Renee Baillie • Dec 24, 2022
Amazing service and was taken care of by Dr. Ana and the Bookimed team. I booked two services - dental crowns with Dr Ana and rhinoplasty with Dr Deborah at Gilenis. Easy process, and I am so so happy with the results. My new emax crowns and dental work are perfect, Dr Ana did a thorough job and guaranteed the work and did a follow up check with any revisions. Dr Deborah did my rhinoplasty. And I just sent her the biggest thank you note, as I was the most nervous on this procedure. I am at day 8, and my nose swelling is looking better and better everyday AND perfect!!!! I cannot wait to see the final final results, but I am so happy. It is still my nose and natural like I wanted, but so much better. My dorsal hump is gone, and my nostrils and tip are smaller and a little less round. And the profile - that is the biggest positive change immediately! I was on zoom today on day 8, and no one noticed but mentioned how good I looked (exactly what I wanted!). My dental work as well as my amazing nose job - natural and perfect. I plan to refer anyone who needs work done, and go back in a couple weeks for a lip lift as my nose is healing so well.

FAQ about Dental Implant in Mexico

What Is a Dental Implant?

dental implant is a small, sturdy titanium post that can be inserted into the jawbone to serve as the artificial root for a replacement tooth. This post supports dental prosthetics such as a crown, bridge, or denture, effectively replacing missing teeth. 

🦷 Dental implants are widely praised for their durability and for providing a look and feel very similar to natural teeth, enhancing both oral functionality and aesthetic appearance.On average, dental implants can last 25 years to a lifetime with proper care.

Over time, the implant fuses with the bone around it in an osseointegration process, providing stable support that mimics the natural root of a tooth. 

👉Did you know? Here's a fun fact about osseointegration: It was discovered accidentally by Swedish orthopedic surgeon Per-Ingvar Brånemark in the 1950s. While studying rabbit bones, he found that titanium fused so well with bone that it couldn't be removed. This serendipitous discovery led to developing dental implants and other medical prostheses.

What Types of Dental Implants There Are?

A dentist will choose the type of implant based on the patient's dental conditions and bone availability. Let's take a look at what kinds of dental implants exist on the market:

Endosteal Implants

These are the most commonly used dental implants placed directly into the jawbone. They are typically shaped like small screws, cylinders, or plates.

📍 Best suited for patients with a healthy and sufficient jawbone to support the implant.

Subperiosteal Implants

These implants sit on top of the jawbone but under the gum. They involve a metal frame fitted onto the jawbone under the gum tissue.

📍 Ideal for patients who do not have enough healthy natural jawbone and cannot undergo a bone augmentation procedure.

Zygomatic Implants

Placed in the cheekbone rather than the jawbone, these are the least common type of dental implant.

📍 Used when there is insufficient jawbone for endosteal implants and the patient seeks an alternative to extensive bone grafting.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Different Kinds of Dental Implants?

Here are two tables that compare the pros and cons of the three primary types of dental implants: Endosteal, Subperiosteal, and Zygomatic.

✔️ Pros of Dental Implants

Type of Implant Pros
Endosteal
  • Most widely used and studied type.

  • Feels and functions like natural teeth.

  • Preserves jawbone and facial structure.

Subperiosteal

  • Does not require insertion into the jawbone.

  •  Suitable for patients with insufficient jawbone who cannot undergo bone augmentation.

  •  Faster recovery compared to implants that require bone grafting.

Zygomatic
  • An option for those with severe jawbone loss who cannot use traditional implants.

  • Provides a solid base in the cheekbone, avoiding complex bone grafts

  • Suitable for immediate loading, reducing overall treatment time.

❌ Cons of Dental Implants

Type of Implant Cons
Endosteal
  • Requires a good amount of healthy jawbone.

  • Longer healing time as it involves bone integration.

  • It is unsuitable for all patients due to bone quantity and quality requirements.

Subperiosteal

  • Less commonly used; fewer studies and long-term data available.

  •  Higher risk of implant exposure and gum issues since it sits on top of the jawbone.

  • May have lower success rates compared to endosteal implants.

Zygomatic
  • More complex surgery results in a higher risk of complications such as sinusitis.

  • Limited to the upper jaw.

  • Requires specialized surgical expertise and is less commonly performed.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer numerous advantages, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Here are some of the main benefits:

🦷Natural Look and Feel

Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The crowns are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend.

🕒Durability and Longevity

Implants are made from solid and durable materials like titanium, which integrates with the jawbone to form a stable foundation. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

🗣️Improved Oral Function

Dental implants restore full chewing power, allowing eating favorite foods without difficulty. Unlike dentures, implants stay securely in place, preventing issues with shifting while eating or speaking.

🦴Bone Preservation

Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are missing. This helps maintain facial structure and prevents a sunken appearance.

