FAQs

Do you offer warranties or guarantees on treatments?

Yes. Studiodent provides written coverage on lab-made work, including crowns, veneers, bridges and dentures, and honors manufacturer warranties on implant components where applicable. Your plan outlines duration, required maintenance, such as professional cleanings, checkups and night guard use if prescribed, and exclusions. Keeping up with aftercare helps preserve coverage.

Where exactly are you, and what’s the easiest way to get there?

Studiodent sits in Mexicali, a few minutes from the Calexico, California border. Many guests park on the US side, cross on foot, and take Uber or a local taxi. Others drive directly and use clinic parking. Your Dental Departures confirmation includes a GPS pin and simple, turn-by-turn directions from the crossing.

What payment types do you accept?

Visa, cash and bank transfer are accepted. For larger implant or orthodontic plans, the team can confirm deposit requirements and any processor or transfer fees in advance so you can budget with confidence.

Which languages are spoken?

Consultations, consent and aftercare are available in English and Spanish. If you need another language, note it when booking so accommodations can be arranged.

How long do All-on-4 or All-on-6 full-arch treatments take?

Timelines vary by case, but plans typically include diagnostics, implant surgery and a provisional bridge during healing, followed by try-ins and final delivery. The on-site lab helps condense visits and speed adjustments, making cross-border scheduling easier.

Can you coordinate root canals or gum therapy before crowns or implants?

Yes. The team stabilizes any endodontic or periodontal issues first to protect long-term function and aesthetics. Your staged plan shows how each step, including cleaning, root canal treatment, gum therapy and restoration, fits together.

Do you provide sedation options?

Yes. IV sedation by an anesthesiologist is available for longer or anxiety-provoking procedures. The team reviews medical history, pre-op instructions and post-visit recovery so you can plan transportation and downtime.
