Medical Dental implant in CABA

[earlyretirement]

The overall experience hasn't been bad but I still don't quite understand the several visits before the first procedure which was the tooth extraction. I did have to see a few different dentists and none of them did anything except saying that 'yeah I do need an implant' which I already knew before moving to this country. I was going to do it back in my homeland but I was in the process of moving here and realized that the implant process would be long so I decided to go ahead and move here. My implant dentist is actually different from the one who will be making the crown but it is at the same clinic.

Hi @Jakoval,

Thanks for posting your update as I'm sure it will be helpful to others. I'm going through this process now in the USA. I've already had 2 implants before here in San Diego but this is my third one. The process is the same. I had to get my tooth extracted and then they do the bone graph and stitch you up and then you have to wait 3 months from the time of the extraction. You are through the hardest part. It's a LONG process.

My 2nd tooth that I had to do an implant a few years ago while going through the process the bone graph got infected and they had to start the process over with the bone graph. It was a long and expensive process. I hope the rest of yours goes smoothly.

My regular dentist is the one that put the custom crown on. Here it is like that as well.
