Dental Implants + Bone grafting (considering Orthognathic Surgery)
UPDATED FROM letsberealpls
In person consult
$45,000
I had an in person consult to discuss the details of my case with Dr Leon. Due to the price, I’ve decided to only do my dental implants and bone grafting with Dr Leon for now. I’m also doing orthodontics with Dr Maarten at SmileMporium - Will review that service separately. The orthognathic surgery plus the dental implants + Bone grafting was coming out to be over $40,000 USD even out here in Mexico. So I’ve decided to do the most important treatments first, see how those go, and if all is well MAYBE pursue orthognathic later on. I’ll keep posting updates here for the dental implants and bone grafting procedures and the exact pricing and process for that. Overall, Dr Leon was very kind and the clinic is nice. The prices are just much higher than expected.
UPDATED FROM letsberealpls
Consultation Completed. Quote Received.
The virtual consultation was good minus our internet connection being a bit spotty. Aside from that, Dr Leon was gracious, extremely detailed, and informative. He walked through my case with me, allowed me to explain the history and had the same concerns as me in terms of what needs to be improved. We decided on pre-surgical orthodontics beginning in July (hopefully). Then I will have my first appointment with him to assess my bite and jaw further in August. And I have my fingers crossed to have the orthognathic and bone grafting procedure done by November hopefully. And then implants will follow shortly after.
I will say that I was a bit surprised by the price quote I received, it was significantly higher than the other dental clinics I consulted with in Mexico City prior to speaking with him, and closer to the prices being offered by surgeons here in the States. My quote came out to $34,950 USD (that is not including ortho or dental implants). It seems as though his facility fees, staff, and materials ramp up the price significantly as he only comes to perform procedures once every other month in MX. If all goes well with the presurgical orthodontist he refers me to, and the pricing for that is doable I hope to continue and have this procedure done with him.
I will update as I continue this journey.

Hello,
Thank you for your helpful review. I'm considering this doctor for orthognathic surgery and have a few questions since there's not much information about him online. I read you're a California resident, I am as well, did Dr. Nelson Leon refer you to an orthodontist in California for your orthodontics? And is the $34,950 quote for orthognathic surgery only? The price seems high for orthognathic surgery in MX but his work on his Instagram looks great so I'm sure it's worth it. Also, can you share the other dental clinics you consulted within MX city? I hope all goes well for you.

Thank you I was considering him also after seeing his work on Instagram and also looking around MX. but when I saw his work I stopped looking and was confident I wanted to go with him but I needed to save up some money. I haven’t done my consultation yet but was anxious to know what the price range would look like. I surely wasn’t expecting that high! I still want the work done but it won’t be as soon as I thought. Unless I find satisfying work cheaper than Dr Leon. My whole reason for searching outside of the States was for cheaper (quality) dental work.
He gave me a quote for $45,000 USD he is almost operating you cheaply, your getting gringo prices I’m sure no one in Venezuela is paying $35-$45,000USD he is probably the best in Venezuela but still his prices are Over the top in my opinion I know good sergeons in LA that will do it for half
Hi Chris, no he referred me to an orthodontist at the same clinic he operates in in Mexico City. I’ll be updating the Review regarding that whole process shortly. And yea, I agree it’s pretty high for orthognathic in Mexico…I know there are some oral surgeons around California that charge around the same…and yes that quote doesn’t even include dental implants it’s just orthognathic alone. I’m continuing to look at other surgeons around Mexico and if I change my mind and go other places I will update on here. I have only consulted with one other clinic in Mexico City, called ceovfa. Decided not to go with them as their main service was ortho and I preferred to have both the orthodontist and oral surgeon in the same clinic.
How much do you think a basic genioplasty will be in his home country Brazil?
He is from Venezuela not Brazil and if your from USA his prices will be expensive like igual to or much higher then what you would pay in USA, if you from a Latin country he might do it cheaper
ORIGINAL POST
Orthognathic Surgery and Dental Implants
I am currently awaiting a consult with Dr. Nelson Leon this week. The consult was easily scheduled via whatsapp and cost $150 USD. I have only read his reviews and seen his cases online so far and since I have yet to see any reviews on realself for him, I have created this review to document my experience in case anyone else was considering to see him for their concerns.
A bit about my situation: I am currently exploring options in Mexico City for treatment for missing teeth and jaw/bite misalignment. I have been putting off the treatment for the last 6 years and have lost quite a bit of bone due to it. Really looking forward to getting this taken care of once and for all.
