Dental implants in Mexico
Clinics in Mexican border towns and resort cities place implants for a fraction of US fees, most often for patients who drive or fly in from the US.
- A single implant in Mexico
- $1,250 to $1,750, including a crown
- In Mexico: All-on-4
- $7,550 to $13,150 for each arch
- US: One implant
- Per tooth: $3,000 to $6,000
One implant with a crown in Mexico lands about $3,000 (67%) below the US midpoint of $4,500 when you take the middle of the published ranges. That figure leaves out flights, a hotel, and a second visit. Dental Departures, retrieved November 1, 2026.
