Many patients think they are too old to get dental implants and think that they will have to conform with an old regular denture. Their life quality gets affected because of this. People over 65 have an average of 18.9 teeth of the 32 that form the complete denture. About 25% of people in the same group do not have any teeth. People who have smoked or smoked in the past have a higher incidence of dentalloss. These statistics show that for many older people it is normal to lose a tooth, but this should not cause a decrease in oral health or make it impossible to smile. Dental implants are an ideal solution to combat tooth loss.
Dental implants allow you to chew food with the same confidence as natural teeth. They connect directly to the jaw and do not damage adjacent teeth. They are designed to mimic natural teeth in their color and appearance. They are very durable lasting from 5 to 10 years or even longer with the proper care.
The only real age constraints for dental implants is for younger people, as patients must have reached adulthood so their bones stopped growing. If the space between the teeth changes, that can be a problem because the dental implant’s position might shift. The ideal candidate for dental implants should have:
Good general health
Adequate amount of bone
No Periodontal disease on the gums
Older people achieve similar success rates than younger people if they fulfill this criteria and don’t have a history of smoking. In the case that the patient doesn’t have enough bone left, we can do a bone graft or a sinus lift to help with the integrity of the bone.

What are dental prostheses? Dental Implants, Dentures, Partials, Bars in Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental prostheses are an artificial replacements for natural teeth. They can be made of acrylic, porcelain and other resin materials with high resistance. They are made to look real and, in most cases, are the best solution for partially or totally edentulous patients. When replacing complete dentures, a whole set of dental prostheses is used (like All-on-4, all-on-6 or snap in dentures), but when we only fix a few gaps, we use what we call partial prostheses (like flippers or dental implant bridges).
Here in Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry, we work with the imported best materials, approved by the FDA. These are the same materials you would find on your dentist in USA. We have years of experience with dental prostheses and dental implants, specially on screw retained titanium bars for full mouth restorations. We can do a complete smile makeover in approximately between 8 and 10 working days, the perfect time to have a vacation in Cancun.
Failure to remedy tooth loss is not an option. Leaving the mouth with gaps can generate a lot of problems, both at a functional and aesthetic level. In fact, a toothless mouth creates a premature aging sensation in the face: the chin is pronounced and the lips are drawn in, among other consequences. But there are more reasons that can force us to use dental prostheses:
The patient has the opportunity to give his smile a natural look.
Dental prostheses act as a method of prevention against different oral diseases, like bone loss (also known as bone resorption).
The patient has trouble eating and his nutrition is gravely affected.

What is a dental restoration? – Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry
What is a dental restoration? - Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry
Hundreds of people are coming to Cancun to get a complete dental restoration, but what does that mean? Are you a candidate for a dental restoration? Is that the same as a smile makeover?
To start, a dental restoration is a dentistry treatment for recovering or reinforcing the general structure and function of a tooth. It usually is the treatment to go when dealing with decay on the surface or the interior of a tooth, after it has had a root canal. When the pulp and the nerve affected by the dental decay is extracted, the tooth is filled with a special material so it can withstand the normal pressure of biting and chewing, as otherwise the tooth would cave in or eventually crumble because it’s structure is empty, compromising the whole tooth integrity. Also, a root canal will need to have a dental crown.
Another option for dental restorations are dental implants. They replace a missing tooth completely, acting as the root and using an abutment to hold a porcelain crown in place that will work just like a real tooth. They are the perfect option for people wanting to prevent bone loss and other complications, while restoring the look of their smiles.
On the other hand, if only the outer layer of the tooth is affected then maybe dental veneers can be an option for you. This is an treatment where thin veneers of porcelain are placed in the front of the tooth. This is a suitable solution for a good number of cases, such as dental stains or to solve problems related to dental misalignment, also known as diastema.

To put it bluntly, one of the main reasons why people are preferring dental tourism in Mexico and dental tourism in Cancun more and more is so they can enjoy a state of the art facility and highly professional dentists without having to go bankrupt. Just like Medical tourism, the prices of health care in USA have sky rocketed for a number of factors and people are suffering because of it. Insurance companies won’t cover some dental work claiming it’s only cosmetic, without understanding the importance of teeth on a social level. Not being able to smile or suffering from crippling social anxiety can affect your life and happiness… sometimes even your health. The cost of fixing a single tooth with a dental implantcan reach up to $3000 USD without counting the abutment and crown.

Patient review of dental work in Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry!
Affordable dental work
Matthew found the most affordable cosmetic dental work with the best service at our clinic. He was looking for a way to improve his smile and decided to get veneers.Porcelain veneers allow you to change the general shape and color of your teeth without having to prepare the whole surface of the tooth like with a porcelain crown. This is a great option for a smile makeover, specially now that we have a Summer Special deal (this is a limited time offer)!
Check out the video and Matthew’s comments!
Hi, my name is Matthew, I’m from Washington DC. I came to Cancun to get some bridge dental work and some veneers done and I’m very excited about it. I learned a lot about Doctor A. (Arzate) from the postings online and a lot of research. I watched a lot of videos and I’m very excited to get more done. It’s going to be great!

