What it is
A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with an abutment and a crown. The total price usually covers the implant, abutment and crown, and may not include bone grafts or sinus lifts.
Trips needed
Typically 2 to 3 trips over several days or weeks, depending on whether the implant needs healing time before the crown is placed. Some clinics offer a one-trip option with a temporary crown.
Questions to ask any clinic
- What implant brand and model will you use, and can you show me the box or certificate?
- What is the written warranty on the implant, the abutment and the crown, and what does it not cover?
- What is the license number (cédula profesional) of the dentist who will do the surgery?
- How are instruments sterilized, and can you show me the sterilization protocol?
- What follow-up care is included, and who treats me if a complication happens after I return home?
