FAQs

What warranties or guarantees are available on treatments?

Warranties are typically 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. Eligibility usually requires following the clinic’s written aftercare, attending maintenance visits as advised, and using protective devices, such as a night guard, if prescribed. Before you commit, we’ll obtain the clinic’s current written warranty for your exact plan, including what’s covered, the duration, any exclusions, and how repairs or replacements are handled.

Where is the clinic and how do I reach it?
 

Bridge Point Dental Clinic is in Nuevo Progreso, a few minutes’ walk from the Progreso International Bridge. Most travelers park in Progreso/Weslaco, Texas, walk across, and take a short taxi to the clinic. If you’re flying, McAllen International Airport is the closest airport; Harlingen and Brownsville are also convenient. We’ll share the GPS pin, walking route, taxi stand tips, and parking suggestions.

Which payment methods are accepted?
 

Border clinics commonly accept cash and major credit/debit cards; for larger plans, bank transfers may be available. Because accepted card brands, processor fees, and potential cash-discount policies can change, your advisor will confirm the exact accepted methods for your dates and note whether a deposit is required to reserve lab or surgical time.

What languages are spoken at the clinic?

Spanish and English are supported at reception and chairside. Tell us your preference at booking and we’ll schedule you with an English-speaking coordinator or clinician and provide bilingual consent and aftercare.

How long do implants or All-on-4/6 cases take?
 

These plans are typically two-visit treatments. Visit 1 handles diagnostics and implant placement, plus any graft or sinus lift, often organized in 2–4 days with a brief review. After healing, also called osseointegration, Visit 2 places abutments and the final crown or bridge. If grafting is needed, total timelines extend. Your coordinator will align visits to your travel window and discuss provisional teeth during healing.

Can I combine a root canal and crown in one trip?

Often, yes. When a post/core and permanent crown are included, plan on approximately 4–7 days. Many travelers wear a high-quality temporary while the final crown is fabricated. Timing depends on the tooth, infection control, and lab steps; your written plan will detail the sequence and review visit.

Is sedation dentistry available?

Yes—nitrous oxide, also called gas sedation, and IV sedation are available case-by-case. We’ll confirm suitability, fasting and escort requirements, and how many hours of chair time to reserve so your day runs smoothly.

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

With advance notice, the clinic can arrange x-rays, including single or panoramic images, and a same-day consultation, so you can review options, costs, and timelines in one visit. Sending recent images and medical/dental history ahead of time speeds planning and helps reduce total visits.
