  • Treatment in border cities like Tijuana can cost up to 25% more than in other regions of Mexico.
  • Use of laser technology for gum surgery can increase costs by 20%–30% compared to traditional methods.

Gum surgery in Mexico: Pros and Cons

Gum surgery in Mexico can offer significant cost savings, but it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.

Pros Cons
Lower costs. Gum surgery in Mexico costs $250–$400 per quadrant, compared to $1,000 or more in the US, offering 60–75% savings. Safety concerns. Potential risks include infection rates of 2–4%, bleeding, or delayed healing—similar to US averages and minimized by strict sterilization protocols.
Qualified surgeons. Periodontists are certified by the Mexican Council of Periodontology and often have training or fellowships in the US or Europe, with 10+ years’ experience. Follow-up care. Managing post-op visits from abroad can be challenging, but clinics frequently offer telemedicine and detailed aftercare instructions.
Modern facilities. Clinics use ISO 9001-certified equipment and regenerative materials from brands like Geistlich and 3M, with COFEPRIS and sometimes JCI or ISO accreditation. Different regulatory standards. COFEPRIS standards differ from the FDA, but leading clinics adopt international protocols and use FDA-approved materials.
Advanced regenerative techniques. Gum surgery often includes guided tissue regeneration (GTR) or bone regeneration (GBR) using collagen membranes for improved healing and stability. Travel logistics. Travel and accommodation add to overall cost and may impact recovery, but most clinics are located in tourist-friendly cities with convenient access.
Personal coordinator support. Bookimed’s medical coordinator helps compare clinics, request personalized quotes, and manage treatment logistics at no additional cost.

It's crucial to thoroughly research clinics and verify surgeon credentials before making a decision. When performed by qualified periodontists in accredited facilities, gum surgery in Mexico can offer quality care at a fraction of the US price.

We are very satisfied with the quality of work, the professionalism of Dr
This time we contacted the dental center of Mexico Dentavida to Dr. Alberto Guvera. We are very satisfied with the quality of work, the professionalism of Dr. Alberto. But in the case of my husband, a medical mistake was made in Turkish dentistry when installing crowns, which we will try to solve in the near future. Then we will share the results.
About Bookimed service
Thanks to the Bookimed consultants for their excellent work in providing timely assistance in finding the right clinic in any region of the world. In our case, our family is collaborating for the second time on the problem of dental treatment, the installation of zirconium crowns (autumn 2022, February 2023). I like the individual approach, quick response and understanding of the situation. They are selected qualitatively. not only clinics, but also doctors.

Gum surgery: Before & after photos

View all

Before and after photos of gum surgery in Mexico can help you visualize the significant improvement in both oral health and smile aesthetics. These images clearly demonstrate the transformation from receding, swollen, or uneven gums to healthier, more balanced gum lines. Results are especially noticeable for patients with advanced periodontal disease, where up to 90% of cases show substantial enhancement in gum stability and appearance.

Patients typically experience initial healing within 2-4 weeks, with final results visible by 3 months. The procedure uses advanced techniques like flap surgery or laser therapy to remove infected tissue and reshape the gums. Results from gum surgery can last 5 years or longer with proper oral care.
