FAQs

What warranties or guarantees does the clinic provide?

Warranties are usually procedure-specific and most often cover lab-made restorations, such as crowns, veneers, bridges, and dentures, and, when stated, implant components for a defined period. To keep coverage valid, patients typically must follow written aftercare, attend maintenance visits, and use a protective night guard if prescribed. Before treatment begins, your coordinator will provide the clinic’s current written warranty for your plan, including inclusions, duration, exclusions, and how repair or replacement is handled.

Where exactly is the clinic and how do I get there?

The practice is located at Joaquí Angulo 2652, Guadalajara. From Guadalajara International Airport (GDL), plan about 35–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. For easy door-to-door transport, use Uber or DiDi; licensed city taxis are also available. After booking, you will receive the GPS pin, the most convenient approach roads, and drop-off or parking suggestions near the single-storey, wheelchair-friendly entrance.

Which payment methods are accepted?

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards; larger treatment plans may allow bank transfer. Because accepted card brands, processor fees, and potential cash-discount policies can change, your Dental Departures advisor will confirm the exact options for your dates and whether a deposit is required to reserve lab or surgical time.

What languages are spoken at the clinic?

Spanish is the primary language. If you prefer English, let Dental Departures know when booking. Dental Departures can assist with bilingual coordination, English-language paperwork where available, and clear aftercare instructions.

How long does a root canal with a crown take at this clinic?

Timing depends on the tooth and complexity, but a straightforward root canal is often planned over 1–3 days. If a post, core, and permanent crown are included, allow about 3–5 days total to cover clinical steps and lab fabrication. Your itinerary will map each step so you can plan flights comfortably.

Can I complete an implant and crown in one trip?

Most single-tooth implants are two-stage. Visit one includes diagnostics and implant placement, plus a bone graft or sinus lift if required. Healing then takes place during the osseointegration period, which is when the implant bonds with the jawbone. Visit two includes the abutment and final crown, with a few days allowed for lab work. For full-arch solutions, the clinic lists typical first-stage chair time of about 2–3 days and second-stage chair time of about 8 days once healing is complete. Your coordinator will align visits to your schedule and discuss temporary options during healing.

Do you offer same-day diagnostics and a written plan?

Yes. With prior notice, the clinic can arrange an exam and indicated x-rays the same day and provide a written estimate so you can compare options quickly. Sending recent records before you travel often shortens overall treatment time.
