How much does a dentist cost in Guatemala? This page no longer gives estimated bands. On 24 September 2026 we read the prices that eight Guatemalan clinics publish on their own websites or social accounts, and each range below is the lowest and highest price those clinics publish for the same procedure. A clinic that publishes no price is not in the range. A clinic that publishes in dollars is shown in dollars. Separately, we show a USD table from Dental Experts Guatemala that the clinic titles “Average prices in Guatemala compared to costs in the USA”: it is not the clinic’s own price list, so it is not in the ranges.
Quick summary (published prices, read 24 Sep 2026): Cleaning Q199-Q400 (~USD 26-52, 4 clinics). Root canal from Q1,000-Q1,550 (3 clinics). Crown from Q1,500-Q3,150 (3 clinics). Implant from Q2,999-Q7,020 per tooth (4 clinics). Braces: only the entry price is published, by 4 clinics: Q699 (TopDents, an August promotion that has ended) and, current in September, from from Q799 (Dental Plus, promotion, limited places) to a down payment from Q1,899 (GrupoDent, promotion).
USD figures marked ≈ are our conversion at the Banguat reference rate for 24 September 2026, Q7.63682 per dollar (current rate). Figures without ≈ are dollar amounts as the source prints them.
Published prices by procedure
“From” means the clinic publishes a starting price; the final quote comes after an exam. Ríe Genial’s table says its prices are 2025 values for cash payment.

Dental Experts Guatemala (Blvd. Los Próceres, zona 10) publishes, on its page for international patients, a USD table it titles “Average prices in Guatemala compared to costs in the USA” (not its own price list): cleaning 55, extraction 50-140, root canal 180, crowns 350-375, implant 650-1,200, full denture 800. We show it as a separate reference and do not count it among the clinics publishing their own prices.
We also checked the pages of Clínica Dental Guatemala (Dr. Carlos Toledo), Dental Clinic 3D, Esthetic Dental and GrupoDent’s website on 24 September 2026 and found no per-procedure price list on them (GrupoDent’s orthodontic promotion is on its Facebook page). iSmile Guatemala’s blog gives approximate ranges that the clinic itself describes as market estimates, not its price list, so they are not in these ranges either.
Braces: clinics publish the entry price, not the total
None of the clinics checked on 24 September 2026 publishes the total cost of orthodontic treatment. Dental Plus advertises orthodontics from Q799 as a promotion with limited places (exam, diagnosis, periapical X-rays as needed, cleaning, scaling, fluoride and placement of upper and lower brackets); on its Facebook page on 29 September 2025 the same offer was Q899. RoDa Dental advertises a Q350 first consultation and treatment from Q1,850 with no down payment and monthly payments, and says retainers are included. TopDents (zona 9) posted Q699 on Facebook on 4 August 2026 (cleaning, evaluation and bracket placement, a promotion extended through August), and GrupoDent posted an orthodontic promotion (“Paquete de Ortodoncia”) on 19 September 2026 with a down payment from Q1,899 (evaluation, diagnosis, full studies and treatment plan). None of the four publishes the monthly fee; only RoDa gives a typical length (18-24 months for most cases). The clinic-by-clinic comparison is on our Spanish page, cuánto cuestan los brackets. Ask for the down payment, monthly fee, number of months and whether retainers are included, in writing, and multiply it out.
Implants: check what “from” includes
None of the four quetzal price lists says whether its starting price includes the abutment and crown. For scale, Dental Experts’ average-price table (not its price list) shows USD 650 for a titanium implant alone and USD 1,200 with abutment and standard crown. RoDa Dental quotes bone grafts (from Q3,500) and sinus lifts (from Q8,000) separately. For logistics of flying in for implant work, see our dental tourism guide.
Root canal plus crown
RoDa Dental states that the crown after a root canal starts at Q1,500 and is charged on top of the root canal, and calls it essential on molars and premolars. Adding each clinic’s published starting prices: RoDa Dental Q2,500 (≈ USD 327), Clínicas La Guardia Q4,250 (≈ USD 557) and Ríe Genial Q4,365 (≈ USD 572).
Credential check
Practicing dentistry in Guatemala requires active membership (colegiado status) in the Colegio Estomatológico de Guatemala, under Decreto 72-2001, the Ley de Colegiación Profesional Obligatoria. Ask for the dentist’s colegiado number and, if in doubt, contact the Colegio: +502 2202 9300, 0 calle 15-46, zona 15, Edificio de los Colegios Profesionales, third floor (colegioestomatologico.gt, read 24 Sep 2026). The dental tourism guide covers the full checklist.
