FAQs

Do they offer written warranties or guarantees on treatments?

Yes. Written warranties are available and vary by procedure, typically covering materials and fit for restorations (e.g., crowns/veneers) and appropriate prosthetic components for implants. Your Dental Departures coordinator will provide the clinic’s current written policy for your treatment plan and dates.

Where is the clinic and how do I reach it from the U.S. side?
 

The Dental Corner is in Los Algodones, a few minutes’ walk from the Andrade–Los Algodones crossing near Yuma, AZ. Most visitors park on the US side and walk across the pedestrian gate. Uber/Lyft are convenient for reaching US-side parking lots; follow posted signs to the crossing and the clinic zone.

What payment types are accepted?

Payment options are confirmed at booking. Ask about cash vs. major cards (and any card surcharges), wire/bank transfers, and accepted currencies. If you plan to submit for reimbursement at home, request an itemized invoice.

Which languages are spoken?
 

English and Spanish. Tell your coordinator your preference so you’re matched with English-speaking staff and receive documents in your preferred language.

Is IV sedation available?

Yes. IV sedation (provided by an anesthesiologist) can be arranged for suitable cases. Share your medical history early so pre-op instructions and any medical clearances are organized; bring an escort on sedation day.

How long do common treatments take?

Cleanings/fillings are often same-day. Crowns/veneers typically take 2 days depending on lab time. Root canals often finish in 1 day; adding a crown may extend timing. All-on-4/5/6 full-arch cases are staged with a healing phase before final teeth.

What technology is used for planning?

CT/3D imaging, panoramic X-rays, and digital smile design with computer photography help the team plan precisely and deliver comfortable, natural-looking results.

Can the clinic help with travel logistics?

Yes. Coordinators can advise on US-side parking, border tips, and rideshare options (Uber/Lyft) so your appointments fit smoothly into a day trip or short stay.
