What it is
A crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Common materials include porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-porcelain and zirconia.
Trips needed
Typically 2 visits for a lab-made crown, or 1 visit if the clinic uses same-day CAD/CAM milling.
Questions to ask any clinic
- What material is the crown made of, and is it zirconia, porcelain or metal-based?
- Is the price per crown, and what does it cost to add another crown or a post and core?
- What is the written warranty on the crown, and what does it not cover?
- Where is the crown made, and how long does the lab take?
- What is the license number (cédula profesional) of the dentist who will prepare and place the crown?
Getting to Los Algodones
From Yuma, drive to the Andrade port of entry (CBP port 250201) and park on the US side, then walk across the border on foot. Parking lots on the US side are the usual option; check current parking rules and fees before you go. Walking across is the common route, and the Mexican side clinics are within a short walk. To return to the US you must show a valid passport book, a passport card (land crossings only), or a SENTRI/NEXUS card. Check the live wait times at bwt.cbp.gov before you cross, since lines can vary by time of day. Mexican entry requirements for short visits can differ depending on how far you travel from the border; confirm current rules with the Mexican government before you go.
