Find answers about appointments, MXN prices, emergencies, treatments, location, English support, and follow-up at hisonrisa in Roma Sur.

First visit & diagnosis

Start here if you are not sure whether you need a cleaning, exam, urgent visit, or more specific treatment. These answers help you organize the basics before your first visit in Roma Sur, Mexico City.

What does the first dental visit at hisonrisa include?

Your first visit usually includes a conversation about your symptoms or goals, a clinical exam, and only the imaging that helps us make a safe decision. Before recommending treatment, we explain findings, priorities, options, timing, and a clear estimate.

If you want to start with a clinical check, see the dental exam in Mexico City page .

Can I come in if I do not know what treatment I need?

Yes. Many patients arrive unsure whether they need a cleaning, filling, root canal, crown, or something else. The exam is meant to organize the case and explain the right next step.

When are X-rays, photos, or scans recommended?

Only when they help confirm the diagnosis, treatment scope, or safety of care. If you already have recent useful X-rays or scans, we review those first and avoid repeating images without a reason.

Can I send photos, X-rays, or records before my appointment?

Yes. You can send photos, X-rays, CBCT files, or previous notes by WhatsApp or email so we can better route your request before you come in.

Photos, X-rays, CBCT files, and messages help us route your request and prepare the visit, but they do not replace an in-person diagnosis or emergency care.

Do you see patients who have not been to a dentist in years?

Yes. If it has been a long time since your last checkup, the most useful first step is a calm, clear exam that separates what is urgent, what can wait, and how to move forward without trying to do everything at once.

Appointments & urgent dental care

Use this section for the practical questions before booking: how to schedule, how soon you may be seen, and what to do if you have pain or an urgent dental problem in Mexico City.

Do you treat urgent dental problems in Mexico City?

Yes. Tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, a lost filling, a loose crown, or a problem that cannot wait should be checked promptly. See emergency dental care

For trouble breathing or swallowing, spreading face or neck swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, major face or head trauma, swelling near the eye, fever with severe illness, or if you feel seriously ill, call local emergency services. In Mexico, call 911.

How soon can I usually be seen?

It depends on the type of visit, that week's schedule, and the level of urgency. If you share symptoms, dates, or recent records, we can send the closest options that make clinical sense.

Are visits by appointment only?

Yes. Visits are by appointment so we can keep them punctual, private, and sized correctly for each case. Request an appointment

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes. Message us as soon as you can. If your visit required a deposit or reserved a longer time block, the change or cancellation policy you were given may apply. See terms and policies

Prices, payments, quotes & invoices

These answers cover one of the most common questions in Mexico City: how costs are confirmed, what a quote includes, which currency is used, and which documents can be prepared.

How is the cost of dental treatment confirmed?

After your exam or consultation, we provide an estimate by concept before treatment begins. If the clinical situation changes, we pause and explain the updated options and cost first.

For a treatment-by-treatment cost overview, see dental prices in Mexico City .

Can I ask for an initial price idea before the visit?

Yes, in many cases we can share an initial reference if you send photos, records, or a clear description of the problem. The final quote is still confirmed after we examine the case.

Which currency do you use for quotes and payments?

Quotes and payments are handled in MXN. If helpful for someone visiting from outside Mexico, we can share a USD reference, but card charges are processed in MXN and your bank handles the conversion.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, cards, local bank transfers or deposits, and Wise when arranged with frontdesk. For some deposits or longer bookings, we can also send secure card-payment links.

Do you provide invoices and documents for reimbursement?

Yes. We can prepare invoices, receipts, and clinical documentation that may help with reimbursement. We do not bill insurers directly, and final coverage depends on your policy.

Can payments be divided for larger treatments?

For extensive multi-visit treatment, payment timing can often be organized by phase. We explain deposits, lab-related timing, and the remaining balance before you start.

What happens if my case needs more than one specialty?

You do not have to guess the next step. We review the case first, then explain the recommended order and which clinician should be involved at each stage.

Safety, sterilization & credentials

If clinic standards matter to you, these are the practical answers to review before booking: sterilization, COFEPRIS, imaging, licenses, and privacy.
