Dental implants are replacements for the roots of teeth. They are secured to the jaw bone. They must be strong and are made of titanium or an alloy.
You can get dental implants in most family dentistry offices. You do not need to go to a specialist.
As with normal teeth, you need to maintain your implants with flossing and brushing.
Dental implants can get very expensive. Prices range from $1,000 to $3,000. There is also the crown cost on top of the implant. That can cost around $750. This is a very expensive proposition.
Many people go abroad for these types of procedures. Dental Tourism is becoming a large industry. If you live in Southern California or Texas, you can cross the border for care. Others throughout the US have it a little more difficult. Costa Rica is an affordable option for people in the continental US.
There is a cost savings of between 50% – 80% per procedure in Mexico and Costa Rica.
Many Europeans go to Hungary for their treatment. This is becoming more acceptable.
