The short answer
What a dental implant is, in plain words
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is placed in the jawbone, the bone grows around it over the following months, and then a crown, a bridge or a full set of teeth is fixed on top. At Dental Express, implant placement starts at $8,900 MXN (about $510 USD) in Puerto Vallarta and Ajijic, and your full price is confirmed in writing before you travel.
- It replaces the root, not just the visible tooth — that is the difference from a regular bridge
- Neighbouring teeth are not filed down to hold it
- It does not come out at night like a removable denture
- One implant can hold one tooth; a few implants can hold a whole arch
Whether implants are right for you depends on your bone and gums, and that can only be seen on a 3D scan. If you already have a recent X-ray or CBCT from home, send it and we will tell you what is possible before you plan the trip.
Which one is you?
Implant options for every situation
Start from your situation, not from the technical name. We confirm the right option after your 3D scan.
Several teeth missing
Implant-supported bridge
Two or more implants hold a fixed bridge, so you don't need one implant per tooth.
Quoted after your 3D scandepends on how many teeth and implants
All teeth, upper or lower
Full-arch implants (All-on-4, All-on-6)
A complete fixed set of teeth held by four to six implants, made in our own dental lab. You don't take it out.
Quoted after your 3D scanthe plan shows the number of implants and visits
A denture that moves
Implant-supported denture (“snap-on”)
Your denture clips onto implants so it stays in place when you eat and talk.

How much do dental implants cost in Mexico?
At Dental Express, placing a dental implant starts at $8,900 MXN (about $510 USD). These are starting prices for each step, not the price of a complete treatment: a single implant usually combines the 3D scan, the placement and the crown. You don't need to leave your email to see them.
| Treatment | Price from | Time in the clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Dental implant placement | $8,900 MXN ≈ $510 USD | 1 day (surgery) |
| Zirconia crown | $4,800 MXN ≈ $275 USD | Same day, made in our lab |
| 3D scan (CBCT) | $1,100 MXN ≈ $63 USD | Same day |
| Complete denture | $6,900 MXN ≈ $397 USD | 2–8 days |
| Full arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6) | Written quote after your scan | Shown in your plan |
Your final cost depends on how many implants you need and on your bone, and it is confirmed in writing before you travel. A diagnostic X-ray is required before treatment under Mexican health standard NOM-013-SSA2; it is included in your quote so nothing appears as a surprise at the desk. U.S. dollar amounts are approximate.
How it works
How many trips do dental implants take?
Most implant cases take two trips: one to place the implant and one, a few months later, to fit the final teeth. Your written plan tells you exactly how many days each one needs.

Questions patients ask
Dental implants in Mexico: frequent questions
How much do dental implants cost in Mexico?
At Dental Express, placing a dental implant starts at $8,900 MXN (about $510 USD), in both Puerto Vallarta and Ajijic. A zirconia crown starts at $4,800 MXN (about $275 USD); the crown for your implant is quoted in your plan.
These are starting prices for each step, not the cost of a complete treatment: a single implant usually combines the 3D scan, the placement and the crown. Full-arch cases such as All-on-4 are quoted after a 3D scan, because the number of implants depends on your bone. You receive the full price in writing before you travel.
Is it safe to get dental implants in Mexico?
Safety depends on the clinic, not on the country. Wherever you go, check that the clinic is registered with the health authority, that a licensed dentist is responsible for it, that the implant is planned on a 3D scan and that you receive a written treatment plan.
Dental Express operates under COFEPRIS operating notice 2514045036X00093. Its responsible dentist is Dr. Edgard Macías Solano, professional licence 6593140 (Universidad de Guadalajara), and implants are planned on a CBCT scan taken in the clinic.
How many trips do I need for dental implants in Mexico?
Most cases take two trips: one to place the implant and one, a few months later, to fit the final crown, bridge or denture. Your written plan tells you how many days each trip needs before you book a flight.
How long does an implant take to heal?
Usually a few months. During that time the bone grows around the implant and holds it firmly; only then is the final tooth fixed on top. You spend that time at home, not in Mexico.
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a full set of fixed teeth for the upper or lower jaw held by four implants; All-on-6 uses six. It replaces all the teeth in that arch with teeth you do not take out. Dental Express makes the full arch in its own dental lab. Whether you can have it, and with how many implants, depends on your bone, which is checked on a 3D scan.
I already wear dentures. Can implants help?
Often, yes. Two common options are an implant-supported (“snap-on”) denture, which clips onto implants so it stays in place, and a fixed full arch such as All-on-4. Which one suits you depends on your bone. Complete dentures at Dental Express start at $6,900 MXN (about $397 USD).
Puerto Vallarta or Ajijic: which clinic should I choose?
Both clinics offer implants with the same starting prices. Puerto Vallarta suits patients who combine treatment with a beach stay; Ajijic, on Lake Chapala, is about 45 minutes from Guadalajara airport (GDL) and suits patients who live in the area or fly into Guadalajara.
What should I send to get a quote?
A photo of your smile and any X-ray or 3D scan you already have, plus a line about your situation and when you could travel. Mention any medical conditions and the medicines you take. With that we reply with the likely option and a written price.
