Toothcation Dental Price Index: November 2026 edition

The November edition of the Toothcation Dental Price Index presents median clinic figures by city and procedure in Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia. Each clinic counts once toward a city median, and Toothcation hides a median when too few clinics publish a price for that combination. The index shows the clinic count behind each figure. You can also download the same data as a CSV. The comparisons below identify the lowest and highest city medians for each procedure in this edition.

How Toothcation builds the figures

Every price on Toothcation comes from a clinic’s own website, a dentist’s own Doctoralia profile, or a price the clinic sent Toothcation directly. Doctoralia prices are set by the dentist on their own profile. Each price has a date when it was checked, so you can look at the date alongside the figure.

Toothcation does not edit a clinic’s price. A price that looks unusually high or low for the procedure is flagged and left out of medians and ranges, though it is not deleted. Each clinic counts once, at the median of its own prices for a procedure. The city median is the median of those clinic figures. The methodology explains how prices are collected, dated, flagged and turned into medians.

Reading a median and a middle range

A median is the midpoint of the clinic figures, not a quote for you. Read it with the clinic count. The Ciudad Juárez All-on-4 median draws on 3 clinics, while the Los Algodones All-on-4 median draws on 18. The figures describe different sets of clinic prices, even though they appear in the same procedure comparison.

The middle range adds detail around a median. In Los Algodones, the All-on-4 median is $8,900 and the middle range is $8,125 to $9,928. Its raw minimum is $4,160, below the start of the displayed range, $7,250 to $11,510. The raw minimum is a from price; the displayed range starts at a different figure. Neither range is a fixed quote. Ask what a written quote includes before comparing it with a city figure.

Single implants with crowns and All-on-4

For a single implant with crown, Medellín has the lowest city median at $1,350, based on 4 clinics. Tijuana has the highest at $1,610, based on 17 clinics. Their middle ranges are $1,120 to $1,548 and $1,500 to $1,900, respectively. The clinic counts give you context for that comparison.

For All-on-4, Ciudad Juárez has the lowest median at $6,298 from 3 clinics. San José has the highest at $11,705 from 4 clinics. Both figures rest on only a few clinics. Ciudad Juárez has a middle range of $5,289 to $8,149, while San José has a middle range of $10,558 to $12,000.

Zirconia crowns and porcelain veneers

For a zirconia crown, Barranquilla has the lowest median at $298, with 4 clinics behind it. San José has the highest at $560, with 3 clinics. The San José figure rests on only a few clinic prices. Its middle range is $505 to $609.

For a porcelain veneer, Bogotá has the lowest median at $305 from 4 clinics. Puerto Vallarta has the highest at $518 from 6 clinics. Bogotá’s middle range is $192 to $450. Puerto Vallarta’s is $407 to $545, so you can compare more than the two midpoints.

Root canals and full dentures

For a root canal, Barranquilla has the lowest median at $110 from 3 clinics. Nogales has the highest at $400 from 3 clinics. Each figure rests on only a few clinic prices. The middle ranges are $94 to $117 in Barranquilla and $358 to $446 in Nogales.

For a full denture, Los Algodones has the lowest median at $450, based on 13 clinics. San Luis Río Colorado has the highest at $800, based on 3 clinics. Only a few clinic prices stand behind the San Luis Río Colorado figure. Its middle range is $772 to $800.
