If you are here, you are probably American or Canadian and are looking for the dental implant & all-on-4 cost in Mexico.
The United States of America & Canada are thought to be 2 of the greatest countries in the world in terms of the quality of life it provides to their citizens. In the US & Canada, we have everything that anyone could ever want. Shopping malls, nice cars, houses, restaurants, civil rights, freedoms of speech, and a world-class modern health care system that is second to none. If a woman is struggling to have a child, if an injured person wants to have a limb replaced, or if someone is suffering from a rare type of cancer, the US medical system can probably solve any number of these complex medical problems.
However, living in the United States and enjoying the high quality of life it provides comes with costs. Healthcare costs in the United States are much higher than most other developed countries in the world. The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that national health expenditures were 17.7% of America’s GDP in 2018. Due to the fact that America is home to some of the world’s leading scientists, multi-million dollar research corporations, and medical tech firms that are constantly doing R&D to bring new medical technology to the market, healthcare in the United States is actually more expensive than most other developed countries in the world.

Why not just get the best dental implant or all-on-4 on the market?
If the price was not an issue and we all had the net worths of the people we see on the covers of Forbes Magazines, then most of us would probably opt to live in 3 story mansions, drive exotic sports cars, and maybe even own a yacht, a private plane, and maybe even our own private island…right?! However, as nice as that fantasy sounds, the reality is that most of us live normal lives, jobs, families, mortgages, car payments, kids in school, and have to make careful choices about our expenditures.
This brings the question of what do we do when we have a medical condition and cannot afford to pay for treatments in the United States or Canada? Dental implant cases can sometimes be just as expensive as serious medical care in the USA. These are almost one-in-the-same financially. Just ask David, one of our patients from Idaho. He came to us because the dental implant & all-on-4 cost in Mexico was much better than Idaho.
In life, things happen that cause us to have an unhealthy dentition (teeth). Car accidents, falling, work accidents, or simply not growing up with an awareness of proper hygiene, can cause serious health problems later in life. When teeth go missing, some people think that they can leave that space empty without serious health repercussions.
This could not be further from the truth
Since the average human bite can create up to 70 + pounds of force, having a space where a tooth should be can risk displacing healthy teeth. This can even lead to bone loss in that area as well. If this problem is not solved early on, it can cause detrimental problems in the future.
The most viable solution to a missing tooth is to get a dental implant.
What is the Dental Implant Process in Mexico?
The dentist will attach to your jaw a metal root (implant) and place on top a fake tooth (crown). We call this procedure, a dental implant. Since this procedure is non-life threatening and non-essential to one’s immediate health, it considered a cosmetic procedure. In other words, medical or dental insurance policies don’t cover this procedure.
This procedure has an average cost of $3,000 -$7,000 per tooth in the United States. If a patient needs general anesthesia, bone grafting, or medications, there are additional costs. According to Forbes, full arch dental implant procedures in the United States can range from $30,000 – $90,000. This is crazy, and very different from the dental implant & all-on-4 cost in Mexico.
For the majority of us normal working Americans, the cost of dental implants can seem very intimidating. The mere thought of having to pay for something that can possibly cost up to $90,000 would cause most of us to lose sleep at night. However, as intimidating as it may sound, the fact is that when we have a problem that is affecting the quality of our lives and causing us pain, it can develop into very serious problems later on in life. At that point, we have no choice except to find a way to solve it. The longer a patient waits, the more serious the problem becomes.
Getting your Dental Care in Mexico, the South of the Border Solution
The cost of all-on-4 dental implants can be quite expensive in the United States and Canada. The most practical way to solve this problem is to look for dental care in other countries. Dental care in Mexico happens to be high quality, affordable, and a very well-established industry in the country that specializes in doing complex procedures for visiting guests from other countries. Many patients often tell us that we are more advanced than the clinics in their home countries. If you opt to get dental treatments at one of our clinics in Mexico, you will be under the care of very dedicated and qualified doctors who have access to the best tools that exist in our industry. It is very important to understand that similar to being in the USA, Canada, or any other place in the world, the quality of goods and services will vary depending on the price.
One advantage to traveling to Mexico for dental care is that the US dollar exchange rate to the Mexican Peso is around 20.43 MEX$ to every $1 USD, so that means when traveling to get dental treatments in Mexico using $USD as a primary currency, then it will give one a significant amount of buying power that affords access to higher quality care. You can receive materials and procedures for more affordable prices that would normally cost 10, 20, or even 50 times more than in the United States. Dental implant & all-on-4 cost in Mexico differs significantly.
Comparing Dental Implants & All-on-4 in Mexico to the USA
Despite Mexico being a developing country, it actually has high a standard of living, especially in the major cities. Mexico has access to the latest modern medical and dental technology and a very reputable national medical education system that produces qualified and professional doctors. Unlike the United States which has many medical schools throughout, Mexico requires all doctors to attend a limited set of universities. This even goes to the extent that there are two major dental schools in Mexico that are accredited by the California Dental Association. The standards used within USA dental schools are similar to the ones used in Mexico. Mexico is a great option for patients traveling from the USA and Canada because:
• Mexico has access to the latest dental technology.
• The American Dental Association accredits high-quality dental educations programs in Mexico.
• Aspiring doctors undergo their dental education and certification programs in English, therefore there will be no problem with a language barrier.
• Doctors in Mexico are required to continue their education after graduation.
• Compared to the USA, getting an all-on-4, all-on-6, or even a simple crown will save you money. This means that the dental implant & all-on-4 cost in Mexico are more affordable.
We understand that traveling abroad for a dental procedure can be intimidating. At SOTA Dental, we aim to make the process as easy and seamless as possible.
