OUR DENTAL IMPLANTS

Ours is breakthrough technology!!

We have more than 30 years of experience placing Dental Implants with over 17,300 placed to date.

We were the first ones to place Dental Implants in Costa Rica and the first ones to provide dental treatment to foreign patients from around the world.

We offer a wide variety of Dental Implants to meet all of your needs:

Titanium Implants
All Ceramic Implants made out of 100% Zirconium Dioxide
Mini and regular size Implants
One stage immediate load Implants (same day implants)
Two stage delayed load implants

The OCO Biomedical, Tatum Dental, and Z-Systems Regular Size Implants used by us are :

ISI : Immediate load regular Implants
TSI Two Stage Delayed Load Implants

In some special cases the I-Imini and Intra-lock Implants are used, with great success too.

THE ONE STAGE, OSTEOCOMPRESSIVE IMPLANTS, (IMMEDIATE LOAD)

These implants work with the same principles as the two stage implants. They achieve Osseo integration (a biological, natural “bonding” of the jaw bone with the implant) through Osteocompression (compacting the bone for better density) and Dual Stabilization (initial stabilization for the implant in your jaw).
In other words, an especially designed implant is placed in your jaw and through function, the loading method and lack of movement it will bond to the bone, even in an immediate time frame. It works!!!

An Overview of Dental One Stage Osteocompressive Immediate Load Implants

ALL CERAMIC DENTAL IMPLANTS FROM Z-SYSTEMS IN USA

The Z-Look3 Implants
Affordable --Metal Free-- Dental Implantology!!

In our quest to always present new treatment alternatives for our patients we now offer non metallic 100% Zirconium Dioxide Implants with the same simple, conservative and same placement techniques as our other implant systems.

The Z-Look3 Dental Implants are made of High Performance Zirconium Oxide Ceramic, have excellent biological compatibility thanks to their rough surface texture. Z-Look3 Dental Implants bond very well with the jaw bone (osseointegration) and are tolerated by the gums as well as Titanium Implants.

These Implants are white colored and have been approved by the FDA, German and other European Governing Boards.

The Z-look3 System is part of a completely metal-free dental restoration –ideal for patients with allergies or for those who just do not want any metal restorations.

Since the instruments and the restorative crown over the implant are made from Zirconium also, this guarantees that you never come into contact with metal at any stages.

Implants and surgical instruments are produced from zirconium
The Z-Look3 implant system enables completely Metal-free treatment
Four different one-piece implant designs for a broad range of indications
