Dental Vacations for Implants In Cancun, Mexico

More and more Americans and Canadians have been crossing their borders to come visit a beautiful caribbean paradise for their dental implants. The average cost of dental implants in the United States is $3,000 dollars for a single implant. And about the same in Canada. The high costs of dental care is leaving many people with unattended dental illnesses, that in time create even worse problems. 

Cancun Mexico has been know for years as the #1 vacation spot in the caribbean, and now it is being know as a leading location in the dental tourism industry. People from all over the world are making the trip to Cancun to have their dental work taken care of by skilled and respected dentists at a fraction of the cost.

People needing dental implants have been choosing Cancun dentists such as Dr. Irma Gavaldon from Ocean Dental as their solution. Not only is she a U.S licensed dentist, but she is a graduate from the University of Michigan with her masters degree in restorative dentistry. This University has one of the best dental programs in the United States and shows a lot about about her skill and dedication. Which is exactly what patients traveling abroad need and deserve.

The implant process is usually a two phase process. The first phase consists of a detailed examination of the patient in order for the maxilliofacial surgeon to take into account the bone density of the patient, the sinus pockets, nerves and other factors that need to be considered for successful implants.

Once the treatment plan is set, the patient will then go through the actual implant process.
The implant will be placed along with any necessary bone grafting material and membrane placement.
Post surjury the patient will need go through the osseo integration period which can last anywhere from 3-6 months.
This period is crucial for a successful implant because this is the period of time where the bone actually integrates with the implant, taking a firm hold on it.

The second period of the implant process would be the restorative phase.
In this next trip to the dentist the implant will be restored and the abutment will be placed along with the crown or bridge, Leaving you with a great new smile.

In some cases, people may be candidates for immediate load implants. This is when the implant, abutment and crown are all placed on the same trip, although not everyone is a candidate for this procedure.

The cost dental implants at Ocean Dental Cancun $900 USD. A big difference in what people would otherwise pay if they chose to do their work at home in the U.S or Canada.
Having a great dentist at affordable prices is what everyone deserves, and in Cancun Mexico this is made possible!
