Full rehabilitation with the use of an "all on 4" dental treatment is in the past. We have improved it with the use of an " all on 6" which is, as the name implies, adding 2 more implants to the original treatment. Why? , It´s safer and I want to make sure that your dental investment is not lost. If you were to loose one of your implants with the "all on 4" your treatment will fall apart and yes, your money with it. By adding two more implants the structure will be strong enough to survive the lost of one, which is fairly common. Yes, the important question comes to your mind now, how much more is it going to cost me? The cost of an "all on 6" is just a little more expensive, nothing to worry about, it still stays below the prices you are offered in the United States.

It also assures us that the price you pay is it. Even if one falls down the repair cost will remain from a minimum to nothing in comparison to what a whole new reconstruction of an "all on 4" will cost you. Think about a dental work with: lower costs, beautiful country, a Doctor with 30 years of experience, awesome staff, and the smile you have been dreaming about. We are waiting for you. Pura Vida!

ZIRCONIUM CROWNS
One of the most important advances in the field of odontology consists in the use of zirconium for both crowns on natural roots or implants as entire structures in fixed rehabilitations on implants, allows us very usefully replace metal alloys and ceramics which until recently were the only model used in this kind of rehabilitation.

Dental crowns made of porcelain united to metal are stronger than pure ceramic versions and more aesthetically pleasing than those prepared with metal. However, their metal caps provide an opaque ceramic crowns combined to metal appearance.

Because they do not have the reflective quality of natural teeth, porcelain crowns fused to metal are not as discreet as ceramic crowns. Also, products with this type of crown and over time, you may look a thin strip of metal along the gum line.

Replacing the metal structures enables us to provide the patient a higher biocompatibility of the prosthesis that will be better tolerated by the gums and prevent the risk of metal allergies in susceptible persons.

Another important to recommend ceramic zirconium prosthesis factor is certainly the aesthetics. Being a white and translucent material allows us to realize dentures more natural and bright. On the other hand, lacking below the ceramic metal structure, never gray edges will be in the case that the gum retracts Over the time.

The Zirconium crown is ultra modern and super efficient for replacing your missing teeth solution, he will smile more often and others will be astonished. It was used for the first time in 1998 at the dental clinic at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), and since then its popularity increased continuously.

Lot of patients because of the name, believe that the crown is realized in zirconium. But in fact, only the inner side is made of this material, but the external part is made of ceramic. The combination of such materials provides a high resistance teeth and an aesthetic that is not comparable with other kinds of dental crowns.

The zirconium crowns are lighter in weight than metal-ceramic but up to 50% stronger;

The dental zirconium is fully compatible with the human body. It is not a metal and does not cause allergies; Zirconium white color permits the use of crowns for a longer period. With these crowns will never be visible metal, even if the gum is removed or a piece of broken ceramic.

The zirconium crowns limited adherence of the dental plaque; zirconium oxide is not transparent to light compared to pure porcelain, so also when they are coated gray teeth, can become quite aesthetic.

Zirconium crown also has a low thermal conductivity (because it is free of metallic parts), so you can eat hot or cold meal without tasting disagreeable sensations caused by the temperature. If right design of the structure is made as of the range and precision, there is no disadvantage to structures metal-ceramic. In the industry it is used for over 40 years. The primary zirconium white color can be changed thanks to the possibility of coloration by immersion with the 16 colors of the VITA scale. Its properties allow the rehabilitation of teeth with high level of quality.
