Tamaulipas · Border crossing at Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge
Opposite McAllen, one of the busiest crossings on the Texas border. The Hidalgo bridge is the walkable one and lands near the dental and pharmacy district; the Pharr and Anzaldúas bridges are for drivers.
Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge, opposite McAllen and Hidalgo, Texas
McAllen, the Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio
Same advisory as Matamoros: check the current US State Department level for Tamaulipas, cross in daylight, and stay near the bridge. Ask the practice which bridge to use; waits differ and Hidalgo is the one set up for pedestrians.
What each procedure involves, what it costs, and how many trips it takes. Prices are the part worth reading twice: a quote that beats every other quote in town is usually quoting a different procedure.

Reynosa is a land border crossing at Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge, opposite McAllen and Hidalgo, Texas. Same advisory as Matamoros: check the current US State Department level for Tamaulipas, cross in daylight, and stay near the bridge. Ask the practice which bridge to use; waits differ and Hidalgo is the one set up for pedestrians. Check the CBP border wait times page on the morning you travel, because the wait is the least predictable part of the day.
Ask for the cédula profesional number and the name exactly as it appears on it, then look both up in the Registro Nacional de Profesionistas. That licence is what makes dental practice legal in Mexico at all, and it is public record. Every dentist listed here has their number published with the date it was confirmed, so the check can be repeated rather than taken on trust.
To re-enter the United States, yes: a passport, passport card, or an enhanced driver's licence from a state that issues them. Canadians need a passport. Going into Mexico is the easy part; the document is for the return.
It depends entirely on the procedure. A crown or a root canal often is. Implants are not: the post has to fuse with bone over months before the final tooth goes on, so that is two trips. Anyone offering full implant treatment inside a week is describing something other than a standard implant.
