FAQs

What warranties or guarantees are available?

Warranties are typically procedure-specific and most often cover lab-made restorations, such as crowns, veneers, bridges, and dentures, and, when indicated, implant components for a set period. To keep coverage valid, you’ll need to follow written aftercare, attend checkups as advised, and use protective devices, such as a night guard, if prescribed. Before you begin, your advisor will request the current written warranty for your exact plan, including what’s covered, for how long, exclusions, and how repairs or replacements are handled.

Where is the clinic and how do I reach it?

The clinic is in Agua Prieta, Sonora, directly across from Douglas, Arizona. Most travelers park in Douglas, walk across the port of entry, and take a short local taxi to the clinic. From Tucson International Airport, allow about 2 hours 15 minutes to the border; from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, about 3 hours 45 minutes; from El Paso International Airport, roughly 3 hours 50 minutes. We’ll share the GPS pin, walking route, and taxi stand tips. If you prefer to drive in Mexico, we’ll provide local parking notes.

Which payment methods are accepted?

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

What languages are spoken at the clinic?
 

Spanish is standard. English support for cross-border patients is commonly available; please tell us your preference so we can schedule accordingly and prepare bilingual consent and aftercare.

How long do dental implants or full-arch cases take?

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

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

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

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

With notice, the clinic can organize x-rays, including single and 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 can reduce total visits.

Is there a shuttle service from the border or hotels?
 

Yes. The clinic lists free border shuttle and hotel transfers for patient convenience, subject to scheduling. When we book your visit, we’ll confirm pickup points, times, and return arrangements and include them in your itinerary.
