About Dental Project Mexico

Dental Project Mexico is a full-scope clinic in Tijuana offering everything from checkups and cleanings to dental implants, All-on-4/6, root canals, orthodontics, periodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and pediatric care.

Trusted, Bilingual Care Minutes from the US Border

 

The team highlights 15+ years of clinical experience, bilingual service, and complimentary transportation from the Tijuana border or San Diego International Airport (SAN)—a big plus for cross-border travelers.

 

Why Patients Choose Dental Project Mexico

 

  • Border-close & convenient: Central Tijuana location, a short hop from the San Ysidro PedEast crossing.
  • Comprehensive menu: Implants, including single and full-arch options, crowns and veneers, root canals, braces, dentures, gum care, and kids’ dentistry.
  • Experienced team: Certified, bilingual clinicians with 15+ years of practice.
  • Traveler support: Free border or SAN transfers, clear timelines, and organized case coordination.

 

Popular Treatments

 

  • Dental implants, including standard titanium implants, All-on-4/6, and snap-on overdentures.
  • Crowns and veneers, including zirconia, porcelain, and temporary options.
  • Root canal therapy for anterior teeth, premolars, and molars, with post/core and crown options.
  • Orthodontics, including metal braces, Damon®/clear options, retainers, and TMJ therapy.
  • Cleanings, whitening, fillings, and extractions.
  • Diagnostics, including consultations, panoramic x-rays, and 3D CT imaging.
  • Gum procedures, including frenectomy, gingivectomy, and gingivoplasty.

 

Patient Experience

 

Expect a friendly, bilingual team, step-by-step explanations, and written aftercare. Many cosmetic and restorative cases fit into a few days, while most implant plans are completed in two stages: placement, healing, and final teeth.

Sharing recent x-rays ahead of time can help speed up planning and make the first visit more efficient.

 

Getting There: Simple Cross-Border Directions

 

  • Fly to San Diego International Airport (SAN) or Tijuana International Airport (TIJ).
  • From SAN: Ride the San Diego Trolley to San Ysidro Transit Center, then walk across at PedEast.
  • On the Mexico side: Use Uber Mexico, a licensed taxi, or request the clinic’s complimentary transfer from the border or SAN.
  • From TIJ: Rideshare or taxi is typically about 10–20 minutes to the clinic area.
  • Driving? Many visitors park on the U.S. side and cross on foot to simplify the return.

 

How to Book

 

Dental Departures Customer Care will secure quotes, confirm the free transfer, and align appointments with your flight and hotel dates at no extra charge.

 

FAQs

 

What warranties or guarantees are available?
 

Guarantees are usually procedure-specific, covering lab-made restorations such as crowns and veneers, as well as implant components for a defined period.

Coverage typically requires following aftercare instructions and attending routine cleanings and checkups. Before treatment, ask Dental Departures to obtain the current written warranty for your exact plan, including what’s covered, for how long, how repairs or replacements work, and exclusions that could void coverage.

 

Where is the clinic and how do I reach it?

 

Dental Project Mexico is in central Tijuana, just minutes from the San Ysidro PedEast border crossing.

From San Diego International Airport (SAN), take the trolley to San Ysidro, walk across, and use Uber Mexico or a licensed taxi. You can also request the clinic’s complimentary shuttle from the border or SAN. From Tijuana International Airport (TIJ), rideshare or taxi is a short, direct trip. Many travelers park on the U.S. side and cross on foot to simplify the return.

 

Which payment types are accepted?
 

Clinics in this area commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards; some can arrange bank transfers.

Because card brands, processing fees, and any cash discounts can change, Dental Departures can confirm the exact accepted methods for your booking and whether a deposit is required for lab work or surgical time.

 

What languages are spoken at the clinic?
 

You can expect English and Spanish across reception and chairside care.

Share your language preference when booking so Dental Departures can help schedule you with an English-speaking dentist and coordinator for smooth consultations and aftercare.

 

How long do dental implants take?

 

Most dental implant plans run in two stages. Stage one, implant placement, often fits into one to two days with a short follow-up. Stage two, which includes the abutment and crown or bridge, happens after healing, also called osseointegration.

If you need bone grafting or a sinus lift, timelines may extend. Dental Departures can help map visits around your flights and discuss temporary teeth while you heal.

 

Is complimentary transportation available?

 

Yes. The clinic offers free transfers from the Tijuana border or San Diego Airport (SAN) to the clinic and back, subject to scheduling.

Dental Departures can confirm pickup windows and meeting points when booking your appointment.

 

Can I get same-day diagnostics and a plan?
 

Often, yes. With advance notice, the clinic can arrange panoramic or 3D CT imaging and a consultation on the same day so you can review options, timelines, and a quote in one visit.

Sharing recent x-rays in advance can shorten the appointment.

 

Do they treat children and provide orthodontics?

 

Yes. The team treats kids and adults, with pediatric-friendly care and orthodontic options, including metal and Damon®/clear braces.

Dental Departures can help set up a records appointment, including photos and scans, explain adjustment or aligner check-ins that fit your trips, and plan retainers after active treatment.

My experience with Dr. Laura Plaza and Dr. Miguel Ramirez and the ancillary staff was and continues to be excellent in every way, professionalism, quality and responsibility. They did all the upper part of my mouth with implants and it was beautiful. I am super satisfied with the work done, soon I will do another job in the lower part of the mouth, I recommend them 100. Thank you

My wife and I are extremely satisfied with Dental Project. They are the best dentists we have ever experienced. Extremely professional and very friendly. They explained everything in detail. They treat you like family. I needed extensive restoration on all my teeth. I was afraid it was too late to save them. They were able to restore them with zirconia crowns and the results are amazing, both aesthetically and functionally. My wife was missing almost all of her molars and was chewing with her front teeth. She also needed two extractions. Dr. Miguel replaced all the missing teeth with individual implants. She can now eat anything without pain. The price was very affordable. Thank you to Dr. Miguel, Paola, Regina, Laura, Camila and the dental assistants and office for providing such exceptional services and results. Your dedication, honesty and expert dentistry is greatly appreciated.
