Ajijic Dental Crowns - Guide to Crowns in Ajijic
Restore or improve your tooth’s appearance with dental crowns in Ajijic and find out how you can save around 75% by booking with one of Dental Departures’ quality-checked dentists.
What are dental crowns?
A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over your tooth to strengthen or restore the natural appearance. It is sometimes known as a cap and can be made from porcelain or gold or a combination of materials.
What is the procedure for dental crowns?
Your tooth will have to be prepared so that it is the ideal shape to receive the crown. Your dentist will have to remove most of the outer surface, leaving a strong inner core. The crown will be the same thickness as the removed part of the tooth. Once this is done, an impression is taken of your teeth, which are then sent along to the lab for the crown to be made.
You will usually be fitted with a temporary crown until your permanent crown is ready. You will then return to your dentist to have it fitted. Your dentist may have to make some more adjustments to your tooth to ensure a perfect fit, and once you and the dentist are happy with the appearance and fit, it will be affixed permanently in place with special adhesive. This forms a strong seal to hold the crown in place.
How long do dental crowns take in Ajijic?
Depending on what technology your dentist uses, it is possible for your crown to be made in a day. Computerized technology allows some dentists to make the crown in the surgery and you can have it fitted on the same day.
In most cases, however, it usually takes around four days. You will have appointments with your dentist on the first and last day, and the time in between is when the lab work is being done.
How much do dental crowns cost in Ajijic compared to the US and Canada?
In the United States and Canada, the price may vary considerably, but the average price is around $1,150. In Ajijic, they are around $200 – a huge saving of over 80%.
How do I care for my crowns and how long do they last?
Properly looked after, dental crowns should last for years, but you will need to take care of your dental health to make sure the crown stays viable. The crown itself doesn’t decay like a normal tooth, but decay can start where the edge of the crown joins your tooth. It is important to keep this area clean, just as you would your natural tooth. It doesn’t need any extra care and if you are brushing and flossing regularly, as your dentist recommends, then you shouldn’t have any problems.
