The success rate of dental implants in Mexico is very high, averaging around 96 percent for healthy non smoking patients. This rate is nearly identical to the success rate in the United States because the materials, techniques, and implant brands are the same. When patients have good general health, stable bone density, and commit to proper aftercare, implants in Mexico integrate predictably and last for many years.
Smoking is the biggest factor that lowers success rates. Tobacco slows healing, reduces blood flow, and increases the chance of infection around the implant. For smokers, the success rate can drop noticeably, especially in the upper jaw where bone density is already softer. This is why our doctors strongly encourage patients to stop smoking before treatment and throughout the healing period. Even temporarily quitting can dramatically increase your chances of a good outcome.
Medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune issues, or chronic gum disease can also affect success rates. At SOTA Dental, every patient receives a full evaluation with CBCT imaging to make sure the bone quality is suitable before proceeding. With proper planning, experienced surgeons, and good patient habits, dental implants placed in Mexico remain one of the most reliable and successful treatments available.
