All About Dental Implants in Mexico

Dental implants are metallic screws that are inserted into your bone, replacing your natural tooth roots. The bone and the implants fuse with each other in a process called 'osseointegration.'[1]

Parts of Dental Implant

Dental Implants Structure

Unlike dentures, which rest on the bone, dental implants are fixed and stable. Just like dentures, dental implants allow the immediate function of teeth.

Tooth implants also minimize bone loss in the lower and upper jaw!

Source: FDA[2]

Does an Implant Feel Like a Natural Tooth?

The feel of the implant will be a little different since it doesn’t have the cushioning layer as natural teeth do. But many patients have reported they didn't even notice the presence of implants after some time.

Dental Implant vs. Natural Tooth

Dental Implant vs. Natural Tooth

A natural tooth has a crown (the part you see in your mouth) and a root (which lies inside the jawbone).

In a dental implant, the root is replaced by the implant.

This part is made of titanium which is a highly biocompatible material.[3]

A porcelain or zirconia crown replaces the exposed part.

The crown has the same shade as that of the adjacent teeth, which makes it hard to notice.[4] So, as far as aesthetics are concerned, the implant will look exactly like a natural tooth.

What Procedures Are Required Before the Implant Surgery?

Pre-surgery procedures increase the success rate of dental implants. These are:

Bone Graft Before Dental Implants

Bone Graft

Bone Graft Surgery

If you do not have sufficient bone to support the implants, bone graft surgery may be done.

It may take 4-6 months for the new bone to form and be ready for implants.

Tooth Extraction Before Dental Implants

Tooth Extraction

Tooth Extraction

You may need tooth extraction if you go for full mouth restoration procedures.

Extraction is done to remove damaged teeth and replace them with artificial teeth.

In addition, you may need procedures like scaling, RCT, and filling. They reduce the chance of infection after surgery.

Source: Colgate[5]

Will I Require Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is needed in patients with poor bone quality in the jaw. Bone grafting uses natural or artificial bone to fill up an area with bone loss.

It takes 4-6 months for the bone to form a structure strong enough to support the implant.

How Long Will the Implant Procedure Take?

The implant procedure is usually completed in 2-3 visits.

Dental Implant Surgery

Implant Surgery

Visit 1:

It may take 2-7 days for implant placement.

A temporary prosthesis (artificial teeth) will be placed which allows you to eat normally.

Permanent Teeth For Implants

Visit 2:

This visit is scheduled 3-6 months after the first visit.

It may take 3-4 days for porcelain teeth/denture placement.

Another visit may be required if you need bone graft surgery.

Does It Hurt To Get Dental Implants?

No. This is one of the biggest myths about dental work. Appropriate measures are taken so that the patient does not feel any pain.

Anesthesia is given to make the area numb so that you do not feel anything.

Question

Did you know?

Swelling and pain are common for 72 hours after surgery.

You will be given suitable medication to reduce the swelling and pain. If the pain or swelling persists, you should contact your dentist to rule out any complications.

Source: Colgate[8]

When can I go to work after implant surgery?

If you take proper care of your implants, you can join your work back the next day after surgery.

Question

Did you know?

Pain and discomfort will last for a few days and can be handled with the medication prescribed.[9]

However, your dentist may recommend you to stay back for a few days after the surgery to make sure any complications are attended to timely.

Can I Smoke Before and After the Dental Implant Oral Surgery?

No Smoking After Dental Implants

No Smoking

Smoking is one of the main reasons for implant failure.

Nicotine decreases the blood supply to the area where the nutrients and oxygen from the blood are required.

Even before getting implants, smoking can adversely affect your oral health.

Question

Did you know?

According to a research study, the implant failure rate in a smoker is increased in comparison with non-smokers.

Source: MDPI[10]

How Long Will Dental Implants Last?

With proper maintenance, dental implants can last a long time.

Question

Did you know?

In a 10-year follow-up, dental implants showed a survival rate of 96.4%.[11]

Some factors that determine implant survival and longevity are:

  • Diet
  • Cleaning practices
  • Habits like smoking
  • Patient’s overall health and bone quality

The first few weeks are the most important. This is the time during which the implant fuses with the bone.

How Is an Implant Better Than a Dental Bridge?

Dental Bridge

Dental Bridge

A bridge is a treatment option for missing teeth.

Here the two adjacent teeth are capped, and a pontic (artificial tooth) is attached in the middle.

This means that your prosthesis is supported on both sides by two natural teeth.

The disadvantage of this method is that the two natural teeth will need to be trimmed to fit the crowns.

Dental Implant

Dental Implant

In an implant procedure, however, only the space left behind by the lost tooth is used.

An implant is embedded in the bone, and a crown is placed over it.

This is done without involving the adjacent teeth at all.

Types of Dental Implant Options in Mexico

Single Dental Implant

Single Dental Implant

Single Tooth Replacement

If you are missing a single tooth, one implant will be inserted in the site and topped with a dental crown.

Implant Supported Bridge

Implant Supported Bridge

Several Teeth Replacement

When several teeth are missing, at least 2 implants will be inserted in your bone, on top of which a dental bridge is fitted.[13]

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full mouth reconstruction procedures replace all the missing or damaged teeth in your mouth. All on 4, all on 6, and all on 8 are popular full-mouth rehab procedures.
