Dental Implants in Cancun – Procedure, Safety & Cost
Comprehensive implant care focused on safety and long-term results.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a proven solution for replacing missing teeth by placing medical-grade titanium posts into the jawbone, where they act as artificial tooth roots.
Unlike removable dentures, dental implants integrate with the bone through a biological process called osseointegration. This integration allows implants to restore chewing function, speech, and oral stability while helping preserve jawbone structure over time.
At Shtern Dental Clinic, dental implants are planned as part of a comprehensive dental and surgical evaluation, ensuring that each case is approached safely and predictably.

Dental Implant Procedure – Step by Step
Dental implant treatment follows a structured, multi-stage clinical process designed to ensure long-term success.
- Clinical Evaluation and Diagnosis – Review of medical history, oral examination, and imaging studies.
- Implant Placement – Surgical insertion of the titanium implant into the jawbone under controlled clinical conditions.
- Healing and Osseointegration – A healing phase that allows the implant to integrate with the surrounding bone.
- Abutment Placement – Connection of the implant to the future restoration.
- Final Restoration – Placement of a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.
Each stage is adapted to the patient’s clinical situation and healing response.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants
What happens if I delay getting dental implants?
Delaying treatment can lead to further bone loss, shifting of surrounding teeth, and changes in facial structure. Early treatment often allows for simpler solutions and better long-term outcomes.
Can dental implants fail?
Implant failure is uncommon, but it can happen due to factors such as infection, smoking, uncontrolled medical conditions, or poor oral hygiene. A thorough evaluation and proper aftercare significantly reduce these risks.
What are the risks of dental implant surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as swelling, temporary discomfort, or infection. Serious complications are rare when implants are placed by experienced specialists using proper planning and technique.
Can smokers get dental implants?
Smokers may still be candidates for dental implants, but smoking can affect healing and long-term success. In some cases, lifestyle adjustments are recommended before and after treatment.
What if I’ve had failed implants or previous dental work?
Patients with failed implants or previous treatments are often still candidates for advanced implant solutions. Each case is evaluated individually to determine the safest and most effective approach.
How many trips will I need to complete my treatment?
The number of visits depends on the type of implant and treatment plan. Some patients complete treatment in one or two trips, while others may require additional visits for final restoration.
How long do I need to stay in Cancun for treatment?
Stay length varies based on procedure type. Our team helps coordinate treatment schedules so patients can plan their stay comfortably and efficiently.
Will I be without teeth during the process?
In many cases, temporary teeth are provided during treatment, allowing patients to maintain function and appearance while healing.
How do I care for dental implants after treatment?
Dental implants are cared for like natural teeth, with daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. Proper care supports long-term success.
What makes complex implant cases different?
Complex cases often involve bone loss, previous failures, or anatomical challenges. These situations require advanced planning, specialized techniques, and experienced surgeons.
How durable are All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 implants are designed to be incredibly durable and can last for decades with proper care. The materials used ensure they are strong enough to withstand normal chewing and daily activities.
Will I experience pain during the All-on-4 procedure?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the All-on-4 procedure due to advanced anesthesia techniques. Some mild soreness may occur afterward, but it’s typically manageable with pain relievers.
Is there a price difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
Yes, typically All-on-6 implants may cost slightly more than All-on-4 implants due to the additional supports and enhanced stability they provide. However, both options remain highly affordable compared to other countries.
