En ConfiDental Costa Rica, we focus on transforming smiles with high-quality dental implants. This guide answers common questions about dental implants to help you understand the procedure and decide if it’s the right option for you.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They offer a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, which are designed to match your natural teeth.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Ideal candidates for dental implants should have:
- Healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant
- Good overall health
- A commitment to maintaining proper oral hygiene
Certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking, can impact the success of the implant. A thorough evaluation by our dental professionals will help determine your suitability for the procedure.
What Is the Cost of Dental Implants in Costa Rica?
Costa Rica provides high-quality dental implants at a fraction of the cost found in many other countries.
- Single Dental Implant:
The cost generally ranges from $850 to $950, including the implant. The prices for the abutment and crown are separate.
- All-on-4 Dental Implants:
This procedure typically costs between $9,500 and $12,500 per arch, providing significant savings compared to the average price of $25,000 in the United States.
These competitive prices, along with Costa Rica’s reputation for high-quality dental care, make it a popular destination for individuals seeking dental implant procedures.
What Is the All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure?
The All-on-4 technique involves placing four strategically positioned dental implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This method is ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and are looking for a permanent, stable solution.
Benefits of All-on-4:
- Immediate function with temporary teeth
- Reduced need for bone grafting
- Shorter treatment time
- Cost-effective compared to traditional methods
En ConfiDental Costa Rica, we utilize advanced technology to ensure precise implant placement and optimal results.
