FAQs

 

1. What warranties or guarantees are available?
 

Written guarantees are typically provided by procedure and may cover lab-made restorations, such as crowns and veneers, and implant components for a fixed period. Coverage usually depends on following aftercare instructions and attending routine checkups and cleanings. Before starting, ask Dental Departures to obtain the current policy in writing for your treatment plan, including what is covered, for how long, maintenance requirements, and any conditions that could void the warranty.

 

2. Where is the clinic and how do I reach it?

 

Almont Dental is in Zona Río near Plaza Río, about 5–10 minutes from the San Ysidro PedEast border crossing. Most travelers fly into San Diego International Airport, ride the trolley to San Ysidro Transit Center, walk across at PedEast, and then take Uber Mexico or a licensed taxi to the clinic area. If you fly into Tijuana International Airport, it is a short Uber or taxi ride. For drivers, many guests park on the US side and cross on foot to avoid border wait times on return.

 

3. Which payment types are accepted?
 

Payment options can vary by clinic and date. In Tijuana, clinics commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards, and some can arrange bank transfers. Because card brands, fees, and any cash discounts change occasionally, Dental Departures can confirm the exact accepted methods for your booking and whether a deposit is required for complex cases.

 

4. What languages are spoken at the clinic?
 

Bilingual coordination for English and Spanish is common in Zona Río clinics. Share your language needs when booking so Dental Departures can confirm English-speaking staff at your appointment and help ensure clear communication for consultations, consent forms, and aftercare.

 

5. How long do dental implants take?

 

Most implant plans follow two stages. Stage 1, implant placement, often fits into 1–2 days plus a brief check. Stage 2, the abutment and crown or bridge, occurs after osseointegration, which means healing and integration with the bone. If you need bone grafting or a sinus lift, overall timelines and visit counts can increase. Dental Departures can help map your schedule around flight windows and discuss temporary teeth while you heal.

 

6. Do they offer Invisalign® and other orthodontic options?

 

Yes, Invisalign® Full, Invisalign® Lite, and retainers are available. Dental Departures can coordinate a records appointment, including photos and scans, and provide a step-by-step estimate with expected aligner counts, refinements, check-in cadence, and post-treatment retainers aligned with your travel plans.

 

7. Is same-day diagnostics and planning possible?
 

Often, yes. The clinic can typically complete diagnostics, including consultation and necessary X-rays, and outline options during a short visit. Dental Departures can help pre-arrange imaging and time with the appropriate specialist so you can review plans and pricing in one sitting.

 

8. Are transportation or border pickups available?

 

Some clinics in Tijuana offer border-side coordination or local transfers by arrangement. Whether you choose rideshare or a pickup, Dental Departures can confirm the most reliable option for your appointment time and provide tips on the best crossing points and hours to minimize delays.

I was referred to Almont by a couple of close friends of mine from the San Francisco Bay Area a couple of months ago. I saw the great job they did and scheduled an appointment. Here is my experience. Arrived early because I knew there would be forms to complete. I was pleasantly surprised that they accept my American dental insurance, I wasn't expecting that. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable and I did not feel rushed as that has been my experience here in California. The Dentists took their time getting to know me and then started taking x-rays. Once they completed their exam, they presented me with suggestions that I was unaware of but had asked my previous dentist about in the past without getting a response. Almont put a plan together for me walked me through how each procedure is expected to go and just finished a second treatment of the plan. The team at Almont follows up with me after any appointment to check how I am and if I have any questions. My experience has been a great one, I plan of staying with them as long as they are in practice.
