Mexico Dental Directory: information for patients considering dental care in Tijuana and Mexico

This is an information site for people who are thinking about dental treatment in Mexico. We explain how to check a dentist and a clinic yourself, how to compare written quotes, and how the border crossing works.

Directory and information only. We do not recommend or endorse any clinic or dentist. No clinic pays us. Nothing here is medical or dental advice. We publish no ratings, reviews or “verified” badges.

Five checks for any clinic

  1. Ask for the treating dentist’s full name and professional license number (cédula profesional), and look it up yourself in the national registry (SEP).
  2. Ask to see the clinic’s operating notice (aviso de funcionamiento) and the name of its sanitary manager (responsable sanitario). Mexico’s federal regulator is COFEPRIS.
  3. Get a written, itemized treatment plan and price before you travel.
  4. Ask which implant or material brand and model will be used, and get it in your records.
  5. Get the warranty, redo and aftercare policy in writing, including what happens after you are home.

About the directory

The clinic directory is not open yet. A clinic will be listed only after it applies, shows its professional licenses and health-authority permits, and agrees in writing to be listed. Listing will be free and the same for every clinic, and a listing will not be a recommendation. Read how this directory works.

Run a clinic? You can apply to be listed on our sister site: dentaltourismworld.com/for-clinics.
