A single-tooth prosthesis replaces a missing or damaged tooth at Perfect Smile Dental in Tijuana, Mexico. Options may cost around $550–$2,500, depending on whether treatment uses a crown or implant. Dr. Omar Espinosa has advanced training in implant dentistry, and the clinic has an in-house CAD/CAM lab.
Tooth replacement options and package prices
A prosthesis may be an implant-supported crown or a crown placed over a natural tooth. The clinic offers these options:
- Zirconia crown: around $550, with digital scans, smile design, local anesthetic, and a 5-year crown warranty.
- Silver implant package: around $1,700, with a generic implant, titanium abutment, porcelain crown, and 1-year warranties on the implant and crown.
- Platinum implant package: around $2,500, with a Straumann implant, titanium abutment, zirconia crown, and 7-year warranties on the implant and crown.
The implant packages include an evaluation and digital intraoral scan. Both involve 2–3 visits; crown treatment may take 2–4 visits.
Planning and treatment
Planning may include a 3D CT scan, digital X-rays, face and intraoral scans, and a blood test before surgery. During the first implant visit, the dentist may remove a tooth if needed, place the implant, and fit a temporary crown.
Implants need 3–6 months to fuse with the jawbone. After healing, the implant is exposed and fitted with a healing abutment, followed by the permanent crown. Initial healing often takes 1–2 weeks.
Dr. Espinosa completed an Oral Implantology Fellowship at the University of Las Vegas. He is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the Academy of Osseointegration. The clinic follows ADA, OSHA, and CDC infection control standards.
Care includes prescription medication, follow-up visits, and oral hygiene instructions. To explore which tooth replacement option may fit your needs, request a consultation through Bookimed.
