Dental implants in Los Algodones

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone that holds a crown, a bridge or a full set of teeth. At LOSAN Dental in Los Algodones, implants are planned by prosthodontist Dr. Diego Lopez after a clinical exam and X-rays. Most cases take two trips: one to place the implants and one, after healing, for the final teeth.

How does a dental implant work?

  • Implant: A titanium post placed in the jawbone, where the root used to be.
  • Abutment: The connector that joins the implant to the new tooth.
  • Crown: The visible tooth, shaped and shaded to match your smile.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most adults who are missing teeth can receive implants. Dr. Diego Lopez checks:

  • Enough bone to hold the implant — or whether a bone graft or sinus lift is needed first
  • Healthy gums, or a plan to treat gum disease before the implants
  • General health conditions such as diabetes or smoking, which affect healing
  • Your bite, so the new teeth last

What happens on each trip?

  1. Trip 1 · Evaluation and implants. Clinical exam, X-rays and a written plan with the total cost. If the bone allows, the implants are placed on this trip.
  2. Healing at home. The implant bonds with the bone over a few months. You can usually wear a temporary tooth meanwhile.
  3. Trip 2 · Final teeth. Impressions and fitting of the final crown, bridge or full arch, adjusted to your bite.

Why have a prosthodontist plan your implants?

A prosthodontist is the specialist in replacing teeth. Dr. Diego Lopez plans the implant position from the final tooth backward — where the crown must sit to look natural and to bite well — and then restores it himself. That continuity is why many LOSAN patients describe their plans as conservative and clear.

Questions about dental implants

Is it safe to get dental implants in Mexico?

Safety depends on the clinic and the dentist, not on the country. At LOSAN Dental, implant treatment is planned and performed by Dr. Diego Lopez, a prosthodontist, after a clinical exam and X-rays, following sterilization and clinical protocols. Ask us about the implant system we use and the guarantee for your treatment.

How many trips do I need?

It depends on the treatment. Crowns and veneers can often be completed in a single trip of a few days. Dental implants usually take two trips: one to place the implants and another, after a healing period of a few months, for the final teeth. Your exact plan is defined at your evaluation.

How much do dental implants cost in Los Algodones?

The cost depends on how many implants you need, whether you need bone grafting, and the type of final teeth. LOSAN Dental gives every patient a written plan with the total cost before treatment starts.

Can I be sedated if I am nervous?

Some treatments can be performed under IV sedation for patients who feel anxious or need long procedures. Ask during your evaluation whether it is an option for your case.

Do dental treatments come with a guarantee?

Yes, most of our dental treatments come with a guarantee. We stand behind our work and will explain the specific terms during your consultation.
