EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DENTAL IMPLANTS IN COSTA RICA
A dental implant is a titanium device that we insert into the jaw bone and serves as a replacement for the root of a lost tooth and as a base for screwing a crown after a specific healing process.
The Costa Rica dental implant cost is very competitive compared to the US. You can save up to 65% on all dental treatments. A Dental Implant cost in Costa Rica goes between $800 to $900, plus the implant abutment and crown could go up to $1650. The total price for a unique Dental Implant is on average third of the cost in the USA, depending on your state.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?
A good candidate for dental implants is a person who has enough bone in the jaw for the procedure. If the person does not have enough bone structure, we can solve this with bone grafting too.
It is important to stop smoking and alcohol abuse before you undergo treatment. If you have chronic diseases (like high blood pressure, or diabetes) it’s necessary to have them under control before the procedure.
WHAT TYPES OF IMPLANTS DO WE USE?
We use titanium implants. We’ve been using them for more than 20 years and they’ve given us excellent results. the brands we have used are Zimmer Biomet Dental, which global experts recognize as one of the companies at the forefront of technological changes. Also, Nobel Biocare is also a leader in the industry and is one of the oldest.
They make improvements in technology frequently and their products are great. We are now starting to bring zirconium implants into the country, because people are asking for them as there are some patients who are allergic to metals, and, in those cases, the implant needs to be of a different material.
Benefits of dental implants
One of the most common solutions that we offer to our patients is dental implants. Dental implants offer several benefits over other solutions for restoring lost teeth because they
Look and feel like natural teeth.
Are as strong as natural teeth.
They are as stable as natural teeth.
Last for years or even decades. Today, implants are a lifetime solution.
Require almost the same care as natural teeth.
At ConfiDental Costa Rica, we can restore your lost teeth with truly affordable dental implants. The process may take several steps and may require you to return to Costa Rica for a second trip. We also offer a one-day teeth solution.
After you have decided to get dental implants, we will take a look at your case to see if implants are the best option for you. If implants are recommended, your dental surgery will be scheduled. In this surgery, dental implants will be inserted into your jawbone. In some cases, abutments are placed on top of the implants, or perhaps in a subsequent procedure.
Once inserted, the dental implants start a process called osseointegration, in which they become part of the jawbone. Osseointegration is what gives the implants their strength, durability, and stability. They literally become part of your jawbone.
Once the abutments are in place, the dentist attaches the restorations (artificial teeth) to them. These may be a single crown or a bridge with several replacements.
The procedure takes place over four to six months and will change your life for the better.
For the rest of your life, you’ll be able to eat whatever you want, smile and laugh with confidence, and look at yourself in the mirror with pride.
