Can you get All-on-4 with Sedation Dentistry?

When people come to get All-on-4 or any other dental implant treatment in Cancun, they ask if its going to hurt and if they can be put to sleep during the surgery. We always reassure our patients that All-on-4 only requires local anesthesia but you might opt for Sedation Dentistry. We have a licensed anesthesiologist for this purpose.

The first thing you should know is that Sedation Dentistry is NOT general anesthesia, which means you won’t be put to sleep but you won’t remember a thing of what’s happening and you will be able to follow the doctor’s directions during the surgery. You will stay awake in a haze and you might slur your words a bit.

Who can get Sedation Dentistry?

  • People with anxiety problems
  • People afraid of the dentist
  • People with a low pain threshold
  • People with sensitive gag reflex
  • People afraid of needles
  • People who will get a lot of dental work done
  • People with movement problems (ejem. Parkinson, cerebral palsy, etc)
  • People with autism, alzheimer or similar. This would make the experience to be as smooth as possible without the stressing them.

In all cases, the doctor will still need to evaluate your medical history to see if you have any other conditions that might have to be taken into account to decide if you can get Sedation Dentistry without further problems.

These are some conditions we need to know in advance:

  • Heart conditions
  • Diabetes
  • Liver and Kidney diseases
  • Respiratory problems
  • Previous surgeries
  • Currently pregnant
  • Use of antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications
  • Allergies

 

The doctor will speak with you and work together to see if the sedation dentistry is the best option for you. Also, after the surgery you might need to go back to your hotel and rest, or wait at our clinic. You shouldn’t drive after dentistry sedation and we can arrange transportation for you if you come on your own.

Are you losing your teeth to stress? Demi Moore is losing them too!

 

As we have talked before, stress can affect your teeth in horrible ways. Just some days ago we also found out a big example of this issue when Demi Moore came forward to explain her dental problems on TV:

“I sheared off my front teeth. I’d love to say it was skateboarding or something really kind of cool, but I think it’s something that’s important to share because I think it’s literally, probably after heart disease, one of the biggest killers in in America, which is stress. Stress sheared off my front tooth. But, in an effort to get ready for you, I wanted to make sure my teeth were in”

What’s the reason behind this?? Well, stress and anxiety have a great effect on our teeth and it’s called daytime bruxism. This condition means that people will grind or clench their teeth when they are worried. Even with molars withstanding between 171-275 pounds per inch, the constant pressure through out the day means the structure of the outer-layer of the  teeth (enamel) can be compromised and fissure or even be broken. Once you start losing teeth because of bruxism and it’s not properly addressed by a dentist, it’s very likely that the contiguous teeth will be also affected because the remaining pressure will fall on them. This is a domino effect with your teeth! There are many people who suffer from this condition and end up with almost no teeth. For this reason, All-on-4 can be the solution you are looking for to restore the teeth you have lost.

When you come to our dental clinic in Cancun, Doctor German Arzate will review your dental history with you and analyse all the problems you had to ensure All-on-4 dental implants the right treatment for you. In any case, we applaud Demi Moore for coming forward and shed some light on this important matter.

Care of your All-on-4 treatment!

Guess what! One of our happy patients was back for his yearly All-on-4 cleaning routine and we are happy to see her again! One of the most important thing when getting All-on-4 dental implants is to make sure to give it the best care so it can last for many years to come. You should clean your All on 4 teeth like they were your natural teeth, brushing three times a day (after every meal), as well as using a water irrigator if possible to clean under the dental prostheses from any food debris that might be stuck.

 

It is extremely important to do this because the plaque keeps building up over the surface of your false teeth. This is why a professional dental maintenance is required at least once a year. Coming to Cancun for your vacation would be the best chance to do it with the experts.  If you are looking to clean your All on 4 prostheses on USA or Canada, you must make sure the dentists is an experienced doctor with knowledge of the All-on-4 protocol.  Doctor German Arzate is an experts on many kinds of dental implant techniques and has extensive All on 4 training and the best facilities. In fact, we are about to move to a new location! We will move to a larger area within the same  shopping mall, at walking distance. We always seek to provide you with the BEST service and experience during your dental treatment in Cancun. Stay tuned on our social media to check the photos of our new clinic as soon as we finish moving, so make sure to give us a like in Facebook and follow us on twitter!

All-on-4 common questions and answers!

When our patients contact us asking about All-on-4 dental implants they want to get the best and most accurate information to make a decision about their dental care. This is why we are going to tell you the most common questions made about All-on-4.

 
 

How is it possible to get a new smile with only 4 dental implants?

The All-on-4 dental implant protocol is a treatment plan where implants are placed strategically (2 implants are parallel and the other 2 tilted at 45 degrees) so that it has a good mechanical retention to support the titanium bar.

 

How long do the All-on-4 dentures last?
Dentures have a quality of life of approximately 15 years, this includes periodic reviews with your dentist and maintenance of them. They also require daily care as if they were your natural teeth. We must take care of them and brush them when we wake up and before bed and after every meal.

 

What are the new teeth made of?

