A root canal in Tijuana at SOTA Dental is usually completed in a single appointment once the tooth is free from infection. Since Tijuana is one of the busiest crossings between the United States and Mexico, many of our patients arrive in the morning, complete their treatment, and return across the border later the same day. The typical procedure takes one to two hours depending on the number of canals and the tooth position.
If the tooth shows signs of infection, our doctors may delay the procedure and start a course of antibiotics before completing the root canal. It is important to give the body time to calm the infection so the treatment is successful and comfortable. Once the tooth responds to medication, the root canal can be completed quickly.
Tijuana is one of the most convenient options for patients from California, Arizona, and Nevada. Most people only need one clinical day unless a crown is required, which can take additional time for fabrication.