⚕️Enhanced Oral Health

Implants do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth, as dental bridges do. This helps preserve the integrity of natural teeth. Additionally, implants are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

🛋️Comfort and Convenience

Once placed, dental implants become a permanent part of a mouth, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures. There is no need for adhesives or unique cleaning routines.

📈Confidence Boost

With their natural look and secure fit, dental implants can significantly boost confidence. They provide a stable and attractive solution that allows you to smile, speak, and eat with confidence.

Who Is a Candidate For Dental Implants?

Here are the primary indications for considering dental implants:

📌Missing Teeth

Dental implants are an excellent option for individuals with single or multiple missing teeth. They replace individual teeth without affecting neighboring teeth. For those missing several teeth in a row, implants can support bridges, providing a fixed alternative to removable partial dentures.

 For patients who have lost all their teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both), dental implants can support complete dentures or All-on-4 implant-supported prostheses.

📌Poor Fit of Dentures

Patients experiencing discomfort with traditional dentures benefit from implant-supported dentures. These implants eliminate the need for adhesives, providing a more secure and comfortable fit.

📌Bone Preservation Need

After tooth loss, the jawbone tends to resorb or deteriorate, leading to changes in facial structure and appearance. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, maintaining its density and volume, which helps preserve the facial structure.

📌Poor Oral Function

Dental implants restore the ability to chew and speak effectively, which can be compromised with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.

📌Lack of Support for Dental Prosthetics

Dental implants can also act as anchors for dental bridges or overdentures, enhancing the fit and function of these prosthetics. 

What Dental Work Is Optimal?

Feature Dental Implants Dental Bridges Dentures
Purpose Replace missing teeth with a permanent, fixed solution Replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to adjacent teeth Replace multiple or all missing teeth in an arch
Procedure Surgical placement of titanium posts into the jawbone, followed by attachment of a crown Teeth adjacent to the gap are reshaped, and crowns are placed to support the bridge. Custom-made removable prosthetics that fit over the gums
Durability Long-lasting, often a lifetime with proper care Typically lasts 10-15 years Typically lasts 5-10 years
Cost Higher initial cost ($900 - $1,600 per implant in Mexico) Moderate cost ($500 - $1,200 per tooth in Mexico) Lower cost ($300 - $800 for partial dentures in Mexico)
Aesthetics Natural look and feel Good, but it may not be as natural-looking as implants It can look natural but may not feel as secure as implants
Stability Very stable, fixed solution Fixed but relies on adjacent teeth Less stable, removable
Bone Preservation Prevents bone loss by stimulating the jawbone Does not prevent bone loss Does not prevent bone loss

Who Should Not Get Dental Implants?

While dental implants are a great solution for many, certain conditions and factors can make someone unsuitable for this procedure. 

🦴Insufficient Bone Density

Patients with significant bone loss in the jaw may not have enough bone to support an implant without undergoing bone grafting procedures.

🩺Poor Oral Health

Active periodontal disease can affect the success of the implant and lead to complications. Extensive decay can compromise the stability of the implant.

💊Chronic Health Conditions

  • Poorly controlled diabetes can impair healing and increase the risk of infection. 

  • Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can interfere with the healing process and implant integration. 

  • Disorders that affect blood clotting, such as hemophilia, can complicate surgery and healing.

🚭Lifestyle Factors

  • Smoking can impede healing and increase the risk of implant failure due to poor blood circulation in the gums.

  • Substance abuse can negatively affect overall health and the ability to heal properly after surgery.

🪥Inadequate Oral Hygiene

Patients who do not maintain good oral hygiene may be at higher risk for infections and implant failure.

💉Certain Medications

Medications used to treat osteoporosis and some cancers can affect bone healing and increase the risk of complications. Drugs that suppress the immune system can increase the risk of Infection and impede healing.

😥Psychological Conditions

Patients with extreme dental anxiety or phobia may struggle with the implant procedure and aftercare requirements.

What Is the Aftercare Process Like After Dental Implant Surgery?

In the aftermath of getting dental implants, it's crucial to take proper care.

💤Immediate Aftercare (First Few Days)

After dental implant surgery patients should rest and avoid strenuous activities to prevent complications. Applying ice packs to the outside of the face can help reduce swelling, and prescribed painkillers and antibiotics should be taken as directed to manage pain and prevent Infection. 

🪥Oral Hygiene

Brushing should be done twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid irritating the implant site. Flossing should be performed gently around the implant and other teeth to prevent plaque buildup. An antimicrobial mouthwash, as recommended by the dentist, can further help reduce the risk of Infection.

🥣Diet

For the initial days, it is advisable to stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies, which do not put stress on the implant site. Hard, crunchy, or sticky foods should be avoided as they can irritate or dislodge the implant. Additionally, staying well-hydrated is important, but patients should avoid using straws to prevent dislodging blood clots.

