The Problem Every Senior Knows
You need implants, but the system isn't set up to help you pay for them.
Medicare doesn't cover implants
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) excludes dental implants entirely. Most Medicare Advantage plans exclude them too, or cap benefits at $1,000-2,000 — not enough for even one implant.
US implants cost $3,000-5,000 per tooth
That's the average cost for a single implant with the crown. Need multiple teeth or a full arch? You're looking at $20,000-30,000 per arch, or $40,000-60,000 for both. Most seniors don't have that sitting in savings.
Fixed incomes make it impossible
On Social Security or a pension, putting aside $5,000-30,000 for dental work means years of saving — or going without. Meanwhile, your dental health gets worse.
Dental financing at 15-27% APR
CareCredit and other dental financing often charge 15-27% APR after the promo period. A $5,000 implant can cost $7,000+ with interest. That's not a real solution. See what financing actually costs.

You can drive there
Los Algodones is 7 miles from Yuma, AZ. Park on the US side, walk across the border in 30 seconds. No flights, no airports, no hassle.
Senior-experienced clinics
Border clinics treat thousands of American seniors every year. They understand Medicare gaps, fixed-income budgets, and age-related dental conditions.
Same implant brands
Our partner clinics use Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and other top-tier implant systems — the exact same brands your US dentist would use.
Follow-up care at home
We coordinate follow-up checkups with a dentist near your home. HIPAA-compliant records transfer seamlessly so your local dentist has everything they need.

No. There is no upper age limit for dental implants. The real factor is bone density, not age.
Many patients in their 70s and 80s successfully receive implants and enjoy restored chewing function, improved nutrition, and better quality of life for years afterward.
Your clinic evaluates your specific case with X-rays and a full health review. If bone density is low, bone grafting can often make implants possible. Every case is different — the only way to know is to get evaluated.
Get a Free Treatment PlanWhat the clinic evaluates:
- 1 Bone density
Evaluated with X-rays or CT scan. Low density can often be addressed with bone grafting.
- 2 Overall health
Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes can affect healing. Well-managed conditions are usually fine.
- 3 Medications
Blood thinners, bisphosphonates, and other medications are reviewed and accounted for in your plan.
- 4 Healing capacity
Age alone doesn't determine healing. Your overall health matters more than your birthday.
How It Works — Step by Step
We handle the coordination so you can focus on getting healthy teeth. Here's the process, tailored for seniors.
Send us your info (from home)
Fill out a short form with your dental concerns. Upload any X-rays or photos you have. Include your medication list and health history so the clinic can plan around your needs. This takes about 10 minutes.
Get your treatment plan and price
Within 24-48 hours, you receive a detailed treatment plan with exact pricing — no surprises. The plan accounts for your medications, health conditions, and the number of visits required. Compare it to your US quote.
Travel for treatment
Drive to the border or fly to Cancun — whichever is easier for you. For Los Algodones, many seniors make it a day trip. For more extensive work, plan a 2-3 day stay. Your clinic appointment is pre-scheduled. No waiting.
Follow-up care near your home
After your procedure, your HIPAA-compliant records are ready for any US dentist. We coordinate follow-up checkups near your home. For implants, you return in 3-6 months for the permanent crown — that's it.

You see your full treatment plan, timeline, and exact price before committing to anything. No pressure, no surprises when you arrive.
Follow-Up Care at Home
We coordinate checkups with a dentist near you after your procedure. You're not on your own once you leave Mexico.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I too old for dental implants?
There is no upper age limit for dental implants. What matters is bone density, overall health, and healing capacity — not your age. Many patients in their 70s and 80s successfully receive implants. Your clinic will evaluate your specific case with X-rays and a health review before recommending treatment.
Does Medicare cover dental implants in Mexico?
Medicare does not cover dental implants — in the US or in Mexico. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) excludes most dental care entirely. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer limited dental benefits, but implants are rarely covered. That's exactly why saving 60-70% at a verified clinic in Mexico makes such a difference for seniors on fixed incomes.
Can I drive to the clinic?
Yes. Los Algodones, Mexico — known as "Molar City" — is just 7 miles from Yuma, Arizona. You drive to Winterhaven, CA, park on the US side ($5/day), and walk across the border in 30 seconds. The dental district starts immediately on the other side. Many seniors make it a day trip from Arizona, Southern California, or Nevada.
What if I take blood thinners or have diabetes?
Our partner clinics regularly treat patients on blood thinners (Warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto) and patients with diabetes. Your dentist will review your full medication list and health history before treatment. In some cases, your doctor may adjust your blood thinner dosage before surgery. Diabetic patients with well-controlled blood sugar (A1C under 8) are generally good candidates. Your treatment plan will account for any medical conditions.
How many trips do I need to make?
Most implant procedures require two trips: one for implant placement (1-2 days) and a return visit in 3-6 months for the permanent crown or restoration after the implant integrates with the bone. Some procedures like All-on-4 can place temporary teeth on the same day, so you leave with a functional smile. Your treatment plan will specify the exact number of visits needed.
Will my US dentist accept the records?
Yes. Our partner clinics provide HIPAA-compliant digital records including X-rays, treatment notes, and implant specifications (brand, size, lot number). These records are formatted so any US dentist can review them and continue your care. We also coordinate follow-up care with dentists near your home for routine checkups after your procedure.
