Pay only $450 for a Zirconia Crown in Los Algodones*
Zirconia Crowns in Mexico near Yuma, Arizona are a pocket-friendly way to restore the shape, strength and size of damaged teeth. Cracked, chipped, worn off or decaying teeth can be covered by dental crowns. These fit over whatever remains of the affected teeth, and restore aesthetics and strength in them.
Crowns made of zirconia – an all-ceramic material – are known for their biocompatility and strength but may cost a lot in the United States or Canada. However, cheaper options for zirconia crowns exist in Mexico just a few miles from Yuma.
Unaffordable dental costs, lack of health insurance and dental benefits are primary factors for pushing westerners to cross-country dental care in Mexico. As per an American Dental Association (ADA) statement released in 2015, there was a high prevalence of dental caries among the US adults. 91% of Americans over 20 have had cavities at some point in their lives and 27% of adults over 20 have untreated caries1.
The American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) states more than 35 million Americans are missing all their teeth in one or both jaws and 15 million people in the U.S. have crown and bridge replacements for the same.

In comparison to the US, real estate and labor costs are lower in Mexico. The cost of setting up a dental clinic and maintaining the same in the US can run into thousands of dollars.
Affordable Dental Schools
In Mexico, dentist’s education is subsidized by the government. The students don’t graduate with high dental education debt as their American counterparts.
No Malpractice Insurance
The cost of dental procedures is less in Mexico because of reduced insurance costs. It is not mandatory for dental clinics in Mexico to have malpractice insurance.
More elaborate procedures too such as full mouth rehabilitation or all on 4 implants in Los Algodones also cost much lower than in other parts of North America.
