Frequently asked questions
Is dental work in Mexico safe for San Diego patients?
Yoimed only matches you with licensed Mexican dentists who have been credential-verified, carry malpractice coverage, and use the same name-brand implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, MIS, BioHorizons) and CAD/CAM crowns as top US practices. You stay in control of provider selection and travel.
How much can I really save vs California prices?
Patients typically save 60–75% vs California list prices. The exact savings depend on your treatment plan — implants, full-arch, and crowns show the biggest gap. Get a free written diagnosis first so you're comparing identical plans, not estimates.
Do I need a passport?
Yes — every US citizen needs a passport book or passport card to re-enter the US by land. Apply 8+ weeks before travel.
What about aftercare back in San Diego?
Aftercare and any clinical decisions are owned by the licensed Mexican provider who did your treatment. Yoimed coordinates follow-up check-ins and helps you stay in contact with your provider. For urgent issues, we help you find local emergency dental care immediately.
Will Yoimed help me with the San Ysidro (busiest land crossing in the world) crossing?
