Dental implants are a popular solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone and a crown that mimics the appearance of a natural tooth. Here’s what you need to know:
Procedure Overview: The dental implant process involves several steps, including an initial consultation, the surgical placement of the implant, a healing period, and the placement of the final crown. The entire process can take several months.
Suitability: Not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. Factors such as overall health, jawbone density, and gum condition are critical. A thorough evaluation by your dentist is necessary to determine if implants are suitable for you.
Benefits: Implants offer numerous benefits, including improved appearance, speech, and comfort. They function like natural teeth, providing better chewing ability and contributing to oral health by preventing bone loss.
Maintenance: Dental implants require regular care, similar to natural teeth. This includes brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups to ensure their longevity and health.
Risks and Complications: As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection, nerve damage, or implant failure. However, these risks are relatively low when performed by experienced professionals.
Eligibility: Patients must undergo a comprehensive dental examination to determine eligibility. This may include X-rays and CT scans. Pre-existing medical conditions and habits, such as smoking, can affect candidacy.
Treatment Plan: A detailed treatment plan will be provided, outlining the steps, timeline, and costs involved. Patients must review and understand the plan before proceeding.
Costs and Payment: The cost of dental implants varies based on the complexity of the case and the materials used. Patients will receive a detailed estimate and must agree to the payment terms, which may include options.
Consent: Patients must sign a consent form acknowledging that they understand the procedure, associated risks, and aftercare requirements. This consent is essential before any surgical steps are taken.
Post-Procedure Care: Adhering to post-operative care instructions is crucial for the success of the implants. This includes taking prescribed medications, attending follow-up appointments, and maintaining oral hygiene.
Warranty and Follow-Up: Dental implants may come with a warranty covering certain issues. Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor the implants and address any concerns promptly.
Understanding these aspects and terms ensures that patients are well-prepared and informed about their dental implant procedure, leading to better outcomes and satisfaction.
Types of Dental Implants
There are three common types of dental implants that you can choose from Titanium, Endosteal, subperiosteal, and zygomatic.
Endosteal ” titanium” is the safest and most common, followed by subperiosteal, and then zygomatic being the last and most complex. It is rarely used.
Endosteal Implants
Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implant. They are suited for most patients but, they require a good, healthy jawbone for the post to fuse to.They are placeholder posts that are shaped like screws. They put into the jaw that the false teeth are fitted onto.
Once the procedure is done it takes a little time to heal. It requires the time to fuse together and create a stronghold. Once it’s healed the false teeth can be placed onto the post to fit in with the surrounding teeth.
Surgery: The implant surgery involves the precise placement of the implants. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the implants act as anchors for the prosthetic teeth.
• In Costa Rica, gas anesthesia is not used; instead, a certified anesthesiologist administers real conscious anesthesia with all the essential equipment. It’s important to emphasize that eligibility for this type of sedation requires successful completion of all medical examinations and being deemed fit for the procedure. This precaution is necessary due to the prolonged nature of the operation, requiring an extended period with the mouth open. Even though the surgery is minor, it is still surgery, and constant IV monitoring will be in place. Additionally, for female patients, there is always a female assistant present for your comfort.
Recovery Period: There is a healing period after surgery during which the implants integrate with the jawbone. Temporary prosthetic teeth may be provided during this phase.
• FYI: The nature of dentures and the limited time frame, typically ten to ten days during which I am available for adjustments, means achieving a perfect fit can be challenging. The short period may not allow for an absolutely flawless adjustment. However, we are here to work with you to address any concerns and make the necessary adjustments to enhance the comfort and functionality of your dentures.
• We want to emphasize the significant role of bone density in determining whether temporary or permanent dentures can be screwed in place. While immediate loading is preferred, it may not always be feasible immediately after implant installation.
In such cases, temporary dentures, while not ideal, are employed. Adjustments may be necessary later when you are fully healed to enhance comfort.
The decision for immediate load depends on the torque of the bone at the time of surgery.
If the bone density is insufficient, immediate loading poses risks, and we may need to wait for proper healing.
We want to set realistic expectations; our goal is immediate loading, but it is contingent on favorable bone conditions during surgery.
If accommodations provided for treatement time All-on-4 or 6 implants or single implants which vary in time , whether for the upper, lower jaw, or both, Is are extended as a courtesy by the doctor in appreciation of selecting their services. The Fortuna facility includes accommodations for the duration of treatment. If the San José clinic locations are chosen, two days per trip are credited for all-in-four treatments, and for single implants , one day are credited for each trip. Please ask about all information and restrictions.
It’s noteworthy that the well-equipped lodgings take the form of rustic cabins, aligning with an eco-friendly philosophy. The doctor actively supports environmental sustainability by employing solar power to heat water for showers. While the cabins don’t offer full-service front desk staff amenities, they do feature air conditioning for comfort.
Additionally, a convenient Uber service is available at a reasonable rate, covering transportation to and from dental treatments at no extra cost.
All other rides with the driver are billed separately. Emphasizing transparency, it’s highlighted that these accommodations are intended to be accommodating.
