Dental Implants Happy Patient Review!!

Last month we had a very special visit from a wonderful couple from Canada, Tim and Deborah! They wanted to improve their smile but the price back home in Calgary was simply too expensive! They were charging them $6000 only for the dental implant with no crown or abutment! That was truly outrageous! We could hardly believe it either. They obviously started to look for an alternative for their problem and after finding out about our dental service on the Internet, they took the first step to come down to Cancun for a memorable dental vacation.

Dental Implants vs Regular Fixed Bridges

It has come to our attention that many of our patients were not told by their dentists they could use dental implants to fix their smile and instead recommended fixed bridges. Usually our patients had to go online looking for alternatives on the web or were referred to us by previous patients about our dental services. This is how most people learned about dental implants.

ANOTHER Dental Implants Patient Review! CHECK IT!

This time around we want to say we felt honored to have our dear patient Todd from Florida over at our dental clinic. Todd loves Mexico and especially its food. He was facing the prospect of having a regular dental bridge done back in USA bit he soon find out the price tag was simply too much. There must be other options, he thought. And he was right! He found about our clinic’s services in the web and after doing extensive research he decided to get dental implants instead. He got in contact with us and booked his flight for his dental vacation.

How are Dental Implants made?

About 100 years ago it was discovered that the ancient Mayans used seashells to replace missing teeth. Interestingly enough, seashells are biocompatible with the human body because their high content of calcium and other minerals, although we can safely assume that the Mayan procedure probably hurt a lot because there is indication that they were -hammered- into the jaw. OUCH! Those seashells were likely the first dental implants but we are lucky to have better technology.

Activities in Cancun and Riviera Maya: Festival of Life and Death Traditions

If you are planning on coming to Cancun for your dental implant appointment at the end of October or early November you might like to know about this amazing event you can attend. You must have heard before about the Mexican tradition of “Día de Muertos” (“Day of the Dead“). This centuries old festivity took influence from both Native and Catholic culture after the Spanish Conquest of what is now Mexico. Death had always been a prominent motif on prehispanic cultures (Aztecs mainly) with the use of skulls, flowers and altars to honor the dead. Even then, there is slight variations on every part of the country, specially on the Yucatan Península.

What do you know about mini implants?

Let go over the basics about mini implants. The main difference between mini implants and regular implants are the size. Mini implants are a few millimeters wide, and thanks to their small size they can be inserted into areas where regular implants are not an option. They are made of the same Grade 5 titanium alloy than regular sized implants. Grade 5 titanium is excellent for use on dental treatments for its bio-compatibility with both human bone and tissue.
