| Q: Are dental implants placed in one session? |
A: Yes. In one single session you will be having your dental implants in your jawbone. Then after 3-6 months you will return for your abutment or crown. |
| Q: How long does it takes to place them? |
A: One to two hours the most. |
| Q: Is it a painful procedure? |
A: We place local anesthesia and the pain is minimized. If you are a very anxious patient we have the option of sedation dentistry at an extra cost. |
| Q: Will I get the 3 stages: implant+abutment+crown in that same session? |
A: No. After we place the implants you return home and let the healing process begin: The osseo integration. This means that the jawbone accepts and bonds with the dental implant. This takes from 3 to 6 months. |
| Q: Why do I have to wait 3-6 months to return for my abutment and crown? |
A: Because your jawbone must accept the implant in your body, and the Osseointegration natural process must be completed. |
| Q: Will I have temporary teeth over those implants meanwhile we wait those months? |
A: In MOST cases, yes. There are some very specific cases where the doctor decides he does not wants any type of pressure over the implant just placed until you get your abutment and crown. Depends on your bone structure and grinding forces. In 80% of the cases you will get a temporarie so you will have all teeth, but there are some cases where nothing could be over the implant. It all depends in your jawbone density. That is something the doctor will explain and decide with you. |
| Q: Could my body reject the dental implant? |
A: The dental implant is made of titanium which is bio-compatible and usually your body will embrace it successfully. But it can happen that your dental implant "fails", there is a 12% chance that the dental implant comes out from your jaw immediately or even years before the procedure. Dental Implants are made of Titanium, we all know that bone loves Titanium, but it can happen that your bone quality is poor or that your masticatory force place the dental implant under excess function or or basically your body gets an infection or you have a poor hygiene. It is your natural body reaction and there is no way to guarantee on a 100% successful results on a dental implant procedure. Oral hygiene plays an important role to avoid implant failure. Smokers have higher chances to lose dental implants. |
| Q: Could I get an infection for getting Dental Implants? |
A: It could happen if you do not take your antibiotics as prescribed. If you are a smoker or if you have poor hygiene. The aftercare of your dental implants is your sole responsability. Dental Implants come laser sterilized and should be no infection. |
| Q: If I am a smoker, can I still have dental implants? |
A: Yes you can, but there is a big chance (25%) you will lose it. We give no warranty at all on lost or rejected implants on smokers. |
| Q: Can I get the dental Implants with you and get the abutment and crown in the USA in case I can not return to your clinic? |
A: Yes. No problem, you will have a copy of the type of implant and size of the implant previously placed. Also, you can get here the abutment and crowns of Implants placed somewhere else. |
| Q: Does the $990 US is the cost for the complete process? |
A: This price covers only the dental implant. Abutment and crown is a separate cost. The cost of the complete process (Implant + Abutment + Crown) is $1,740 US |
| Q: What happens if I can not return to get my abutment and crown? |
A: No problem, you will get a copy of the type, brand and size of implant you just got and any cosmetic dentist in the USA will be able to complete it. |
