Feel free to post the Costa Rican info.
Thank you, Robert. Here it is-this is from the dental clinic mentioned earlier in the thread.
E-MAIL-
I am sending as much info as I can.
I will send you helpful information about our dental implants, cost information, how to send x-rays, about us, traveling arrangements, helping you get a passport faster if needed etc..
DENTAL IMPLANTS
We feature the one stage, osteocompressive, immediate load, permanent implants from OCO Biomedical in the USA.
The great advantage of this type of implant system is that it integrates to bone as other implants do, but instead of waiting a few months for your teeth to be built and placed in, all procedures can be completed in a few days. Saving time, money, avoiding second surgeries etc.
Everything done in one trip to Costa Rica.
Please be kind enough to open the attached file with more detailed information about our dental implants and us.
I also recommend that you visit
OCO Biomedical, Inc. , browse around and go to the news section for more information about us.
COST INFORMATION: (everything included, for you to get an idea)
Dental Implants: $500 each
Metal porcelain crowns: $250 each
x-rays, examination, study models: $100
YOUR SPECIFIC CASE
-Extractions and implant placement can be done simultaneously at our office. Better like that. Don't do it before or you will have to wait at least three months for Implants.
-Porcelain fused to metal crowns will replace your original tooth. I can assure you the quality, I cannot comment on the other crowns you already have.
-Braces could be installed on all teeth except implants, if you put braces on them you will make them loose or not move them at all.
No Orthodontist will do that.
-Send a picture of your teeth So I can try to help you on this matter.
TIME FOR COMPLETION
One twelve working day trip(a little bit over two weeks) or two ten day trips.
We don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays.
IMPORTANT: (OPTIONAL SINCE YOU CAN GET THEM AT OUR OFFICE TOO)
To Determine the exact quantity of implants and crowns, it would be very helpful if you could send us a Panoramic x-ray if possible. With that, we can get back to you with a treatment proposal and cost estimates.
YOU DON'T HAVE X-RAYS….
If you don't have them at all and cant get them from your Dentist:
We can help you.
If there is a Dental Radiographic Center close to you, send us information including address, telephone number, fax, e-mails and we will send back a Panoramic x-ray prescription so you can have your x-ray taken and sent to us.
Keep in mind that if you just can't get any x-rays done, we will take them for you at our office. So, don’t worry if you cant get them at all.
