SAVE UP TO 70% OFF U.S. PRICES. SPECIAL MTC-NEGOTIATED DISCOUNTS.
Dental tourism in Mexico is expanding rapidly. Getting your teeth fixed at MTC’s clinics here comes with many advantages.
Some of these are affordable dental treatment and high-quality services. Proximity to the United States and Canada is another advantage.
There are many reasons why US and Canadian citizens are looking across the border for dental treatment. The following the factors contribute to the rise of dental tourism:
Factors | U.S. | Mexico |
---|---|---|
Cost | High | Low. Save 50-70% off US prices |
Treatment Standards | Top-quality | Internationally accredited |
Accessibility | Long waiting time | No waiting time |
Another reason is that many U.S. citizens do not have dental insurance. The best dentists south of the border offer the lowest prices. This is why Americans and Canadians are seeking dental care here.
Dental procedures such as all-on-4 dental implants may cost you around $20,000 in the U.S. The same cost between $8,950-12,475 at an MTC clinic in Mexico.
Similarly, a full denture, acrylic teeth (upper or lower) may cost $2000 in the U.S. It costs between $250-965 at an MTC clinic in the Latin American country.

As a matter of fact, most dental clinics in Mexico prefer payment in cash by way of US$. However, they also accept travelers’ checks, personal checks, and credit cards.
A small processing fee of around 3-4% is charged on credit card payments. We recommend that you inquire beforehand whether the clinic accepts credit cards as a mode of payment.
The clinics in Mexico receive a large number of dental tourists from the U.S. and Canada during the winters. This is from December-March. Should you decide to visit during this time, remember that waiting time at the border can be long.
You will need to fix your appointment ahead of time. In summers, the border lines have thinned out. Early fall and late spring are also good seasons to get your teeth fixed at an MTC clinic in Mexico.
