Show me what happens when implants are placed and restored...

While implant-supported restorations do cost more than other tooth replacement options, they are an investment in your long-term oral health.

With implants placed at our Los Algodones office, you can enjoy unparalleled stability as well as a healthier jawbone and an overall stronger smile.

If you wear traditional dentures, you know the discomfort they can cause when they slip or click. Because removable dentures are held in place by suction and dental adhesive, they don't always look or feel like natural teeth. 

Patients who have dentures that are in good condition can come to our Los Algodones, Mexico, office to explore the possibility of converting their dentures into implant-supported restorations. After placing your titanium implants and abutments, Dr. Gonzalez can retrofit your existing dentures to fit securely onto your implants, giving you a newfound sense of security and comfort.

Most patients who are missing one or more teeth qualify for dental implants. However, certain conditions can impact your candidacy for the treatment. Dr. Valenzuela can assess your oral health during an initial consultation at our office and recommend procedures to restore your candidacy for dental implants.

Some factors which can affect your implant candidacy include:

In order to undergo dental implant treatment at our Los Algodones, Mexico, dental office, you will need to be in good oral and overall health. In the months leading up to your visit, maintain your health and abstain from unhealthy habits like smoking, which increases your risk of complications. 

If you are lacking sufficient jawbone tissue, Dr. Valenzuela can perform a bone graft several months prior to your procedure. Once you are healed, you will come back to our office for the next phases of your treatment.

Although you will receive some healing and aftercare instructions upon leaving our Los Algodones office, you will be ready to enjoy your new smile almost immediately. 

Replacing a missing tooth can not only improve your health; treatment can also improve your confidence and quality of life. 

Because they are custom-made to your needs, every implant-supported restoration will look, feel, and fit just like a natural tooth. You can eat your favorite foods once again without worrying about dentures shifting out of place. And with proper care, you can enjoy the benefits of dental implants for several decades or even a lifetime.

Dr. Valenzuela believes that implant dentistry should be available to everyone, regardless of their budget. We provide many of the same services as dentists in the U.S. at a fraction of the price.

The exact cost of treatment with dental implants can vary widely based on a range of factors, such as:

There are more affordable ways to replace lost teeth, but none of them provide the unique benefits of dental implants. For example, if you wear traditional dentures, or if you know anyone who does, you know that regular adjustments are a necessity. These adjustments cost you both time and money. Because dental implants stop the bone atrophy that causes the jaw to change shape after tooth loss, you can expect to need far fewer adjustments. 

It also pays to consider the exceptional functionality implants can provide. Implants allow you to tell a joke, smile for a picture, and indulge in all your favorite foods without having to worry about your restoration shifting out of place. As many dental implant patients can tell you, it's difficult to put a price on the improved quality of life this solution puts within your reach. 

Every surgical procedure involves a degree of risk, but you can expect that Dr. Valenzuela will take advanced measures to make certain that your treatment will be as safe as possible and that the results last for many years. 

Risks associated with this procedure include:

• Infection: Dr. Valenzuela's practice follows the strictest standards of sterilization to minimize the risk of infection.
• Injury to nerves and other tissues: Dr. Valenzuela uses sophisticated cone beam scanners to create three-dimensional renderings of your jaw, facial structure, and all underlying tissues in order to plan a placement strategy that will not disrupt nerves or sinus tissues.
• Implant failure: Dr. Valenzuela will carefully assess your health history and other factors to make absolutely certain that you are healthy enough to undergo surgery and that your jaw is capable of integrating the dental implants.