Patients are encouraged to inquire about specific needs or requests, as the primary goal is to facilitate a cost-effective and comfortable experience for those opting for treatment in Costa Rica.
Thank you for selecting our services.
Subperiosteal Implants
Another type of dental implant is Subperiosteal Implants. This is the main alternative to Endosteal Implants.
Instead of being fixed into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants rests on top of the bone but still under the gum.
A metal frame is placed under the gum with a post attached to it. The gum then heals around the frame to hold it in place. The false teeth are secured to the poles that come from the gum.
This procedure is only used if the patient doesn’t have enough jawbone for an implant to be placed or if the person in question just doesn’t want to go through with intensive oral surgery to add bone to the area.
If this applies to you, maybe this next implant will suit you better.
Final Prosthetic Placement: Once the implants have fully integrated, the final set of prosthetic teeth is securely attached to the implants. This provides a functional and aesthetic full-arch restoration.
FYI: “Be mindful of the variety of prostheses available for implant attachment, including permanent and snap-in options.
• While the default choice is permanent, an alternative exists.
o Permanent functional and aesthetic full-arch restoration.
o It is crucial to inquire about the specific type you are receiving to ensure clarity regarding its permanency.
o Snap-in prostheses are chosen when patients are not immediately prepared for a permanent transition or when financial considerations favor starting with a snap-in option, allowing for a potential upgrade to a permanent one in the future.
o Communicate your intention to transition later to your dentist, ensuring the placement of implants with the capability for future upgrades.”
Disclosures and Considerations:
Surgical Risks: As with any surgery, there are inherent risks, including infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding structures. Your dental professional will discuss these risks during the consultation.
Healing Time: The integration of implants with the jawbone takes time, and individual healing rates may vary, as you progress through the healing phase following implant surgery, it is generally expected to be fully healed by the 5th, or 6th month. If there is a desire to check healing progress before the typical timeframe, obtaining a 3D scan in your home country is recommended if you want to come earlier. This precaution ensures that healing is sufficient. If the initial check shows incomplete healing, it is highly advisable to schedule another 3D scan later in the 5 or 6th month to confirm proper healing before proceeding with further steps.” Not a requirement most heal just fine its only done in precaution so its not wasted trip if you come to early
Disclosure: Implant rejection by the human body is a complex phenomenon that can be influenced by various factors. Common causes of implant rejection include: Infection, Poor Osseointegration, Improper Placement, Chronic Inflammation
Advances in medical technology and materials have significantly reduced the likelihood of rejection, and careful consideration of these factors is taken into account during the planning and placement of implants.
While it’s uncommon, the human body can reject an implant. Rest assured that you are covered; if, against the odds, it fails, another implant will be placed under warranty at no cost to you.
Patience is key during the recovery phase.
Maintenance and Oral Care: Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene are crucial to maintain the longevity of the All-on-4 implant restoration.
It’s essential to have open communication with us, ask questions, and fully understand the process with All-on-4 or 6 implant treatment “keep in mind 6 if possible not everyone can ” additional fee if six are placed
Dentures discloser what to expect.
The nature of dentures and the limited time frame, typically ten to fifteen days during which I am available for adjustments, means achieving a perfect fit can be challenging. The short period may not allow for an absolutely flawless adjustment. However, I’m here to work with you to address any concerns and make the necessary adjustments to enhance the comfort and functionality of your dentures.
Bone Healing and Resorption: After implant surgery, the surrounding bone undergoes a healing process that may result in changes to its shape and density. Additionally, some bone resorption might occur over time. These natural processes can affect the initial fit of dentures, as the oral anatomy may no longer align perfectly with the prosthetic.
Soft Tissue Changes: The gums and surrounding soft tissues can also undergo alterations during the post-implant healing period. This can lead to variations in the contours of the oral cavity, impacting the fit of dentures.
Implant Integration Time: The time required for implants to fully integrate with the jawbone varies among individuals. If the integration process is not yet complete at the time of denture placement, it can contribute to fit issues as the underlying support structure may not be fully stabilized.
Guidelines for Post-Dental Crown Care:
To ensure the stability and longevity of your dental crown, it is crucial to refrain from chewing gum and consuming foods that are excessively chewy, hard, or sticky. Additionally, it is advised to favor chewing on the opposite side of the mouth from where the crown is placed as much as possible. These precautions help prevent dislocation and promote the successful integration of dental restoration.
I acknowledge and accept the conditions and explanations outlined. I understand that the physician will make decisions in my best interest, prioritizing my safety and the long-term goal of restoring my smile. I willingly accept these conditions without holding any liability, recognizing that all necessary measures have been taken to minimize complications or unforeseen issues that may arise.
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are the least common type of dental implant available to you. It is the most complicated procedure and should only be done if you don’t have enough jawbone for the Endosteal implant.
The implant is placed in the patient’s cheekbone rather than the jawbone.
Now that you about the three types of implants, now you might want to know about implant techniques.
Sometimes an implant can be placed with a bone graft at the same time allowing new bone to be regenerated simultaneously, provided there is enough of your own natural bone to at least stabilize the implant when it is placed
Getting a dental implants is relatively painless and extremely effective.
