Why is Dental Work Affordable in Los Algodones?
Dental work is affordable in Mexico because of the following reasons:
- Labor costs, rent and other overheads are lower in Mexico than in the US
- Dentists in Mexico pay no malpractice insurance
- They do not have to repay debt as their American counterparts
Its proximity to the US makes it possible for the Americans and Canadians to cross over easily. This also makes it simpler for the dental clinic to source material from the United States rather than from a faraway place like Mexico City. This further helps provide low cost yet quality dental care to patients from other parts of North America.

What is All-on-8 Dental Implants Technique?
As the name suggests, this system uses 8 dental implants per arch which are topped with fixed dental bridges and 12-14 high noble metal crowns. Traditional implants involved bone grafting with up to six months of healing period. With the All-on-8 procedure, bone grafts are not needed and the recovery period is better than traditional implants.
Benefits of Hybrid Implants
- Boosts self-esteem
- Affordable and comfortable
- Allows you to live denture free without compromising on masticatory functions
- Is the closest to achieving natural chewing ability and function
Who is a Candidate?
In order to support this type of hybrid implant one should have enough jaw bone to support the implant system or else it can’t be placed in the mouth.
It is well-suited for people who have lost most of their teeth or are edentulous.
Dentures vs. Dental Implants
| Dentures | All on 8 Implants |
|---|---|
| A denture is held in place using a metal framework. | Full arch is restored using 8 dental implants. |
| Dentures need to be removed and cleaned. | Dental implants can’t be removed. |
| Adhesives may be required to fix them. | Adhesives are not required. |
| Can wobble or slip around in the mouth. | Fixed to the jawbone; hence, don’t wobble or slip. |
| These are replacement teeth without tooth root. | These are replacement teeth with teeth roots. |
| Do not stimulate jawbone growth. | Stimulate jawbone growth. |
All on 4 Implants
All on 4 hybrid dental implants use 4 implants per arch to replace missing teeth.
Titanium posts are inserted into the jawbone and secured with screws replicating the natural teeth roots. The implants osseointegrate with the jawbone, creating an anchor used to hold replacement teeth. These are topped by crowns, bridges, and even implant overdentures.
All on 6 Implants
All on 6 dental implants involve full arch restoration by placing 6 implants in the jaw. All-on-6 implants technique requires more bone and more bone strength than an All-on-4 procedure. See more here on All-on-6 implants in Los Algodones, Mexico.
Factors Affecting Success
Biocompatibility: Biocompatibility3 does not only involve compatibility of the material with the tissues but it also involves long term contact with the body tissues. In dental implants, the biomaterial and body tissues come in direct contact for the process of osseointegration and Titanium ensures osseointegration.
Osseointegration: It involves fusion of dental implants with the jawbone3. For a successful osseointegration jawbone cells must adhere to the surface of the biomaterial.
Bone quality and quantity: To determine the success of dental implants, the quality and quantity4 of bone available play a vital role. If an implant is placed in the poor-quality bone, chances of failure are higher.
Smoking: Smoking can adversely affect the survival of implants. A study conducted in the year 2014, reveals that 63.63% implants failed in smokers. 5
Diabetes Mellitus: High glucose levels have a negative impact on implant healing6. Implant therapy is best delayed until better control is achieved. Implant failure rate is higher in Type 2 DM than in non-diabetic. Diabetic patients experience delayed wound healing, which logically affects the osseointegration process. More failures occurred in patients who had diabetes for longer periods.
Dental Implant Care
According to the AAID, “brushing, flossing and maintaining regular dental cleanings and check-ups” are crucial for the longevity of the dental implants. Well cared implants have the potential to last a lifetime. Following are some home care routine basics:
- The tissue surrounding the implant should be kept clean by flossing and brushing.
- Use non-abrasive toothpaste while brushing.
- An excellent alternative to regular brushing is using an interdental brush. It cleans hard-to-reach areas of the implant surface.
- Flossing is another imperative part of plaque-free teeth. Your dentist may recommend using implant specific floss.
