Price comparison

Mexico vs. US, with the trip priced in

A quick estimate. Every figure is a planning estimate from published fee data — not a quote. For a full basket of treatment, open the price comparison tool.

US figures are typical self-pay fees; Mexico figures are the Los Algodones / Tijuana baseline scaled by city. Travel is a rough round-trip for one person including lodging. Full methodology →

Before you book

The questions that actually decide it

Frequently asked questions

Is MexicoSmileGuide free?

Yes. The price tool, the guides and clinic matching are free. We're paid a referral fee by clinics in the verified network, which never changes your quoted price or affects verification.

Are you a dental clinic or a booking agency?

No. We're an independent price-comparison and verification site. We don't provide treatment, and we don't sell trips.

How accurate are the prices?

They're planning estimates built from published dental-fee surveys, clinic price lists and dental-tourism operators. Your real number comes from a written treatment plan after an exam or X-ray review.

Is it actually safe?

It can be, and it can also go wrong — the same as anywhere. Border cities like Los Algodones and Tijuana have dentists who trained in the US or Mexico and treat American patients full-time, alongside low-quality operators. The safety guide covers how to tell them apart.

Do I have to buy anything to get quotes?

No. Quotes are free and there's no obligation.
