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.
Read these first
Five checks for any clinic
- Ask for the treating dentist’s full name and professional license number (cédula profesional), and look it up yourself in the national registry (SEP).
- 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.
- Get a written, itemized treatment plan and price before you travel.
- Ask which implant or material brand and model will be used, and get it in your records.
- 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.
Have a question?
Write to us through the form on Dental Tourism World. A person replies with general information and a checklist. We do not choose or recommend a clinic for you and we do not pass your details to any clinic.
