What's Included
Why Choose Playa del Carmen for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, but the cost in the United States and Canada can be overwhelming. A single dental implant in the US typically runs between $4,500 and $6,000, and that price can climb well beyond $10,000 when bone grafting or additional procedures are required. At our clinic in Playa del Carmen, you receive the same quality of care — with the same premium materials and board-certified specialists — starting from just $1,200 USD per implant.
That translates to savings of up to 73% compared to what you would pay back home. For patients needing multiple implants, the savings can easily reach $10,000 to $20,000 or more, making the trip to Mexico’s Caribbean coast not just a smart dental decision but a financially transformative one.

The Dental Implant Procedure Explained
A dental implant is a three-part system that mimics the structure of a natural tooth. Understanding the process helps you feel confident and informed before your visit.
Phase 1: Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes digital X-rays and a 3D CT scan of your jawbone. These images allow our implantologist to assess bone density, map nerve locations, and plan the precise angle and depth for each implant. This digital planning stage is critical for long-term success and is included in your treatment cost at no extra charge.
Phase 2: Implant Placement
During the surgical phase, a small titanium post is placed directly into the jawbone. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning your body accepts it without rejection. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report far less discomfort than they expected. A single implant placement typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
After placement, you receive a temporary restoration so you never leave our clinic with a gap in your smile.
Phase 3: Osseointegration (Healing)
Over the next three to six months, the titanium post fuses with your natural jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates an incredibly strong and stable foundation — even stronger than a natural tooth root. During this healing period, you return home and continue your normal routine.
Phase 4: Final Crown Placement
Once the implant has fully integrated, you return to our clinic for the final crown. Using digital impressions, our partner lab crafts a custom porcelain or zirconia crown that matches the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth. The crown is then secured to the implant with a custom abutment, completing your new tooth.

What Makes Our Implant Program Different
Our clinic brings together several advantages that set us apart from other dental tourism destinations:
Board-Certified Implantologists. Our implant surgeons hold certifications from recognized Mexican and international dental boards. They have placed thousands of implants over 20+ years of combined experience, with a success rate that matches the best clinics anywhere in the world.
Premium Materials Only. We use titanium implants from leading manufacturers — the same brands used by top clinics in the US and Europe. Our crowns are crafted from high-grade porcelain and zirconia, ensuring durability and a natural appearance that lasts for decades.
Digital Planning Technology. Every implant case begins with a 3D CT scan and digital treatment plan. This technology eliminates guesswork, reduces surgical time, and dramatically improves outcomes.
Written Warranties. We stand behind our work with written warranties on all implant procedures. Subject to annual check-ups, if any component fails under normal use, we cover the clinical and laboratory costs for replacement.
Dental Implant Cost Comparison: Mexico vs. US and Canada
Understanding exactly how much you save is important for planning your trip. Here is a side-by-side breakdown:
| Procedure | US Price | Canada Price | Our Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant (implant + abutment + crown) | $4,500 - $6,000 | $4,000 - $5,500 CAD | $1,200 - $2,412 | Up to 73% |
| Bone grafting (if needed) | $1,500 - $3,000 | $1,200 - $2,800 CAD | From $500 | Up to 67% |
| CT scan and digital planning | $300 - $500 | $250 - $400 CAD | Included | 100% |
| Full mouth restoration (4-6 implants) | $20,000 - $40,000 | $18,000 - $35,000 CAD | $8,500 - $14,000 | Up to 65% |
These prices include all components — the implant post, abutment, and final crown. There are no hidden fees. Your consultation includes the CT scan and treatment plan at no additional cost.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have:
- Sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, a bone grafting procedure can rebuild the foundation before implant placement.
- Healthy gums free of active periodontal disease. Our team can treat gum issues before proceeding with implants.
- Good overall health. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect healing, but many patients with managed health conditions are still excellent candidates.
- Commitment to oral hygiene. Implants require the same care as natural teeth — regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
During your initial consultation, our team evaluates your specific situation and creates a personalized treatment plan. If implants are not the best option, we discuss alternatives such as dental bridges or All-on-4 full arch restorations.

What to Expect During Your Visit
Planning a dental implant trip to Playa del Carmen is easier than you might think. Here is a typical timeline:
Day 1 — Arrival and Consultation. You fly into Cancun International Airport, just 45 minutes from our clinic. We can help arrange transportation and hotel accommodations at discounted partner rates. Your first appointment includes the CT scan, oral examination, and a detailed discussion of your treatment plan and costs.
Day 2-3 — Implant Placement. The surgical procedure is scheduled within the first few days of your arrival. Most patients return to light activities the same day or the next morning.
Days 4-7 — Recovery and Relaxation. While your mouth heals, enjoy the beaches, cenotes, and Mayan ruins of the Riviera Maya. We schedule a follow-up visit to check your progress before you head home.
3-6 Months Later — Crown Placement. You return for a shorter visit (2-3 days) to receive your permanent crown. Many patients combine this trip with a vacation.
Insurance and Payment Options
We work with most US and Canadian PPO dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, and MetLife. Our administrative team provides all necessary ADA-coded documentation so you can file for reimbursement after your visit. Many patients discover that the combination of insurance reimbursement and our lower prices means their out-of-pocket cost is minimal.
