Why choose Dental Implants in Costa Rica?

You might choose dental implants in Costa Rica because this modern and long-lasting dental procedure is not available in your area. Many people visit Costa Rica for a dental vacation because they do not have access to a high-quality dental service in their hometown, and surgical options like dental implants are unavailable to them. Dental implants protect healthy bone and allow you to retain the natural shape of your face with minimal recovery time and without damaging your natural teeth like a bridge or a crown.

Many people choose dental implants in Costa Rica because they want or need to save money. In most cases, dental care in this country is less expensive than in the United States and in Canada, even when you factor in the prices charged for airline tickets, lodging and food while you are visiting the country. Dental services like dental implants in Costa Rica are often 40 to 70 percent lower than the same services in places like Europe, Canada and the United States. Saving money while enjoying a spectacular Costa Rica dental vacation is definitely a reason to choose dental implants in Costa Rica.

FAQ About Dental Implants in Costa Rica

1. What is a dental implant and how long do they last?
A dental implant is simply a custom-made replacement for a natural tooth. Most of today’s implants are made from titanium and are connected directly to the bone of the jaw for a stable and natural-looking effect. Most dental implants last for approximately 10 years.

2. What are the health benefits to dental implants?
Dental implants help to keep the bones of the jaw healthy. When teeth are missing, the bones that surrounded the teeth begin to shrink. Dental implants stop this degenerative process and help to complete a perfect smile.

3. How do I know if I’m a candidate for dental implants in Costa Rica.
Dr. Mario or your local dentist can perform a full-mouth examination to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. Once you have the go-ahead from your local dentist (or Dr. Mario) you can proceed with the Costa Rica dental vacation services.

4. Can dental implants be accomplished in a single visit?
Yes, Dr. Mario is able to accomplish certain types of dental implants in a single day or in a single visit. This means you will not have to spend weeks in Costa Rica, unless you want to take that vacation and enjoy it.

5. How do I care for my new dental implants?
Dental implants look and perform just like your original healthy teeth. Your brushing and flossing routine will probably not change once you have your new dental implants. It is extremely important to follow all post-operative instructions and to brush and floss regularly once your implants are finished.

When there are gaps in your smile and missing teeth are causing you to avoid social situations, dental implants are a wonderful tool to repair that smile. Dr. Mario has both the skill and the technology to replace your missing teeth, but you cannot waste time if dental implants are important to you. The spaces where teeth are missing in your jaw cause bone loss. The longer those spaces are open, the more bone is lost, and the more complicated the dental implant procedure becomes. Scheduling your Costa Rica dental vacation quickly means less time spent recovering from your dental services.

The bottom-line for most of you consumers of course is price. I get that. But when a price seems to good you might ask, ‘What am I getting for my money?” That is the smartest question you could ask.

You might find an even cheaper implant in some clinic on the border with Mexico. Good luck with that! And even then what you might be getting is a implant ‘knockoff’ manufactured locally that contains who knows what kind of materials.

No, what you need is a implant that is second-to-none. A dental implant that is solid titanium, manufactured in a state-of-the-art ‘clean’ facility to precise standards incorporating the latest and most advanced dental design to stand the test of time and a 100% guarantee.
