Do you offer transportation?
Yes. We provide complimentary transportation to and from the airport, and to all your appointments as long as your hotel is within our pick-up zone (covered by our recommended hotels).
How many days do I have to stay?
It depends on the work. General time frames: implant placement (surgical phase), 4 business days; 1 to 5 units of restorative work, 5 business days; 6 or more units, 9 business days, plus arrival and departure days. Your advisor confirms your exact schedule before you book flights.
Do you give me something for pain?
Yes. Our packages include pain medication, antibiotics and local anesthesia, so you do not need to arrange prescriptions.
Can I be sedated (IV sedation) during the procedure?
Yes. We offer full IV sedation with an anesthesiologist. Let your advisor know during your initial consultation, since the anesthesiologist is scheduled on demand.
What type of anesthesia do you use?
Local anesthetics such as Novocaine for most procedures.
Why do I have to wait several months to restore my implants?
The implants need time to integrate into your jawbone (osseointegration). Restoring them too early puts the whole investment at risk, so we schedule the final teeth once your bone has properly locked the implant in place.
What is a build up?
When a tooth is badly broken or has lost much of its volume, it needs to be rebuilt with a new filling before a crown can restore its function and appearance. That reconstruction is the build up.
What is a connection surgery?
After implants are placed, gum tissue normally covers them while they heal. If the gum still covers the implant when you return for your restorative work, a small incision is made to expose it. That minor step is the connection surgery.
What type of bone grafts do you use?
We use bovine bone graft material, also called xenographic material. It creates a scaffold for your own new bone tissue to grow.