The dentures have an inner titanium structure, and the teeth themselves can be either porcelain or acrylic. Both of these materials provide the resistance necessary to withstand the chewing forces of your bite.

 

How do I know that I am a candidate for All-on-4?

After an evaluation with the doctor through x-rays, CT scans and a clinical review, and depending on the amount of bone and remnants of teeth they can determine if you are a candidate for either procedure.

 

Can I use my own dentures and adjust them?

For All on 4 it is not possible to adjust an older denture. Alternatively, that can be done if you decide to go for SNAP IN DENTURES with mini implants, which we also offer at our dental clinic in Cancun.

All-on-4 Happy Patient Joshua (with video)

When people are looking for a denture alternative, they find that the All-on-4 cost in USA and Canada to be prohibitive for their budget. Luckily for them they can find an affordable All-on-4 dental implant option in our dental clinic in Cancun.

 

Joshua was one of such patients that have discovered the benefits of a fixed implant denture with the most advanced technology as well as enjoying the best dental service and care.  Here we have a video testimonial he did.

 

 

Doctor German Arzate: Big hugs to Hawaii! We have beautiful sea here but Hawaii is also one of the best thing you can do when you are looking for ocean. I’d love to go there.

Joshua: Come on up! You will always love it!

Doctor German Arzate: Come on up! Are you a surfer?

Joshua: A little bit.

Doctor German Arzate: Nice! So big hugs to Hawaii. Thank you for coming! We are going to perform an All-on-4 so lets get work, this is a beautiful day here in sunny Cancun. Big hugs to Hawaii. Thank you!

Joshua: Thank you.

Joshua: It was a great experience. Everything went great. Everybody was wonderful. I actually had a good time while I was here, so despite dental work it was a good experience.

Doctor Wendy: What was the difference between the prices in Hawaii and here in Cancun?

Joshua: They can’t even be compared. In Hawaii the cost is at least three times more expensive, including the cost of the trip to come here so, the price put it out of reach for me there, I wasn’t even able to consider having it done there I would have just gotten a simple set of dentures, which also would have been very expensive, and I wouldn’t have been happy at all with the final outcome. So, with the popularity of implants dentistry now I decided to search around and I found Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry and decided to give them a call and see what I can do. The price was right, everything looked good so here I am.

Wendy: And what did you think about the doctors and the staff?

Joshua: Oh, the doctors and staff are great! Everybody made me feel really comfortable. Actually, as I said earlier, I had a good time coming here everyday and I didn’t dread it or worried about really anything. The doctors are really professional, knowledgeable, and explain everything very well, it was overall a very good experience.

Doctor Wendy: Thank you so much for you coming Joshua, thank you for your confidence, and your patience because it was big treatment and we are really grateful you being here.

Joshua: You are welcome! Thank you! It was a good experience, I’m glad I did it!

Doctor Wendy: Thank you so much! Another happy patient! You can be another one!

A mixed dental implant solution with All-on-4

For today’s post about All-on-4, we will talk about our dear patient June Penny who made a video about her journey to get the smile of her dreams. It all started about three years ago, when June began doing extensive research about implant dentures and her possible options to perform this procedure. She found out about our dental implant clinic in Cancun, and decided to get in touch with us.

At the time, she couldn’t afford the whole All-on-4 treatment so, instead, she decided to get Snap in Dentures in the meantime. What’s the difference between Snap in Dentures and All-on-4? The difference is quite easy. Snap in Dentures are adapted dentures with o-rings that can be removed from the mouth and stay in place with the help of mini implants. They don’t have roof of the palate either so the patient can still enjoy the normal flavors of food and don’t worry about the usual gag reflex that accompanies regular dentures.

 

Snap in Dentures are removable and after a year, she felt she was ready to take the next step. She liked her Snap in Dentures but she had always had in mind getting a “permanent” solution in All-on-4 dental implants. When she returned a year later, she got All on 4 implants on the top arch of her mouth. She had decided to wait and save enough to do this in Cancun too, as All on 4 in USA was about 35,000 USD per bridge!

 

June suggests other people who are suffering pain because of bad teeth, that they get the all-on-4 protocol if they can, because, while Snap in Dentures are very practical, she feels that nothing beats for the bridge to be fixed.
In the following video, June explains at length about her experience and decision about upgrading to a fixed titanium dental bridge with All-on-4 implants.

All-on-4 Happy Patient Video Testimonial Review!

One of the best ways to understand how All-on-4 dental implants can help you is watching the testimonial reviews with our patients. This time, Steve made a video review with us answering some questions about the cost of all-on-4 dental implants in Cancun and his experience in our All-on-4 dental clinic.

 

 

 

I had an All-on-4 process, that those are dentures that are permanent. They are All-on-4. They feel great. I feel awesome. Just really nice!

I had gum problems, I was losing teeth and I got a bridge, a partial, then, you know, I wanted something else, permanent and strong teeth. Strong so I could eat anything.

Here it was about $24,000 USD and in the same process I had a consultation and in America, before I came down here, the last consultation I had, was at least $45,000 USD there. So what is the difference? I paid for vacation and saved quite a bit more.

