Dental costs in United States are considerable?

Image
That is why today many patients turn to Costa Rica, where dental care is of excellent quality, very fast times, and significantly lower prices; and for those who rely on our organization, airport shuttle and hotel accommodation can be free.  We believe it is important to rely on a real organization like Freer Dental Implant Center , not hidden behind only mobile numbers, with offices and a solid structure made up of people with proven organizational experience. For patients who contact us or visit us at our San José offices, I usually explain in detail all the essential and organizational aspects of care at the  Freer Dental Implant Center. Dentists: their professionalism, the studies and qualifications they've received, their experience, and their specializations. All operate in compliance with the strict hygiene and safety standards imposed by strict country regulations. Cures and treatments: How much they cost? What they involve, how and when they are carried ou...

The Warranty in Dentistry is Guaranteed?

Image
Nowadays, whatever expenses are incurred to pay for an item is balanced by a guarantee. When is a health service paid the same thing? "Medicine is not an exact science", we often hear. And in the health field, there are diagnostic and operational processes that differ in many ways from the mere purchase of an object. But it is also true that healthcare costs put a strain on patients' pockets, which cannot be deprived of a form of guarantee on the therapies to which they have been subjected, so the subject I believe deserves further study. Just last month I had 30 minutes on the agenda to meet the lawyer of one of my patients who is carrying out a legal battle to claim damages and compensation against her previous dentist. She had been reporting her previous dentist due to issues with an aesthetically beautiful total ceramic crown restoration, which underneath the crowns I don't think there was even one without infection. This has made me reflect on what form...

Do You Know That if You Lose a Tooth it's a Problem?

Image
There is something that always surprises the dentists when a patient visits their clinic for the first time. Medical history is compiled before you sit down at the dental chair and the doctor see you for the first time, which is the way to indicate a series of questions about the patient's state of health. One of the questions we ask concerns the reason for the visit, which is often "control and cleaning". As soon as doctors introduced themself and read the medical history, the first thing they say to the patient is: - "Ok, you wrote that you came for a check and a hygiene session. So you have no particular suspicions or pains? Does everything look okay? " And often the answer is: - "Yes, it was a while since I went to the dentist ... I wanted to do some cleaning" Then the doctors ask: - "And in the past have you have had big problems or do you have one of those mouths that just needed little care?" And often as an answer we ge...

But I have good news for you who are almost struggling to read this post for the squeeze. There is a solution to your problem and it's called IV Sedation!

Total Edentulism

Image
Total edentulism, i.e. the lack of all the teeth in one or both arches represents for many an important aesthetic and psychological problem but, also and above all, at a functional level; just think of the difficulties in simple chewing.  It is no coincidence that those who suffer from it are often forced to a diet made almost exclusively of liquid / soft foods. Over the years, moreover, total edentulism causes reabsorption of the maxillary bone, which, by thinning, can cause, among other things, real modifications of the facial profile. Rehabilitation of oral functions must hence, mean for the patient: Satisfaction Ease of adaptation Chewing functionality Self-esteem Aesthetic improvement Better quality of life and social relationships And this the wearers of mobile prostheses, perpetually worried about its instability, know this well. The lack of several teeth can, therefore, be happily resolved by resorting to modern implantology: Overdenture, mobile ...

Integral Ceramics and Aesthetic Restoration: The Incredible Truth!

Image
Perhaps you have seen in the mouth of some of your relative's gray teeth that are anything but natural ... or maybe you see them in your mouth! Maybe the dentist cemented a ceramic crown there and after a while, the infamous dark border appeared! Well…. I'll tell you a simple truth: The most beautiful restoration is the one you can't see! In recent years there have been incredible revolutions in dentistry. Unthinkable technologies until a few years ago and simplifications that have improved the standard of care of every dentist! But what I prefer is perhaps also the least widespread: THE ABOLITION OF METAL (PFM)! Yes, if even because the gold restorations had probably unparalleled precision and the gray fillings could last even 30 or 40 years, the Metal does not belong to the human mouth.  If someone wants to convince you that in 2020 there is still a space for the metal in the crowns restoration of patients, run away from that clinic ... your health cou...

Fear of the dentist: here are some remedies to defeat her forever

Image
Don't you have the slightest intention of hearing the noise of the dental drill once again? Whenever you should go to the dentist don't you do it because you're too scared? Here is all you need to know to eliminate the fear of the dentist forever. Many patients suffer from the so-called "white coat anxiety", a form of repulsion towards the whole medical category. Anxiety, tachycardia, pallor, sense of fainting, nausea ... are just some of the symptoms that you will have definitely experienced in a similar circumstance. Odontophobia, fear of the dentist When the problem is closely related to dental treatments we talk about dental phobia. The dental phobia patient develops a sense of rejection towards any type of contact with the dentist. Often, in the most serious cases, the patient cannot even go to the first visit. You can call yourself a dental phobic patient if the fear of the dentist is such that it far surpasses the desire to improve your aesthetics ...

Remove a failed dental implant: why it happens and what it consists of

Image
Did the dentist tell you that your implant is lost and should be removed? What are the causes of this failure? Let's find out together what is to remove a failed dental implant. In the last decade, implantology has reached very high levels in terms of guarantee, success, and safety. However, it can happen that that much-coveted facility that you have entered, at a certain distance of time, goes bankrupt. In such cases, the only possible treatment is the removal of the screw. Only later will it be possible to assess whether the area may be suitable for second implant surgery or for a different treatment. Why remove a dental implant The greatest fear of those who must undergo implant surgery is the risk of losing the implant. In fact, over time a series of biological or prosthetic problems can occur that require their removal. Generally in the first 5 years from the insertion of the vine, the biological problems prevail (lack of osseointegration, mucositis, peri-impla...
