What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible part of a tooth. It restores a tooth that is cracked, badly worn, heavily filled or weakened after a root canal, giving it back its shape, strength and color. Unlike a filling, a crown protects the tooth from every side, which is why it is the standard of care for teeth that have lost a large amount of structure.

At Tooth Implant Co. in Los Algodones, every crown is planned around your bite. A beautiful crown that hits too high will chip, ache or fracture; that is why Dr. Galindo checks occlusion at the try-in before anything is permanently cemented.

Who needs a crown?

Teeth with large old fillings that are cracking or leaking
Teeth that have had a root canal (especially molars)
Broken or fractured teeth
Teeth worn down by grinding or acid erosion
Discolored or misshapen teeth where veneers are not enough

Final visit
Try-in & reveal
We check fit, shade and bite with you in the chair, then bond the final restorations. Walk home smiling.

Caring for your new crowns

A crown cannot decay, but the tooth underneath can. Brush twice a day, floss or use interdental brushes around the gum line, and keep up with cleanings at home. If you clench or grind at night, a custom night guard is the single best way to protect zirconia and porcelain.

When crowns and veneers work together

Many smile makeovers combine crowns on heavily restored teeth with porcelain veneers on healthy teeth. Dr. Galindo and Dr. Rafa plan these cases together so color and shape match perfectly across the smile.

Crowns after a root canal

Back teeth that have had root canal treatment become brittle and should be crowned to prevent fractures. We can complete the root canal and crown in the same trip.

Dr. Galindo

Restorative & Crown Specialist

Patients know him as “Doctor Painless.” Those who cross the border for crowns usually have one fear: that the crowns will not fit their bite once they get home. Dr. Galindo plans every case around occlusion first, checking contacts and jaw movement at the try-in, so the restoration feels like it was always there.

3 zirconia crowns

I highly recommend The Implant Co. with Dr. Luis Galindo Sanchez, better known as “Doctor Painless.” After X-rays and a thorough exam, he confirmed exactly what my dentist in Yuma had said: I needed three crowns with tooth buildup. He got right to work and finished all the crown prep in about two hours. I returned the next day to place and fit the 3 crowns, and they are perfect. The total cost for all three zirconia crowns was less than what my Yuma dentist quoted me for just one crown, and that was with a top-tier Delta Dental PPO plan.

28 zirconia crowns

I traveled from Sacramento, California to see Dr. Luis Galindo in Los Algodones, Mexico, for a full-mouth restoration of 28 crowns, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! My brother previously had implants done here and was so impressed by the exceptional service that he strongly recommended him to me. My new smile with my 28 zirconia crowns looks incredible! Dr. Galindo is exceptionally caring, the clinic is spotless and equipped with modern technology, and the staff is wonderful.

The dentist is an artist. So much better than any New York dentist I’ve been to. Everyone there treated me good. The price was 6K+ cheaper than New York prices. I highly recommend this place.

?FAQ

Dental crown questions

How much does a dental crown cost in Los Algodones?

At Tooth Implant Co. a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown is $300, a zirconia crown is $349 and an E.max crown is $500. The same crowns typically cost $1,100 to $1,600 in the United States.

How long does it take to get a crown in Los Algodones?

Most crown cases are completed in 3 to 5 working days. If the tooth needs a root canal or build-up first, plan for one extra day.

Which crown is best: zirconia or E.max?

Zirconia is the strongest option and is ideal for molars and patients who grind. E.max (lithium disilicate) has slightly higher translucency and is often preferred for front teeth. Dr. Galindo will recommend the right material for each tooth.

How long do zirconia crowns last?

With good hygiene and regular check-ups, zirconia crowns commonly last 15 years or more. Wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth extends their life significantly.

Is there a warranty on crowns?

Yes. Every crown is covered by a written warranty and you receive your treatment records and X-rays to take home.
