At Perfect Smile Dental in Tijuana, Mexico, Immediate All-on-4 Dental Implants use four titanium implants, with temporary teeth usually placed within 24 hours. The Platinum half-mouth option may cost around $7,500 for the first visit and $2,500 for the second. FLEX per arch may cost around $5,000 for the first visit and $2,500 for the second.
Four implants and two treatment stages
Dr. Omar Espinosa, an advanced implant surgeon, completed an oral implantology fellowship through California Implant Institute/UNLV. He is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
The first stage includes scans, implant placement, and a temporary denture. Platinum also includes extractions except wisdom teeth, a 2cc bone graft, platelet-rich fibrin therapy, and IV sedation. FLEX includes oral sedation, but its listed package does not include those Platinum additions.
After 3–6 months of healing, the second stage fits four titanium abutments and a permanent hybrid acrylic prosthesis. It is fixed with screws and designed using digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology. The Platinum package lists a five-year warranty on implants and prosthesis.
Scans, healing, and travel
Planning uses a 3D CT scan, digital X-rays, and face and intraoral scans. A physical mouth impression and pre-surgical blood test are also listed as pre-operative requirements.
The treatment generally involves 2–4 visits. The first stay is 2–3 days, followed by a visit for the permanent teeth after healing. After surgery, patients are prescribed antibiotics and pain medicine, follow a soft-food diet, and return for follow-up.
The clinic has an in-house digital lab with CAD/CAM and 3D CT equipment. It is five minutes from the San Ysidro border and offers free transportation. Patients can leave a request on Bookimed to ask about the treatment plan and package details.
