Questions patients actually ask
How much does tooth extraction cost in Tijuana?
The range on this page is $50 to $70 USD per tooth, simple extraction in Mexico, against $150 to $300 USD in the United States. That range is national rather than specific to Tijuana, and its source and collection date are printed under the table. Ask any practice for a written quote before you travel: a range is for budgeting, not a price.
How many trips to Tijuana does it take?
Usually one. Do not fly the same day after a surgical extraction. Ask the dentist how long to wait.
What should be done before travelling?
X-ray to check root shape and position relative to the nerve and sinus.
Is it safe to get tooth extraction in Tijuana?
That depends on the dentist doing it. Tijuana has licensed, well-trained dentists, and it also has people working without a licence; a nice waiting room does not tell them apart. Check the cédula profesional in the federal registry, get the plan and the quote in writing, and ask who treats a complication once you are back home. The dentists listed on this page have their licence number and the date of the check published.
How do I check the dentist is licensed?
Ask for the cédula profesional number and the name as it appears on it, then look it up in the Registro Nacional de Profesionistas. Every dentist listed here has that number published with the date it was confirmed.
