1. How much does a dental bridge cost in Mexico?

At Dental Care Mexico (Tijuana), our zirconia metal-free bridges cost $485 USD per unit. Prices are transparent with no hidden fees, and all work is done with high-quality zirconia and porcelain for the most natural results.

2. How long does it take to get a dental bridge in Mexico?

Most bridges are completed in 2–3 visits across 5–7 days. For smaller cases of 1–3 units, thanks to our in-house lab, it can sometimes be done in as little as 24 hours.

3. Is Los Algodones or Tijuana better for dental work?

While Los Algodones is known for dental tourism, Tijuana is the preferred destination. Our city offers modern clinics, exclusive neighborhoods like Playas de Tijuana, excellent gastronomy, shopping centers, and vibrant nightlife — all while being just minutes from the U.S. border.

4. What Mexican town is known for dental work?

Tijuana is one of the leading cities for dental tourism worldwide. Every year, millions of patients from the U.S. and Canada travel here for affordable, high-quality dental treatments, including crowns, bridges, and implants.

5. How much does a bridge cost for front 4 teeth?

A 4-unit zirconia bridge in Tijuana costs $1,940 USD ($485 × 4). This is around 60% cheaper than U.S. prices, with the same premium materials and technology.

6. How long does a four tooth bridge last?

With proper care, a zirconia dental bridge lasts 12–15 years or more. Our metal-free bridges do not stain or darken over time, and with regular check-ups, they can maintain function and aesthetics for decades.

7. Is it better to have a bridge or a denture?

A bridge is fixed and feels natural, while a denture is removable and can be less stable. Bridges are considered more aesthetic and comfortable, especially when made from zirconia.

8. Is a bridge cheaper than an implant?

Yes. A zirconia bridge can be more affordable than multiple implants since the cost is $485 per unit, while implants involve surgery, titanium posts, and crowns. Still, implants may offer a more permanent solution in some cases.

9. Does a dental bridge ever feel normal?

Absolutely. Once placed, a properly designed zirconia bridge feels natural and restores both chewing function and aesthetics. Most patients forget they even have one.

10. Why would a dentist recommend a bridge instead of an implant?

Bridges are recommended when the patient prefers a non-surgical option, when adjacent teeth can provide strong support, or when bone loss would make implants more complex. Bridges restore aesthetics and function quickly and affordably.

11. Can dental bridges be combined with veneers or implants?

Yes. Zirconia bridges can be combined with porcelain veneers or implants to create a harmonious, aesthetic smile. Our specialists design the case so the color and shape match perfectly, and nobody will notice the difference.

12. How much does a 3-unit dental bridge cost in Mexico?

At Dental Care Mexico, a 3-unit zirconia bridge costs $1,455 USD ($485 × 3). This treatment is often recommended when replacing a single missing tooth with support from the adjacent teeth.
