist for suitable cases. Your dentist will assess candidacy and discuss the plan before treatment.

 

What should I bring to cross the border?
 

Bring a valid passport, a copy of your booking/itinerary, and any medical/dental records or X-rays you have. Wear comfortable shoes for the short walk and consider small bills in USD or MXN for taxis or tips.
