At SOTA Dental in Playa del Carmen, root canals are usually completed in a single day, provided the tooth has fully healed from any infection. If the doctor detects inflammation, swelling, or trapped bacteria, we may ask you to take antibiotics for a few days before the procedure. Once the infection is clear, the treatment can be done safely.
Playa del Carmen is home to one of our top microscope endodontists, Dr. Gruber. He performs extremely precise work, using magnification to locate and clean all canals thoroughly. This reduces the chance of failure and gives patients a much smoother recovery. The actual root canal appointment generally takes one to two hours.
Most patients relax at their hotel afterward and enjoy the beach town the same day. If a crown is needed, we will coordinate with our partnered boutique esthetic lab to schedule try ins and delivery based on your travel plans.
