What is the timeline for dental implant procedures?

What is the timeline for dental implant procedures? Generally, a dental implant procedure spans across 2-3 appointments.

First Appointment:

During this initial visit, which typically takes between 5-12 days, the dental implant is placed. We also provide a temporary prosthesis (artificial teeth) to ensure you can continue your regular eating habits without inconvenience.

Second Appointment:

Scheduled 3-6 months following the first visit, this appointment may last up to 5 days and involves the placement of porcelain teeth or dentures.

Please note, an additional appointment may be necessary if bone graft surgery is part of your dental implant procedure.

Do you need bone grafting for dental implants?

Bone grafting is a procedure typically necessary for individuals exhibiting inadequate jawbone quality. This process involves using natural or synthetic bone material to replenish areas with significant bone loss. It typically requires a period of 4-6 months for the newly grafted bone to develop a structure robust enough to securely anchor a dental implant.

Am I a candidate for All on 4?

When considering dental implants abroad, it’s important to be aware of certain medical conditions that may affect your eligibility. Here are some conditions to consider:

Systemic Diseases: Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, HIV/AIDS, ongoing cancer treatments, and alcoholism may prevent you from receiving dental implants.

Heavy Smoking: Smoking heavily can hinder the healing process of dental implants. Your dentist in Mexico will likely request that you refrain from smoking for a specified period before and after the implant surgery.

Periodontal Disease: Active periodontal disease can be a barrier to getting dental implants. However, skilled implant specialists in Mexico can address your periodontal disease or refer you to a periodontist within the same practice to ensure optimal oral health before proceeding with the implant procedure. The best part is, you can receive this treatment at a significantly lower cost compared to local options.

Severe Bone Loss: Older patients who have worn full mouth dentures for many years may experience significant bone loss, making certain types of bone grafting procedures extensive and risky for their overall health.

What is the success rate of the All on 4 procedure?

The All on Four treatment stands as a highly successful dental procedure in today’s field of dentistry, showcasing an impressive average success rate of 96% when carried out by a skilled and experienced All on Four dentist.

Is the All-On-4 Procedure painful?

The level of discomfort associated with the All-On-4 procedure is often less than expected by most patients. This can be attributed to several factors, including the availability of local anesthesia or IV sedation for pain management. Furthermore, the dentists providing All-On-4 implants undergo extensive training and possess considerable experience, contributing to a smoother and less painful experience for patients. After undergoing the procedure, it is common to experience some soreness and inflammation in your gums.

How long is the healing period for an All-On-4?

The recovery period for All-on-4 is significantly shorter compared to traditional dental implants, which typically require 3 to 4 months of recovery time. With All-on-4, the implants start fusing with your bone from the very first day. In fact, some individuals are able to resume eating solid foods on the day of the procedure itself. This faster healing process is one of the advantages of All-on-4 implant treatment.

Will All-On-4 Provide Natural-Looking Teeth?

Absolutely! Patients who undergo All-on-4 treatment are usually delighted with the remarkable resemblance of the implants to their natural teeth, both in terms of appearance and functionality.
