Why have Root Canals in Puerto Vallarta?

Although dentist training in Mexico has generally been thought to be below standards in the West this has changed significantly over recent years.  The Mexican Dental Association(ADM) now has a professional certification program, much like its US equivalent, the American Dental Association (ADA). Whilst this is not mandatory, most modern dentists, especially those treating overseas patients, all have professional certification.

How long do Root Canal Treatments take in Puerto Vallarta?

How long your root canal treatment takes will depend on whether you are having just the root canal treatment or the root canal treatment and crown restoration.

Root canal treatment can usually be completed in one or two appointments. However, there are some factors which may affect this. If you have an infection or abscess then you may have to take antibiotics to clear up the infection. Thus, root canal treatment may not be able to start until up to 10 days after the antibiotics have commenced.

If you are having a restoration this can begin once the root canal treatment has completed satisfactorily. Impressions of the tooth are sent to the laboratory to make the crown. This is returned to your dentist who cements it in place. This process may take around 3 days and 2 appointments at your dentist.

A simple root canal with little or no infection may take up to a week with post-core and crown but it may be up to 2 weeks for severe infections.
