Fantastic beaches, water sports galore, mountainous terrain, tropical rainforests and monuments from ancient civilizations are just some of the varied attractions that make Mexico so special.

Dental crown patients can find their ultimate location for a holiday and for their dental work in Mexico quickly and easily with Dental Departures. 

Why Have Dental Crowns in Mexico?


Mexico is a popular destination for dental tourism, which benefits patients immensely. Clinics are keen to provide the best services at the most competitive prices in order to attract patients. Competition is fierce, and so any dentist or clinic providing sub-standard services is not likely to be around for long as patients just will not go there. 

Although it is true that bad dentists do exist (as they do anywhere), booking through Dental Departures will ensure you see a quality-checked dentist with a proven track record.

Dentists in our top clinics also have professional memberships in overseas organizations, such as the American Dental Association, and so they are subject to the same rules of engagement as their counterparts over the border.

When you visit a reputable clinic, your dental crowns in Mexico will be just as high-quality as they are at home. 

How Long Do Dental Crowns Take in Mexico?


Dental crown work in Mexico is usually completed in around two or three days. You will have an appointment with the dentist on the first and last day, and the lab work will be completed between visits. Clinics with in-house labs and CAD/CAM equipment may be able to prepare your crowns and complete treatment in a single day!

At your first appointment, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to the lab where the crown is to be made. Your tooth will then be shaped in preparation to receive the crown and you may be given a temporary crown until the permanent one is ready.

At this point, you will also be asked about the material you want for your crown. The materials available all have their pros and cons and your dentist will discuss these with you. If you are on a limited budget then PFM or porcelain-fused-to-metal may be your best option. 

However, they do not look as natural as, say, zirconia. However, this is one of the most expensive materials, and the material is so hard-wearing that it may wear down other teeth.

You will return to the dentist for your final appointment when your new dental crown is ready. The dentist will first check that it fits properly before cementing it permanently in place.  

How Much Can I Save on Dental Crowns Compared to the US or Canada?


Standard PFM crowns are about $1,150 in the US, but in Mexico are as little as $160. Zirconia crowns, which are around $1,600 in the US start at $450 in Mexico.

Whether you travel to Mexico specifically for your dental crowns, or whether you get your crown while on holiday, there is no doubt that big savings can be made, which will more than cover the cost of your trip.

My tooth hurts a lot, but there's no clinic that can do it today. Must make an appointment for a week. So I searched and found it here. So he was brought in for dental work. In conclusion, the root was treated and the toothache was covered. I was very impressed. Most importantly, the price was not high. Cheaper than hospitals or many other places.

Come in and get veneers here. The doctor is on time every time. But in order to get veneers that you feel satisfied with, there must be 1-2 rounds of correction, so you have to wait a bit longer. But overall, I really like the results. I feel more confident and have people watching.

Gorgeous clinic! I brought my wife here to get her wisdom teeth removed. She said the doctor was really gentle and gave her a very pleasant experience! The price is also much better than expected! (I thought it would be more expensive base on just a beautifully designed clinic!)

The first thing I like is the good atmosphere. The shop is so beautiful that I accidentally entered it when the clinic was not open yet because I thought it was a cafe. 555+ It is beautiful and stylish, breaking all the rules of dental clinics I have been to. Today, I took my child to the dentist with Dr. Sun, a pediatric specialist. The doctor explained in great detail, gave advice on how to take care of the teeth, and had equipment to trick the child into staying still. The assistants were also lovely and friendly. They also provided toys. Plus, I got a lot of balloons to take home. I highly recommend it.

I came for full mouth restoration. I contacted the clinic in advance, the clinic quickly respond with treatment options (all details & prices listed out) tailored for me. Dr.Arm was very friendly. My treatments were smooth. I am satisfied with the results. The clinic also provided me with noise-cancelling headphone.

I really like the atmosphere in the clinic. Smells like being at a spa. What feels really good is that the clinic is on time. You don't have to wait as long as other places.

I have had a bad experience with dentistry before. But when I come here Both the staff and the doctor provided knowledge and care for us throughout the dental procedure, so we really trusted them and became our regulars.
