<h2 class="HEADINGS">One Hour Dental Implants</h2>
<h2 class="HEADINGS002">Dental Implants Cost from $ 1,350</h2>
<h2 class="HEADINGS002">Cost with Financing $ 41 per month</h2>
<h2 class="HEADINGS007">This Price Includes: Titanium Implant, Temporary Crown and Permanent Crown</h2>
<p class="HEADINGS002">
<div id="templatead1"></div>
<p class="body001">This innovative technique is revolutionizing the way people around the world receive dental implants. Dental implants are definitely the best option to help those with missing teeth. However, traditional implants are expensive and a very time consuming process often taking from 6 to 18 months to complete with multiple surgeries. With same day implants you will not have to wait 2 to 6 months until you have teeth. On the day of your implant surgery you will leave the office with a temporary crown attached to your implant. One month later the permanent crown can be attached.</p>
<p class="body001">
<p class="HEADINGS004">This technique can be used in the following situations</p>
<ul>
<li class="body001">Single tooth replacement</li>
<li class="body001">Multiple tooth replacement</li>
<li class="body001">On the same day as extraction(s)</li>
<li class="body001">Secure your existing dentures</li>
</ul>
<p class="HEADINGS004">Other than the dental implant cost, what is the difference between same day implants and traditional implants?</p>
<p class="HEADINGS004">
<ul>
<li class="body001">In brief traditional implants consists of the following steps:</li>
<li></li>
<li class="body001">First surgery-oral surgeon exposes the jaw bone and drills a 6 to 7mm hole to insert a 4mm titanium post.</li>
<li></li>
<li class="body001">Waiting time of approximately 2 to 6 months until your bone grows around the post.</li>
<li></li>
<li class="body001">Second surgery-oral surgeon exposes the tip of each post and attaches the crown.</li>
<li></li>
<li class="body001">If a bone graft is needed another surgery would be needed before inserting the titanium post adding another 4 to 8 months of healing time. This is very common as traditional implants can only be inserted vertically.</li>
</ul>
<p class="body001">
<p class="HEADINGS004">Same day dental implant method<a name="001"></a></p>
<p class="body001">
<p class="body001">Under a light pain medication such as Ibuprofen and local anesthesia, the doctor will drill a 2.25 mm hole through the gum and jaw bone and insert a 4mm titanium post that is very similar to a screw. Once the post has been inserted she will place a temporary tooth on the post. Usually the process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The inserted titanium post is very secure from the beginning but for the first month it is important to take care of the temporary tooth by not eating foods such as raw carrot, apples etc to allow the bone to fully attach to the post.</p>
<p class="body001">
<p class="body001">In 30 days you can have your permanent crown in place.</p>
<p class="body001">
<p class="body001">With tramonte implants if there is insufficient bone directly above the missing tooth. The implant can be set at an angle and relieve the need for bone grafting.</p>

We have an excellent dentist who specializes in one day dental implants at 1/3 the cost of what you would pay in the states. Whats amazing is you actually leave the office with a full set of teeth. The process is truly amazing and I think it will change the way dentists all over the world do dental implants. Check out our Dental section. We do also have some packages available for 4 and 8 dental implants. Lets us know how many you need and we will see what we can do. </em></td>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 class="HEADINGS">Dental Crowns: Capping damaged teeth</h1>
<h1 class="HEADINGS007">Cost per tooth$ 355</h1>
<div id="templatead1"></div>
<p><span class="board001">&#8220;Dental crowns are a &#8220;cap&#8221; that is fitted/placed over a damaged tooth. Crowns cover the tooth and enhance the size, color or shape to change its appearance. &#8221; </span></p>
<p align="left"><span class="body001">When a tooth is heavily decayed it may be too weak to survive and also it is more likely to fracture and lose considerable tooth substance. The greater risk is that a fracture line may go below the margin of the gum which makes restoration more difficult or near impossible. </span></p>
<p class="HEADINGS">What will a dental crown do for me?</p>
<ul>
<li class="body001"><strong>Dental crowns protect weak teeth from chipping or to bond together a cracked tooth.</strong></li>
<li class="body001"><strong>Crowns will restore a tooth that has been worn/grinded down. </strong></li>
<li class="body001"><strong>Crowns can cover a tooth with a large filling (cosmetic)Crowns are commonly used to secure dental bridges in situ.</strong></li>
<li><span class="body001"><strong> Cosmetic repair to misshaped or stained, or discolored teeth.Dental crowns are always used as the tooth for dental implants.</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<div id="templatead1"></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="body001" align="left"><span class="bodyhighlight">Crowns</span>, also known as caps, restore damaged teeth. A crown covers a tooth and mimics the shape, size and color of the surrounding teeth. Crowns are indicated for cracked teeth and teeth with deep cavities; to protect teeth that have been filled by root-canal treatment; to provide extra support for bridges; and to cover poorly shaped or colored teeth.</p>
<p class="body001" align="left">Crowns may be made of metal, porcelain, or newer restorative materials. They are custom-made and fitted for each patient in conformation with the patient&#8217;s bite, and the size and length of the natural teeth. Dental crowns typically last five to eight years, but can last much longer with proper oral hygiene.</p>

<td class="body002withpad" width="481">Palmer&#8217;s notation is a widely used method to designate individual teeth. In Palmer&#8217;s notation, your mouth is divided into four parts called quadrants, that is the upper left quadrant, the upper right quadrant, the lower left quadrant, and the lower right quadrant as illustrated in the figure on the right. Then each individual tooth in the quadrant is given a name. For example the two upper and two lower teeth at the center of your mouth are called central&#8217;s. One then combines the names of the quadrant and the tooth to come up with a Palmer&#8217;s notation. For example, the central on the upper right side of your mouth is called an upper right central.</td>