🏥Regular Check-Ups

The first check-up is usually scheduled within a week of the surgery to check for any immediate issues.

By adhering to these aftercare guidelines, patients can promote successful healing and ensure the longevity of their dental implants.

Is It Safe to Get Dental Work in Mexico?

Yes, getting dental implants in Mexico is considered safe and effective for replacing missing teeth. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are some risks and potential complications to be aware of.

Here are some facts about the safety of dental implants in Mexico:

  • High Success Rate. Dental implants in Mexico have a success rate of around 95-98% for individual implants and approximately 90-95% for full mouth restorations when performed.

  • Quality Materials. Dental implants in Mexico are made from high-quality materials such as titanium or zirconia. These biocompatible materials are well-tolerated by the human body, ensuring long-term success and stability.

  • Osseointegration. The success of dental implants relies on osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone over several months. 

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery. Compared to other tooth replacement options, dental implant surgery is minimally invasive and usually requires only local anesthesia.

  • Professionalism. Reputable clinics in Mexico have affiliations with international dental organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).

❗Choosing a qualified and reputable dental professional is crucial for ensuring the safety and success of your dental implants. For more information on experienced doctors and clinics in Mexico, you can visit platforms like Bookimed, which provide detailed profiles and patient reviews.

Is It Painful to Get Dental Implants in Mexico?

The process of getting dental implants, whether in Mexico or elsewhere, typically involves some level of discomfort, but advances in dental techniques and anesthesia have significantly minimized pain. Here is what to expect:

💉During the Procedure

Dentists use local anesthesia to numb the implant site, ensuring that patients do not feel pain during the procedure. Some clinics also offer sedation options for patients who are particularly anxious or undergoing multiple implants.

💊Post-Procedure Discomfort

It is normal to experience some discomfort or mild pain after the anesthesia wears off. This pain is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. 

Some swelling and bruising around the implant site are common and usually subside within a few days. Applying ice packs to the affected area can help reduce swelling.

❗Most patients report that any discomfort peaks within the first 48 hours and then gradually decreases. By following the dentist's post-operative care instructions, patients can minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.

What Are the Risks of Getting Dental Implants?

While dental implants are generally safe and successful, there are some risks and potential complications to be aware of. The success rates of dental implants can vary based on an individual's overall health and habits. However, for those with good health and proper oral hygiene practices, implants have a success rate of 90%-98%.

! Infection

Infection at the implant site can occur if bacteria enter the area during or after surgery. Proper oral hygiene and following the dentist's post-operative care instructions help minimize this risk.

!Implant Failure

Implant failure can occur if the implant does not properly integrate with the jawbone. Factors contributing to this include insufficient bone density, poor surgical technique, or excessive pressure on the implant during the healing period. Smoking and certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, also increase the risk.

!Nerve Damage

Nerve damage can lead to pain, numbness, or tingling in the lips, gums, or chin. This is usually temporary but can sometimes be permanent.

!Sinus Issues

For implants placed in the upper jaw, there is a risk of sinus problems if the implant protrudes into the sinus cavity. This can cause sinus infections or chronic sinusitis. Sinus lift procedures can be performed to mitigate this risk by adding bone to the upper jaw to support the implant.

!Bone Loss

If the implant fails to integrate correctly with the jawbone, it can lead to bone loss around the implant site. This can compromise the stability of the implant and lead to further dental issues.

!Peri-Implantitis

Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition similar to periodontitis but affects the tissues around the implant. It can lead to bone loss and implant failure if not treated promptly.

!Allergic Reactions

Some patients may have allergic reactions to the materials used in dental implants, such as titanium or other metals. This is rare, but it can cause inflammation and discomfort. Alternative materials, such as zirconia implants, may be used for patients with metal allergies.

Is It Noticeable That One Has a Dental Implant?

🦷Dental implants are designed to be indistinguishable from natural teeth, thanks to advanced materials and techniques. Here are some factors that contribute to their natural look:

  • Customized Crowns. The crowns placed on dental implants are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Brands like Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Zimmer Biomet offer highly aesthetic crown solutions that blend seamlessly with existing teeth.

  • Advanced Materials. Modern dental implants use high-quality materials such as zirconia and porcelain. Zirconia crowns are known for their durability and natural translucency, closely mimicking natural tooth enamel. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are another option that provides strength with a natural appearance.

  • Precise Placement. Skilled dentists use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to place implants precisely. For instance, the NobelGuide system by Nobel Biocare uses 3D imaging for exact placement, ensuring the crown aligns perfectly with the surrounding teeth and gums.

Can Dental Implants In Mexico Be Done in One Day?

