The cost of a same day crown in Mexico typically ranges from $900 to $1,800. Prices depend on the dental clinic, the dentist’s experience, the material used (zirconia, E-max, or porcelain-fused-to-metal), and whether additional procedures like digital scanning are needed. In the United States, the average price is $2,000 (per ADA). That means same day crowns in Mexico are about 30% less than in the U.S.
Mexican clinics usually include the digital scan, custom crown fabrication with CAD/CAM technology, local anesthesia, fitting, and one follow-up visit. In the U.S., the price often covers only the crown itself, with digital impressions, anesthesia, and follow-ups billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.

Fahad MawloodSame day crown procedures in Mexico can offer significant cost savings, but it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lower costs. Same day crowns in Mexico cost $300–$800 per crown compared to $1,000–$2,500 in the US, offering 60–70% savings. | Safety concerns. Potential risks include a 1–2% rate of crown misfit or infection, similar to US rates. These can be minimized by selecting accredited clinics with strict sterilization protocols. |
| Qualified dentists. Many dentists are certified by the Mexican Dental Association, with training in US or European programs and 10+ years of experience. | Follow-up care. Adjustments or repairs may require return travel. Some clinics offer digital consultations to support post-procedure needs. |

COFEPRIS regulations differ from the FDA. However, top clinics meet ISO standards and use FDA-approved materials, reducing regulatory concerns. |
| Fast turnaround. Crowns are designed, fabricated, and placed in a single visit, minimizing time away from home. | Travel logistics. Costs for travel and accommodation can add $400–$900 to the overall expense, depending on location and season. |
