Because Los Algodones is one of the most efficient dental hubs in Mexico, patients coming to SOTA Dental can usually complete their crowns within two to three days. Same day teeth are possible in some situations, but we generally recommend giving yourself a little flexibility to ensure the crown fits perfectly and feels natural when you chew. Our Algodones lab team crafts high quality crowns quickly, which is one reason this border town is so popular.
On day one, we take your scans, prepare the tooth, and send everything to the lab. On day two, you typically return for fitting and bite adjustments. If anything needs refinement, the lab can usually finish it later the same day or by the following morning. Because many patients walk across the border from Arizona or California, the quick turnaround makes treatment extremely convenient.
Two to four days is the safest plan, especially during busy winter months when many North Americans visit Algodones for dental care.
