Average Cost of All-on-4 in Mexico (2026)

The primary reason patients choose Tijuana dental implants and other Mexico hubs is the dramatic cost savings without compromising quality.

Below reflects average 2026 pricing for premium implant systems (Straumann / Nobel Biocare equivalent).

Restoration Type (Per Arch) USA/Canada Cost Mexico Cost (2026) Savings
Standard All-on-4 (Acrylic) $24,000 – $30,000 $7,500 – $9,500 Save ~65%
Premium All-on-4 (Zirconia) $30,000 – $35,000 $10,500 – $12,500 Save ~60%

Acrylic vs. Zirconia: Acrylic teeth are often reinforced with a titanium bar and are the more budget-friendly option. Zirconia is the “Gold Standard,” offering superior durability, stain resistance, and a more natural translucent appearance.

What is All-on-4 Dental Implants?

The All-on-4 technique is a revolutionary restorative solution for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth. It uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a full arch of permanent replacement teeth.

By angling the posterior (back) implants, surgeons can utilize existing bone density, often eliminating the need for complex bone grafting. This allows for “Immediate Load” functionality, meaning you can often receive a temporary bridge on the same day as your surgery.

1

Trip 1 (3-5 Days): Surgical Phase

Includes necessary extractions, precise placement of 4-6 titanium implants, and fitting of your temporary ‘healing’ bridge. Expect mild swelling and bruising; clinics provide detailed post-op care plans.

2

Healing Phase (3-6 Months): Osseointegration

A critical period where implants fuse with your jawbone. Patients must follow a soft-food diet (no crunchy/hard foods) to ensure the implants aren’t disturbed during the integration process.

3

Trip 2 (5-7 Days): Final Restoration

After healing, we take final impressions for your custom Zirconia or high-grade Acrylic bridge. Includes bite calibration and final placement of your permanent, high-strength smile.

Who is a Good Candidate?

  • • Missing most or all teeth in one or both arches.
  • • Wearing uncomfortable or slipping dentures.
  • • Significant bone loss in the jaw (All-on-4 often works where traditional implants can’t).
  • • Good overall health and able to undergo minor surgery.
  • • Committed to a multi-trip process in Mexico.

Contraindications: Who is NOT a Candidate?

  • • Severe bone loss without willingness for grafting (though All-on-4 minimizes this need).
  • • Uncontrolled diabetes or active severe periodontal disease.
  • • Heavy smokers (increases risk of implant failure during healing).
  • • Currently taking certain bisphosphonate medications for osteoporosis.
  • • Severe bruxism (teeth grinding) without commitment to a night guard.

Zirconia vs. Acrylic: Which is right for you?

Hybrid Acrylic (Fixed Bridge)

  • Pros: More affordable, easier to repair, lightweight, gentle on the opposing jaw.
  • Cons: Porous (can absorb odors/stains), more prone to wear over 5-10 years.
  • Best for: Budget-conscious patients looking for a functional restoration.
$7,500 – $9,500

Most Durable

Monolithic Zirconia

  • Pros: Virtually unbreakable, non-porous (no staining), hyper-realistic aesthetics.
  • Cons: More expensive, harder to modify once fabricated.
  • Best for: Patients wanting the most natural looking and long-lasting smile.
$10,500 – $12,500

Tijuana vs. Los Algodones

Mexico’s two biggest dental hubs offer different experiences. Both provide exceptional safe All-on-4 care, but your travel logistics and budget goals might dictate your choice.

Tijuana (Baja California)

Ideal for those flying into San Diego (SAN). Offers a cosmopolitan city experience with luxury hotels like the Marriott and high-end medical towers in the Zona Rio district.

Los Algodones (Baja California)

“Molar City” is perfect for those driving from Arizona or California. It’s a small, walkable border town with over 300 specialized dental clinics concentrated in just a few blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is All-on-4 so much cheaper in Mexico?
The price difference is primarily due to lower labor costs, reduced administrative overhead, and cheaper real estate/living expenses in Mexico. The quality of materials (like Nobel Biocare) remains identical to US standards.
How many trips to Mexico are required?
Two trips are standard. Trip 1 for the surgery and temporary bridge placement, and Trip 2 (4-6 months later) for the fitting and placement of the final permanent restoration.
Is Zirconia worth the extra cost?
For most patients, yes. Zirconia is non-porous (doesn’t stain or smell), much stronger than acrylic, and looks more natural. It’s a “set and forget” solution compared to acrylic which may need more maintenance.
Does the surgery hurt?
Surgery is performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, so you will feel no pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is managed with prescribed medication and typically subsides within 3-5 days.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, the titanium implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic bridge (especially Zirconia) typically lasts 15-25 years before needing refurbishment.
Can I eat normally with All-on-4?
Once the final permanent bridge is placed and implants are fully healed, you can eat almost anything, including steaks and apples. During the 3-6 month healing phase, however, a soft-food diet is mandatory.
Are US-trained dentists available in Mexico?
Yes. Many top-tier implantologists in Mexico received their specialty training or fellowships at major US universities like Loma Linda or NYU and are members of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID).
Is financing available for All-on-4?
While most Mexican clinics operate on a pay-as-you-go basis (split between Trip 1 and Trip 2), many work with US-based third-party financing companies like United Medical Credit or Citerra Finance.
What materials are best for the final bridge?
Monolithic Zirconia is widely considered the gold standard for its strength, stain resistance, and biocompatibility. High-grade acrylic with a titanium subframe (Prettau style) is a high-quality, more budget-friendly alternative.
