There are many variables that go into getting dental implants in Colombia
Generally speaking, the dental implant procedure is done in two phases, which are 4-5 months apart. The first phase is when any teeth are extracted, bone grafts are done, the implants (rods) are placed in your jaw, and temporary crowns (if applicable) are situated.
You’ll need to be in Cartagena for only 4 days (including weekend days) during this first trip.
A few months later, after your jaw bone has fused with the implant, you’ll come back to Dr. Julio Oliver and he’ll add your permanent crowns. These crowns are heavier and will need the implants to be more secure before they are placed.
Before anything though, you should get scans done to learn if your jaw bone density can support dental implants. If not, you may need bone grafts. In cases where you need a good deal of bone grafts, an additional trip will be needed, making the total 3 trips.
Implant procedure costs are split between the two trips.