Getting a Root Canal and affordable dentistry in Cancun!
root-canal-dental-tourism-medical-tourism-cancun
Do you need a root canal but the prices are too high on USA? Some people might find surprising that there are plenty of other patients traveling to Cancun for medical tourism, specially for dental tourism in Cancun. These people know that our clinic is a high-end facility where they will find the best dental care and cosmetic dentistry services. Not all of them come for full smile makeovers but only for general dentistry services like root canals. They take the opportunity to have it done for cheap during their vacation, killing two birds with one stone. In fact we have one extremely experienced Endodontic Specialist, Dr. Olivia Arriaga who will help you take away the pain away from your tooth.
Here are some questions that were asked to us about Root Canals and we would like to share them with you.
How long can a root canal last?
Endodontics do not last for a lifetime, the time will depend on the care taken later on hygiene. It usually should last around 10 years. You should also remember that a root canal is a last ditch effort to save a dental piece. It is likely that your tooth will give you problems so you need to get your yearly dental check ups to ensure everything goes ok.
Why do I need to wear a dental crown?
It is important to protect our tooth with a crown as this will give you greater stability than just covering it up. Otherwise you could risk to having to redo the root canal. Once an endodontic is done, it is important to rehabilitate days after the root canal treatment. If you wait to rehabilitate weeks or months later possibly in the future there is a high chance that something might go wrong with your tooth.

Snap in Dentures patient video review testimonial Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry
Snap in Dentures are mini implant dentures that can improve your life quality by giving you the chance to enjoy food again and giving you back your confidence. There are many things you can’t eat while eating regular dentures like sticky foods that would make your teeth move or fall. Hundreds of people would give up their favorite meals because they don’t have the confidence of eating them again. Others would have denture problems because of the gag reflex from the roof of the palate. All of these denture issues can affect your nutrition and give you more health problems. Snap in Dentures is a perfect solution. Here we see our dear patient Amber trying her new teeth for the first time and enjoying a snicker bar after many years:
So today we are done! After six days! And I have Amber here from New York. How many years without having a snicker?
uh… like two, three, four years. This is amazing! Are you saying I’m going to eat this?
Please do it!
Wow, no way! This is the greatest day of my life! Okay! Oh I forgot…
You forgot? How to eat it? One of the most complex things to do is to eat a snickers because they are so strong… and your dentures, it would stick to your dentures. So after three years let’s see Amber. After 6 days that we did that surgery.
No way! OH MY GOD. Bring me all the chocolate!
all the chocolate! Now you are going to have more confidence about the way you eat.
And it doesn’t stick…
No. They don’t move. They are anchored over implants. Snap in Dentures are anchored over implants, and I’m glad that you are able to eat. So go for celery, go for snickers, go for an apple, go for different things! Whatever you mention! There is no restriction. As long as you are confident and you feel strong, that’s the way that it works. Snap in Dentures, they really work! Thank you! Thank you! I love the way that she bites. Do you think you can make it with nuts?
Oh, they are my favorite.
Oh! We are going to try that one! Later on! Go for snickers! Thank you! Doctor German Arzate, Snap in Dentures, Sunny Cancun, thank you for watching!

All-on-6 dental implant treatment review in Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry
all-on-6-dental-implant-treatment-review-video
We have a new patient with All-on-6 dental implants and Doctor German Arzate made a video with him to explain about his treatment at our dental clinic in Cancun. All-on-6 is a classic treatment for mouth restoration with a permanent titanium bar.
Doctor German Arzate DDS: Hello everyone! This is the classical way of putting implants. All-on-6. This is the third day he’s been here. See how good the healing process we have. The gums, they look really good. They look pink. A little bruise here because we didn’t have no bone but now we have three implants on this side, we have three implants on the other side. See there are no external bruises, there’s nothing. We did a surgery from here to here, just to put 6 implants. Everything looks ok. These are the stitches that they are going to dissolve by themselves. What we do is that obviously, once we have the implants, we don’t want them to below so what we do is that we set a denture, is a temporary denture. How long it took to put in the implants? Like 2 hours, no?
“Yeah, two, it didn’t take long.”
Doctor German Arzate DDS: Two or three hours. There was no IV sedation. There was nothing because he was a very tough patient. What about the pain? Tell us about the pain.
“I didn’t have much pain.”
Doctor German Arzate DDS: No? That’s good, that’s good to know. I know that from the begining there’s like ‘ok, I come with teeth, am I going to leave without teeth?’ but no, aftar five days you will… will you smile for me? We have teeth, obviously, we have teeth. And I thank you for trusting and I just wanted to make this video becuase this can help many people that want to do implants, but they don’t know, ‘Am I going to be without teeth’ or ‘what’s going to be the procedure?’. I really thank you for helping me do videos for the many patients that we have. Just relax in five days, meanwhile we have the procedure, so he’s going to go back with teeth. Next time you come I always request that you only give between 8 to 10 days, because then we need to do those abutments, take impressions of those abutments and now we are ready to put that hybrid bar. We call it hybrid bar because is metal/porcelain or metal/acrylic, depends on the technique and the way is going to be matching the lowers.
