Beyond Borders Dental

What Beyond Borders Dental does

Beyond Borders Dental is a privately held US-based dental referral agency founded in 2016 by Ralph Grosswald and headquartered in Longmont, Colorado. The company connects patients in the United States and Canada seeking affordable dental care with a curated network of partner dental clinics in Mexico, currently spanning four locations: Ciudad Juárez, Los Algodones, Tijuana, and Playa del Carmen. Services are free to patients; the company earns referral fees from partner clinics and provides patient screening, consultation, appointment scheduling, travel logistics, and ongoing advocacy support throughout the treatment journey. According to company disclosures, the firm has helped thousands of patients access treatment since inception.

The technical footprint is concentrated at partner clinics rather than at Beyond Borders Dental itself. Partner clinics operate digital dentistry workflows including CAD/CAM design, 3D CBCT scanning, digital imaging, intraoral cameras, laser dentistry, and Digital Smile Design, with on-site laboratories enabling rapid custom restoration fabrication. Beyond Borders Dental's own differentiation rests on a proprietary four-step clinic evaluation process (site visits, credential verification, periodic reviews, and patient satisfaction monitoring) and on long-standing partner relationships, including clinics with dentists trained at UABC, UCLA, and Harvard and accredited by organizations such as the ADA and AACD.

The business model is a pure referral/affiliate model with no patient fees. Procedure pricing is set by partner clinics and is positioned at 50-80% below US benchmarks (e.g., dental implants at $1,000-$2,200 vs $3,000-$5,000 in the US; All-on-4 at $11,500-$12,000 per arch vs $30,000-$45,000 in the US). The company has introduced all-inclusive fixed-price All-on-4 and All-on-6 packages that bundle evaluation, implants, sedation, temporary and final restorations, accommodation credits, and airport transfers. Customer acquisition runs through content marketing, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn), WhatsApp, email newsletters, patient testimonials, and earned media including a Forbes feature, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional funding.
