Temporary crown in Mexico: Pros and Cons

Temporary crowns in Mexico can offer significant cost savings, but it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.

Pros Cons
Lower costs. Temporary crowns in Mexico cost $160–$570 versus $1,000+ in the US, offering savings of up to 60%. Safety concerns. Potential risks include a 2–5% chance of dislodgement or discomfort, comparable to US rates. These can be minimized by choosing clinics with experienced dentists and modern equipment.
Qualified dentists. Dentists are often certified by the Mexican Dental Association, many with training in US or European programs and 10+ years of experience. Follow-up care. Adjustments or repairs may require additional travel. Some clinics offer remote consultations or short-stay options to help manage this challenge.
Modern facilities. Clinics use CAD/CAM technology and adhere to ISO 9001 standards for precise crown fittings and infection control. Different regulatory standards. COFEPRIS standards differ from the FDA, but top clinics follow international protocols and often use FDA-approved materials.
Fast turnaround. Temporary crowns can often be made and placed within one day, reducing wait times compared to some US clinics. Material durability. Temporary crowns are less durable than permanent crowns, with a typical lifespan of a few weeks to a few months.
Personal coordinator support. Bookimed’s medical coordinator helps compare clinics, request personalized quotes, and manage treatment logistics at no additional cost.

It's crucial to thoroughly research clinics and verify surgeon credentials before making a decision. When performed by qualified dentists in reputable facilities, temporary crowns in Mexico can be a safe and affordable solution for short-term dental needs.

We are very satisfied with the quality of work, the professionalism of Dr
This time we contacted the dental center of Mexico Dentavida to Dr. Alberto Guvera. We are very satisfied with the quality of work, the professionalism of Dr. Alberto. But in the case of my husband, a medical mistake was made in Turkish dentistry when installing crowns, which we will try to solve in the near future. Then we will share the results.

Thanks to the Bookimed consultants for their excellent work in providing timely assistance in finding the right clinic in any region of the world. In our case, our family is collaborating for the second time on the problem of dental treatment, the installation of zirconium crowns (autumn 2022, February 2023).
