The honest timeline
Implants take two trips. Anyone who says otherwise is selling.
Trip 1: placement (3-5 days)
CT scan, extraction if needed, implant placement and a temporary solution. You fly home while the implant fuses with bone.
Healing (3-6 months)
Osseointegration happens on its own at home. Good clinics check in remotely during this window.
Trip 2: the crown (4-5 days)
Abutment and final crown, fitted and adjusted. Two short Caribbean trips still cost far less than one US implant.
Same-day “immediate load” implants exist and can be legitimate in the right bone, but they carry higher failure risk when used to close a sale. If a clinic pushes everything into one trip without explaining the tradeoff, walk away.
Protect yourself
The implant questions that matter
- Which implant system, exactly? Get the brand and model in writing.
- What is the documented failure protocol if the implant does not integrate?
- Do I get my CT scans, placement records and lot numbers to take home?
- Who places it: a general dentist or an implant specialist, and how many per year?
- Is gum disease treated before placement, not papered over?
Common questions
Implants in Cancun: FAQ
Integration failure happens in roughly 2 to 5 percent of cases worldwide. It usually shows in the first months, before the crown trip. The protection is a written failure protocol up front: replacement terms, what is covered and what the process is. We help you get that in writing before you commit.
Usually not, and you should be wary of anyone promising it for standard cases. The bone needs months to fuse. Plan two trips, or ask honestly about immediate-load tradeoffs.
Most patients report less pain than a tooth extraction. Expect soreness for a few days, managed with normal pain relief. You can be back at the beach the next day, gently.
It depends on bone density, gum health and habits like smoking. A CT scan answers it definitively. Send us your X-rays or scan and we will get you an honest read before you spend on flights.
