The dental tourism industry in Costa Rica is a long established one. It has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals from developed countries say goodbye to their dental issues.

Hence, even if it’s a single dental implant that you need, Costa Rica is the ideal destination. Before we come to that, let’s see how same day implants score over traditional dental implants.

Same Day Implants vs. Traditional Implants

The same day implant system traces its history back to Dr. Per-Ingvar Brånemark’s pioneering work on dental implants.

The process of placing same day dental implants is as follows:

• First, the dentist inserts a titanium post into the jawbone. He places a temporary tooth/crown above the post next. This process takes about 15-20 minutes.
• The post fuses with the bone quickly. In about five days, the dentist places the permanent tooth crown.
• If need be, the dentist can set the dental implant at an angle. This does away with the need for bone grafting.

Traditional implants are time-consuming and inconvenient. Furthermore:

• The traditional implant surgery exposes the jawbone. It involves inserting a 4mm long titanium post. There is a waiting time of two-six months. This is until the bone grows around the post.
• Operating involves exposing the tip of the post. A crown is then attached to the post. If a bone graft is needed, another surgery is then done to insert the titanium post.
• This adds another 4-8 months of waiting time. That’s because the incision needs to heal properly.
• The dentist can only insert traditional implants vertically.

Immediate Load Dental Implant FAQs

1. What are same day or immediate load dental implants?

A dental implant is a false tooth root. Its shape is the same as that of a screw. When the dentist places this implant into your jaw, it cements with your bone.

A dental crown is then placed on top of the implant. When the dentist carries out this entire process within a day, it is the same day dental implant procedure.
