Los Algodones, Mexico — known worldwide as Molar City — is the most popular destination for dental tourism from the United States and Canada. With over 300 dental clinics packed into just a few blocks, patients can save 50-70% on virtually every dental procedure compared to what they would pay back home. Here's a detailed breakdown of what major treatments cost in Los Algodones in 2026.
A single dental implant in Los Algodones costs between $800 and $1,500 USD, depending on the brand and whether a bone graft is needed. In the United States, the same implant runs $3,000 to $5,500. Full-mouth implant restorations such as All-on-4 start around $7,000 per arch in Los Algodones, compared to $20,000-$30,000 in the US. Most clinics use Nobel Biocare, Straumann, or MIS implants — the same brands used by American dentists.
Porcelain crowns in Los Algodones range from $250 to $400 USD each, while the same crown costs $1,000-$1,500 in the US. Zirconia crowns, which are stronger and more aesthetically pleasing, run $300-$500. Porcelain veneers start at $380, making a full smile makeover of 8-10 veneers achievable for under $4,000 — a fraction of the $10,000-$15,000 cost in the United States.
Complete dentures in Los Algodones start at $600 USD for a standard set, with premium options running up to $1,200. Partial dentures begin at $400. In comparison, a set of dentures in the US typically costs $1,500-$3,000. Many clinics can complete dentures in 2-3 visits over the course of a week, and some offer same-day options for patients with limited time.
Root canal therapy in Los Algodones costs $250-$350 USD for a single-rooted tooth and up to $450 for molars. A simple extraction runs $80-$120, while surgical extractions (including wisdom teeth) cost $150-$250. These are the same procedures performed by US-trained endodontists and oral surgeons, using modern equipment including digital X-rays and rotary instrumentation.
Los Algodones is located just 7 miles from Yuma, Arizona, making it the closest and most convenient dental tourism destination for residents of Arizona, Southern California, and the American Southwest. Thousands of patients from Yuma, Phoenix, Tucson, Palm Springs, and San Diego cross the border at Andrade for same-day dental care. Park on the US side ($6-8/day secure parking), walk across the border, and be in a dental chair within 15 minutes.
