Dr. Jorge Arciga - Cabo San Lucas Dental - Dental Health in Los Cabos, México

How Long ?

How much time is it necessary to get my work done?

Once you decided to come to Cabo for your dental treatment, you'd like to know how many days we need to get it done before your departure day

Porcelain crowns, venners, root canals, bleaching, cleaning:

The most usual kind of  work because a patient decides to come to Cabo are porcelain crowns, fillings, and possibly root canals.

We always advise a one week visit. Typically your flight lands at evening, so next morning you could be sitting in the dentist stool, all the porcelain crowns preparations, impression and root canals can be (have to) ready this day; it is important the laboratory technician starts to work in your crowns as soon as possible, fillings, bleaching, cleaning, periodontal procedures, can be done on the day 3, since we have no urge to send to lab for this procedures, that will be done in the dental chair.

The laboratory will send the crowns the day 5, your bitting has to get perfectly adjusted. If you got a root canal and the post is still not located, Dr arciga will make the adaptation at this moment. By the time you leave the dental office you must feel a comfortable biting. Chances are that the next morning you still feel a high spot, so we are still in time to adjust it. Most times no necessity of this extra visit. By the day 7 you depart back home.
