FAQs

What warranties or guarantees does the clinic provide?

Warranties are typically procedure-specific and most often cover lab-made restorations, such as crowns, veneers, bridges, and dentures, and, when stated, implant components for a defined period. To keep coverage valid, you’ll need to follow the clinic’s written aftercare, attend maintenance visits as advised, and use protective devices, for example, a night guard, if prescribed. Before treatment, we’ll share the current written warranty for your exact plan, including what’s covered, how long, exclusions, and how repairs or replacements are handled.

Where is the clinic and how do I get there?

The clinic is in Ajijic, Chapala, Jalisco, on the north shore of Lake Chapala, about 35–50 minutes by car from Guadalajara International Airport. Most visitors take an airport taxi, shuttle, or rideshare directly to Ajijic; street and lot parking are available near the clinic. We provide the GPS pin, best route from Guadalajara International Airport, and local parking tips with your booking.

Which payment methods are accepted?
 

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit/debit cards. For larger plans, bank transfer may be available. Because accepted card brands, processor fees, and possible cash-discount policies can change, we’ll confirm the exact payment options for your dates and whether a deposit is required to reserve surgical or lab time.

What languages are spoken at the clinic?

Spanish and English support are available. Tell us your preference at booking and we’ll schedule with an English-speaking coordinator or clinician and prepare bilingual consent and aftercare.

How long do dental implants or All-on-4 cases take?
 

Most implant plans are two-visit treatments. Visit 1 includes diagnostics and implant placement, with bone grafting or sinus lift if needed, often organized within 2–4 days plus a short review. After healing, also called osseointegration, Visit 2 includes the abutment and final crown or bridge. All-on-4/6 full-arch timelines vary by bone quality and whether grafting is needed—your written plan will map visits to your travel window and discuss provisional teeth during healing.

Can I finish a root canal and crown in one trip?
 

Often, yes. If a post/core and a permanent crown are included, plan roughly 4–7 days for clinical and lab steps. Many travelers wear a high-quality temporary while the final crown is fabricated. Your treatment plan will spell out the sequence and chair time.

Do you offer same-day diagnostics and planning?

With notice, the clinic can arrange x-rays or 3D imaging, as indicated, and a same-day consultation, so you can review options, timelines, and a written estimate in one visit. Sharing recent images and medical/dental history ahead of time speeds planning and may reduce total visits.
