About the clinic
Crown lengthening at SoftDentalCare Clinic in Los Algodones, Mexico, is a specialized gum procedure that typically runs around $200. The treatment is performed by Dr. Mario A. Garibay, who has over 25 years of experience in restorative and periodontal care. This procedure helps prepare teeth for crowns or improves the appearance of a gummy smile at an accredited facility near the US border.
Expert Periodontal Care
Dr. Mario A. Garibay leads the dental team with over 25 years of clinical practice. He earned his dentistry degree from the University of Veracruz and completed advanced implantology training at Loma Linda University. Dr. Garibay maintains a specific focus on periodontal health, which involves the tissues and bone supporting the teeth. He regularly attends continuing education courses to keep his skills in cosmetic and restorative dentistry current.
The Crown Lengthening Procedure
Crown lengthening is a type of periodontal surgery. It involves reshaping the gum tissue and sometimes the bone to expose more of the natural tooth. This is often necessary if a tooth is broken below the gum line or if there is not enough tooth structure to hold a crown. The process includes several steps to help with a successful outcome:
- A full dental exam and review of your medical history
- Standard X-rays to check the tooth structure
- Panoramic X-rays to see the teeth and bone below the gum line
- Precise surgical reshaping of the gum area
Clinic Quality and Location
SoftDentalCare Clinic holds accreditation from the Mexican Dental Association. This means the facility follows recognized national standards for safety and care. The clinic is a popular choice for patients from the US, Canada, and Australia. It is located only a few meters from the US border crossing in Los Algodones. This makes it a convenient option for international travelers looking for affordable dental surgery.

SoftDentalCare: Committed to Compassionate Dental Care
The SoftDentalCare team is dedicated to providing compassionate and respectful dental care to all patients. The medical team offers a comprehensive range of skilled dental services to address patients' oral health needs. In a judgment-free environment, they work together to determine the best treatment plan that aligns with patients' needs and preferences.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth directly to the jawbone. This technique is suitable for individuals missing one or multiple teeth. A titanium screw, resembling a tooth root, is inserted into the jawbone. This foundation supports a single natural-looking artificial tooth, a bridge, or a set of dentures, effectively replicating the function and appearance of missing teeth. Dental implants restore your ability to chew and smile with confidence.
Cosmetic Dentistry
If the patient is dissatisfied with the appearance of the teeth or has cracked, broken, or decayed teeth, cosmetic and restorative dentistry may be the right solution for the patient. Various dental procedures can transform patient's smile, giving the pearly whites the patient constantly desired and restoring confidence to chew and smile freely. SoftDentalCare in Los Algodones offers a range of affordable treatment options for patients with stained, crooked, cracked, or worn teeth.
General Dentistry
The foundation of excellent oral health begins with a thorough dental exam. Upon the patient's visit, the clinic's team will review their medical history and address any concerns regarding their teeth, mouth, or oral health. A comprehensive dental examination will be performed, and the health of the patient's gum tissue will be assessed. Additionally, X-rays will be taken, and, if necessary, panoramic X-rays will be obtained to visualize the patient's teeth below the gum line. Dr. Mario will discuss the diagnosis and potential treatment options, answering all questions and carefully considering the patient's needs and concerns. Together, the clinic's team and the patient will collaborate to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry encompasses techniques that promote long-term oral health, preventing cavities, gum disease, and other forms of dental damage. Regular dental checkups and cleanings, the most common preventive dentistry practices, are cost-effective treatments that can prevent costly dental procedures in the future. Dr. Mario A. Garibay provides cleanings for patients seeking to maintain their teeth's cleanliness, strength, and brightness for years to come.

I have been coming to Dr. Mario for several years now. Mario is very friendly, easy to talk to and a good listener. I always felt like he has my best interest in mind. He is very knowledgeable and always available for my questions. I am very satisfied with his work and so is my dentist back home.

This is a modest office but don't let that scare you. It has all the necessary equipment and Dr. Garibay and his wife are both wonderful. I have been to Los Algodones at least 4 times and at first saw a higher priced dentist with a fancier office and paid for mini implants that failed within a few years. I was required to pay that dentist for regular implants recently developed for small jaws which were considerably more expensive. That is why I changed dentists. Dr. Garibay immediately noted that my jaw was very small and that I might have to return after healing to get the work finished so that the implants would not fail. The other dentist completely blamed me for the failure of my upper mini implants although I had followed every instruction he gave me. Obviously Dr. Garibay is the better dentist. He has very reasonable prices and I cannot thank he or his wife enough for the many extra kindnesses and help they provided.
