Dental implants in TijuanaA missing tooth shouldn't cost $4,000 to fix
Titanium implant, abutment and crown — complete from $895† at Dental Implant Center & Family Care, versus a $3,000–$4,500 average in Southern California. Same systems, written price, 10 minutes from the border.
Three parts, one permanent tooth
A dental implant replaces the whole tooth, not just the visible part: a titanium post that fuses with your jawbone, an abutment that connects it, and a crown matched to the teeth around it. Done right, it looks, chews and cleans like a natural tooth — and protects the bone a bridge or denture lets shrink.
- Implant — the titanium root, placed by Dr. Waldo
- Abutment — the connector (often billed separately in the U.S.)
- Crown — the tooth you see, shade-matched to yours
Our from-price includes all three†. One line, one number.
When implants are the right call
Cracked, loose, or extracted years ago — an implant stops the domino effect on its neighbors.
Bridges sacrifice the two teeth beside the gap. Implants leave them alone.
Fixed means fixed: no clasps, no soaking, no moving at dinner.
If price was the only reason you've waited, that reason ends here.
From consultation to new tooth in two short trips
Photos or a video call from home. You get a written, itemized plan before any travel.
Digital scan, guided placement of the implant. Most patients drive home the same day.
The implant fuses with bone over ~3–4 months. We check in on WhatsApp.
Abutment and shade-matched crown go on. Bite checked, polished, done.
A drive away for San Diego patients — or a photo review on WhatsApp.
