That saves roughly $1,000 to $3,500 per tooth, and much more on several implants. ## Why it costs less The implant systems are the same international brands used in the US. Saltillo's prices follow local wages and rents, and many clinics compete for a large local workforce, including employees of the automotive plants who often pay out of pocket for implants. ## What a complete quote includes - **The implant post**, with brand and model in writing. - **The abutment** joining post and crown. - **The final crown**, usually zirconia or porcelain fused to metal. - **Imaging**: a 3D cone beam scan before surgery. - **Follow-up** and the policy if the implant does not integrate. ## Extras Bone grafts rebuild bone that has shrunk where a tooth was lost long ago; sinus lifts do the same in the upper back jaw. Both add cost and can extend healing. Ask for them to be priced in the plan, based on your scan, before you travel. ## Two trips via Monterrey The first trip, two to four days, places the post and includes a check before you leave. After three to six months of healing, a second trip of three to five days fits the abutment and final crown. Most patients fly into Monterrey, which has many US connections, and transfer to Saltillo in about an hour. Texans near Laredo often drive the whole way. ## Savings, worked out CaseSaltillo (USD)US (USD) 1 implant$850 – $1,500$2,500 – $5,000 3 implants$2,550 – $4,500$7,500 – $15,000 Full arch (All-on-4)$8,000 – $13,000$20,000 – $30,000 ## Implant-supported dentures For people missing most teeth in a jaw, a snap-on denture held by two to four implants costs much less than individual implants and keeps the denture stable. It also takes fewer days per trip. ## Choosing the surgeon Ask whether the person placing the implant is a periodontist, oral surgeon or implantologist, how many implants they place each year, and to see cases like yours. For very complex grafting, compare with Monterrey's specialists as well. ## Aftercare Expect swelling for a few days; eat soft food and do not smoke. Agree how the clinic follows up remotely during healing, and keep the implant card with brand, model and size. ## Red flags A price far below the range, no brand named, pressure to pay in full before imaging, or a promise of permanent teeth in one day for everyone. Compare clinics in the [independent ranking of Saltillo dental clinics](https://www.molarcity.com/top-dental-clinics-in-saltillo/) and read the [Saltillo dentist guide](https://www.molarcity.com/dentists-in-saltillo/) for logistics. ## Combining implants with other work Patients often need more than one thing: a cleaning, a couple of fillings, a crown on another tooth. Doing the simple work during the first implant trip, while the implant starts to heal, makes the most of the flight. Send recent X-rays ahead so the clinic can build one plan with all the treatment and a realistic schedule for each trip. ## Frequently asked questions ### How many days do I need?

From Laredo it is about four hours by toll highway; drive in daylight with Mexican insurance and a vehicle permit. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How many days do I need?