Yes, dental implants can be done in one day through a procedure known as "immediate load" or "same-day implants". This process allows for the placement of the implant and the attachment of a temporary tooth or teeth during the same appointment. If the patient has appropriate health conditions, the oral specialist may place the implant into the jawbone and immediately attach a temporary crown or dental bridge to the implant post. This allows patients to leave the office with a functional and aesthetic tooth in place on the same day.

🕒The primary advantages are convenience and immediate aesthetic improvement. It reduces the number of visits and provides a quick solution to missing teeth. While immediate affordable dental implants offer instant results, they require careful handling and strict adherence to post-operative care to ensure successful integration with the bone.

What is the Success Rate of Same-Day Dental Implants?

Same-day dental implants are highly successful, with a success rate similar to traditional implants. A study demonstrated that 97% of 116 implants placed immediately were successful. This high success rate in implant dentistry is achievable when the procedure is performed by an experienced dental implant specialists and the patient adheres to all post-operative care instructions.

Are Dental Implants a Major Surgery?

Dental implant surgery is generally considered a minor dental procedure since it does not involve extensive invasive procedures. It is a common oral surgery for restoring lost teeth, similar to tooth extraction. In some cases, dental implants require additional procedures, such as bone grafting or a sinus lift, to provide more bone for implant support.

Here are a few reasons why dental implant surgery is generally not classified as major surgery:

1.🏠The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis.

2. 💉Most dental implant surgeries only require local anesthesia to numb the area around the implant site.

3. ▫The implant is placed through a small incision in the gum tissue.

4.🩸The procedure results in very little blood loss.

6. ✔️Most people can return to regular routines within a few days.

In some cases, such as when extensive bone grafting is required, or multiple implants are being placed, the procedure may be more complex and invasive. However, it is still generally not classified as major surgery.

What Are the Psychological Benefits of Dental Implants?

✔️Increased Self-Esteem

Dental implants enhance self-esteem by providing a complete, natural-looking set of teeth, allowing individuals to smile, speak, and eat confidently.

✔️Improved Quality of Life

Implants improve the quality of life by allowing comfortable eating and eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.

✔️Enhanced Social Interactions

A natural-looking smile restored by dental implants encourages more active social interactions without fear of embarrassment, leading to more fulfilling relationships.

 ✔️Reduced Anxiety and Stress

Dental implants alleviate the ongoing anxiety and stress related to missing teeth or unstable dentures, leading to a more relaxed state of mind.

✔️ Greater Psychological Well-Being

The confidence gained from stable, attractive teeth enhances overall psychological well-being, contributing to better mental and physical health.

✔️Long-Term Satisfaction

Patients with dental implants report high levels of long-term satisfaction, providing sustained confidence and peace of mind.

How Do Dental Implants Impact Speech?

Dental implants can positively impact speech by providing stability, maintaining natural oral functions, and boosting confidence.

✅Improved Clarity and Stability

Dental implants can significantly improve speech clarity and stability. Unlike dentures, which can slip or move, implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for artificial teeth. This stability allows for more precise pronunciation.

✅Natural Feel and Function

Implants function much like natural teeth, which helps maintain the natural movements of your tongue and lips during speech. This natural feel can lead to more accurate and comfortable speech, reducing any lisp or slurring that might occur with poorly fitting dentures or missing teeth.

✅Avoidance of Common Denture Problems

Traditional dentures can sometimes cause speech problems due to their bulkiness or tendency to move. Implants eliminate these issues by providing a fixed solution that does not require adjustments while talking. This allows for more fluent and natural speech patterns.

❗While dental implants can improve speech, there might be a short adaptation period as you get used to the new dental implants. This period is usually brief, and minor speech changes typically resolve as you become accustomed to the implants.

How Do Implants Interact with Existing Dental Work?

Compatibility with Crowns and Bridges

When replacing missing teeth adjacent to crowns or bridges, the dentist will ensure the new implant integrates well with the existing dental work. Sometimes, adjustments are necessary for a seamless fit and appearance. Implants can also be used to support a bridge, enhancing its stability and longevity, especially if natural teeth are insufficient for support.

🦷Interaction with Dentures

Implants significantly improve the stability and functionality of dentures. Implant-supported dentures, or overdentures, snap onto implants rather than resting on the gums, preventing slippage and providing a more secure fit. Transitioning from traditional dentures to implant-supported dentures can significantly enhance comfort and chewing efficiency, with the new dentures customized to work with the implants.

🦷Impact on Orthodontic Work

For those with existing orthodontic appliances, the placement of dental implants may need to be timed to avoid interference with ongoing orthodontic treatment. Coordination between your orthodontist and implant dentist is crucial. After completing orthodontic treatment, implants can replace missing teeth, ensuring proper alignment with the rest of your smile.
