The strongest trip plan starts before the first quote.

Do not choose a clinic from price alone. Ask for written evidence on license status, implant brand, warranty, sterilization protocol, aftercare and whether the treatment plan explains the records or diagnostic basis a licensed dentist reviewed. We label what is editorial research, clinic-submitted, partner-reviewed evidence, or still unverified.

How we work

Not a marketplace. A curated, accountable guide.

Evidence labels
We separate editorial research, clinic-submitted evidence, partner-reviewed evidence, and unverified claims.
Reviewer pathway
Clinical-risk pages are flagged for licensed dental review; we name the reviewer only once review is complete.
Transparent math
We show flight + hotel + procedure — and tell you when the trip may not pencil out.
Conflict disclosed
Partnered clinics may pay a fee if you proceed. They cannot buy rankings, hidden risks, or medical approval.
Destinations

Five hubs. One evidence standard.

Clinic reviews live for Los Algodones and Tijuana. Editorial guides also for Cancún, Costa Rica and Colombia.

The honest answer

"What if something goes wrong abroad?"

It's the right question. Here's how we label the evidence we have seen — and what we will not pretend to certify or control.

How we review a clinic (by evidence stage)
We do not certify clinics or guarantee outcomes. We classify each claim by the evidence we have seen:
  • Public-record review: clinic website, named clinicians, public license registers where available, review/complaint patterns and written prices or warranties
  • Clinic-submitted evidence: prices, warranty documents, credentials, implant brands and sterilization protocol supplied by the clinic
  • Partner-reviewed evidence: submitted evidence matches the profile, is internally consistent, and the clinic accepts written patient-introduction terms
  • Anything we cannot support is labelled unverified
  • Patients should still ask a licensed dentist who can examine them to review the case before treatment
Read our full methodology
If a complication happens
No website can remove clinical risk. The safer move is documentation:
  • Get warranty terms, exclusions and remake rules in writing
  • Ask who handles urgent follow-up once you are back home
  • Keep receipts, written warranty terms and implant/material details for your own dentist
  • Ask a qualified local dentist or physician before travel if your case is complex
Insurance & warranty guide
What we won't do
Editorial independence is only useful if the limits are visible:
  • We do not sell paid rankings or sponsored clinic scores
  • We disclose referral-fee relationships when they apply
  • We do not call a page medically reviewed without a named licensed reviewer
  • We do not diagnose, approve treatment, or guarantee outcomes
