The three parts of a single-tooth replacement
The implant supports the replacement from within the bone. The abutment connects that support to the crown, which is the visible tooth replacement. A plan involving several missing teeth needs its own explanation and quote.
Ask the clinic to identify each component in writing. Two prices are only useful to compare when you understand the scope of each treatment plan.
What our advertised price includes
Our dental implant service page lists treatment from $999 including the implant, abutment and zirconia crown. The evaluation with a digital periapical X-ray costs $35 separately and is not deducted from treatment. Additional procedures, if indicated, are quoted separately.
Ask which follow-up appointments your plan includes and what could require a separate charge. An advertised starting price cannot establish your individual needs without an examination.
Plan the stages before planning a trip
The American Dental Association describes placement, healing and restoration as parts of implant treatment. Healing around the implant can take months. A temporary restoration, when appropriate, is different from the final crown.
Tell us your arrival and return dates before committing to travel. Ask for a written plan explaining which visits can be scheduled and how follow-up will work after you return home. Completion during a single vacation cannot be guaranteed.
Bring information and questions to your evaluation
Bring existing dental records, dated images and a list of medications and medical conditions. Our clinic provides digital periapical imaging. When CBCT imaging is needed, we refer you to an imaging center; the clinic does not have a CBCT scanner.
You can ask about alternatives and the reasons behind a recommendation. You do not have to decide on an implant before the evaluation. The appointment is a chance to understand a plan for your own situation.
Frequently asked questions
Does the price from $999 include the crown?
The advertised price includes the implant, abutment and zirconia crown. The $35 evaluation is separate, as are any additional procedures indicated for your case.
Can the entire treatment be completed during my vacation?
That depends on your diagnosis and treatment stages. Arrange an evaluation and discuss follow-up before committing to travel dates. A single-visit completion cannot be promised.
