All-on-4 in Mexico — the honest 2026 cost breakdown
Real numbers from vetted clinics, broken into sticker price, four hidden cost lines, and the break-even point against US pricing.
2026 sticker prices, by city
Tijuana All-on-4 ranges $5,499–$15,000 per arch (median ~$11,000). Los Algodones All-on-4 ranges $8,900–$11,000 (median ~$10,000). All-on-6 runs $1,500–$4,000 higher per arch. These are clinic-published 'all-in' prices including implant, abutment, and provisional + final prosthesis.
What's included (and what isn't)
Included: implant fixture, abutment, provisional prosthesis, final prosthesis, panoramic radiograph, follow-up appointments during the same trip. Typically not included: bone graft (~$800–$2,000), sinus lift (~$1,200–$2,500), extractions if many are needed, IV sedation upgrade. Get the quote in writing before you fly.
The four hidden cost lines
1) Airfare or fuel + parking + insurance for the follow-up trip 6–9 months later for the final prosthesis. 2) Hotel for 5–10 nights depending on whether you do same-day load. 3) Lost work time. 4) The 'I should have flown first class' upgrade when your jaw hurts on the return flight.
The break-even calculation
For a single arch at median Mexico prices including travel, break-even vs the US-cheapest All-on-4 hits around the $13,000 mark. Below that, US is competitive when factoring in time off and travel cost. Above that — and double-arch cases very much above that — the math favors Mexico for nearly every patient profile.
