Dental implants are an efficient and permanent replacement for natural teeth. But regular dental implants can take as much as 6 months to install. For most people this is a long, uncomfortable and expensive process. However, immediate load dental implants in Costa Rica can be much less costly than in the US, Canada or the UK. The dental surgeons in Costa Rica are very well qualified with facilities and equipment on par with any in the United States. It is because of these factors that dental tourism in Costa Rica is on the rise.
Statistics from the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) show that 69% of the middle-aged adults lose at least one permanent tooth to mishap, periodontal diseases, root canal failure or tooth decay. Furthermore, by the age of 74, 26% of adults lose all of their permanent teeth. Any number of adults and children from all ages can lose teeth from tooth decay or accidents.
Advantages of Immediate Load Dental Implants in Costa Rica
Immediate load implants are the same as regular dental implants, with the same installation process. The bad tooth is removed, a screw is drilled into the bone through the empty space, a metal implant is attached to the screw, and a temporary false tooth is fixed to the implant. At least 3 to 6 months later the temporary tooth is removed and the permanent tooth is firmly set into the space.
What makes immediate load different is that one tooth can be done in about an hour. Zirconium abutments are used instead of the longer process titanium abutment. The temporary tooth is ready to be replaced in about 2 months.
This procedure can only be done on people who have adequate bone to hold the screw and implant. The implant has to be large and the tooth has to resist at least 2.5 lbs of force. Some dental surgeons will not do immediate load because they feel the greater time of 3 to 6 months is needed. However, many successful immediate load implants procedures have been performed and are continuing to be performed by with very few problems.
Whether the longer implant or the immediate load is chosen, the dental surgeons in Costa Rica are ready with excellent tools and facilities.