[I found them] online. And I saw great reviews, I talked with them online, and I think I’ll go down there to get a free consultation, hang up for a bit. That’s what I did. I end up coming down a year later after the consultation to get it done.
The clinic was awesome. Very clean. Very nice. They play music in here. The staff was very friendly, pretty attentive. They were very meticulous on everything they did with the teeth, just right.

The bite is right on. It’s perfect. And you know, it’s new teeth, getting used to, but it feels great.
Doctor German Arzate was awesome. I would say I had a good time, everything very friendly, right on top of everything.

One of the best parts besides being able to eat everything I want, they look awesome.

How to get All-on-4 with Nobel Biocare dental implants?

Say goodbye to adhesive dentures and all your discomforts by placing a permanent denture fixed by Nobel Biocare dental implants. You can get a new smile that will allow you to eat comfortably, improve your look and make you feel better. This dental implant protocol provides comfort and tranquility to the patient.

 

The first step you should do to get your new permanent teeth is to let our dentists evaluate your case. After diagnosis, our specialist will indicate the best solution for you. All-on-4 implants is best for people who have little bone left… but we also have other procedures to help you.

 

One of the things that are very helpful to evaluate is to use a CT scan, that is, a 3D model of your mouth to plan all the treatment before it even starts… specially to check the state of your bone. We have digital panoramic x-rays on our All on 4 dental clinic, as well as mobile x-rays to help during the procedure to ensure the correct placement of the All on 4 dental implants.

 

Before starting you receive local anesthesia, but you can also get dentistry sedation… then the dentist will use the surgical guide made by Nobel Biocare to ensure the perfect placement of the implants.

 

After taking the impressions, choosing the size, color and shape of your teeth you can go on to rest and relax in Cancun while the laboratory is making the titanium bar with teeth.  You will be called to be informed your new teeth are ready to try them and make small adjustments, allowing you to recover the smile, functionality and confidence almost immediately.

As soon as you leave the dental clinic you can start using your teeth, although our dentist will recommend you start with a soft diet the first few days.

All on 4 dental implant patient review! – All on 4 in Cancun

 

We want to thank our patient Kimberly, who came from Philadelphia to get All on 4 in Cancun with Dr. German Arzate while having amazing dental vacations! Her time here was great for her because she loves golf, snorkel, water sports and went on tours in Cancun.


She had  health concerns about her teeth and was tired of being depressed without smiling.  She was doing research for over a year about what king of extensive dental work she needed to get for a permanent solution. She wanted her smile back!  When she started thinking about All on 4 dental implants one year ago, she first looked with doctors near home in USA, but the average All-on-4 cost was about $60,000 USD.

 

Because of our low prices and good word of mouth, she decided to come to a dentist in Cancun for her All on 4 treatment, with Dr. German Arzate and enjoy amazing dental vacations in our white sand beaches. She was amazed with our clinic and work quality and went home very happy with her new smile and after 10 days of relaxation in Cancun!

 

This is the review she left with us:

Impeccable, efficient and clean. Very welcoming. Doctor Wendy was highly compassionate, a true perfectionist, extremely profesional, connects with you immediately. The dentist back home was not a good experience, the doctor was very vague and non-informative. Here it was absolutely incredible.

All of you have been an amazing team from start to finish. As nervous and anxiety filled as my react was, you all have made this the absolutely best dental experience of my life. Thank you for giving me the ability to smile again!

 

Thank you Kimberly so much for trusting in us to help you out!

What to do while you wait for your All-on-4 in Cancun?

When you get All-on-4 dental implants in Cancun, there are numerous things to do to have a great time during your dental vacation in Cancun! You will be able to do many things while you wait for your new teeth to be done; so unless you are an All-on-4 patient who got a sinus lift or a bone graft for your All-on-4 treatment in Cancun, you can go out and have the time of your life. This Caribbean heaven has some of the most beautiful shorelines on the world. The ocean in Cancun will blow your mind with its shades of blue.

 

One of the best things to do in Cancun is to go on a boat to party and eat in Isla Mujeres. You will discover these medium sized vessels on the Hotel Zone docks that are perfect for family trips or to go on excursion with other tourists. You will be able to appreciate a superb scenery, have fun and eat some of the local cuisine (make sure your trip includes the food and beverages!).  One of the activities you can do on these boats  are snorkeling on a part of the reef situated between Cancun and Isla Mujeres. You can also visit parts of the Riviera Maya.

 

The tour guides will go into the water with you to show you the schools of fishes that live here. Among the fishes you will likely find here we can name surgeonfish, blue and yellow tang, smallmouth, parrotfish, angelfish and more. Around there you may likewise several types of corals and other plants (brains, tubes, fans). It is vital that you DO NOT TOUCH these corals. They are the home of small microorganism and touching them will probably damage them. Also remember to use only eco-friendly sunblock to avoid contaminating the water. After that you will probably be taken to Isla Mujeres where you will eat a delicious local dish or other Mexican food.
