FAQ
Questions about Puerto Rico
Anything else? Our team answers every message.
Do I need a passport to go to Puerto Rico?
Not if you are a U.S. citizen: a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license is enough. Other travelers follow U.S. entry rules.
How many days do I need?
Crowns and veneers usually take 5 to 7 days. Dental implants and All-on-4 normally take two trips: one to place the implants and a second, 3 to 6 months later, for the final teeth. Your clinic confirms the exact plan after reviewing your X-rays.
Will my U.S. dental insurance work?
Some U.S. plans cover care in Puerto Rico. Check with your insurer and ask the clinic for an itemized invoice.
