Third party financing through United Credit

That depends on the type of dental procedure you choose but the cost of comparable services in the Americas is favorable often resulting in savings of up to 70% or more. 

Fees in the U.S are driven by labor overhead, administrative expenses, and insurance contracts that favor the large corporations. Over 71 percent of dental costs are labor related according to a recent World Health Organization report. This helps to explain some of the cost advantages for countries with lower labor costs structures.

Do you provide sedatives, nitrous or IV sedation?

Due to national regulations, our clinic is unable to provide nitrous oxide or narcotic medications to patients. IV sedation is available with an anesthesiologist. Please mention this at the moment of your consultation.

What brand of dental implants do you restore?

We work mostly with BioHorizons and Straumann implants, but we are able to restore basically any brand distributed in the United States so long as you provide the implant specifications before your visit. The information required is brand, size, and model.

After the implant is surgically placed on your jawbone, bone cells grow around its threads and after several months harden into bone. This process is called osseointegration and it is necessary before the final crown placement. Loading the implant immediately can endanger the success of the implant. 

Titanium dental implants have a very high success rate (98%). Usually, implant cases that fail are due to systemic risk factors like diabetes, excessive tobacco use, osteoporosis, etc.

The bone graft used is an allograft (means it is taken from another being) of mineralized and sterilized bovine bone chips that act as a scaffold for new bone formation. This is obtained from authorized brands.

Surgical and endodontic work are performed by specialists who come to the clinic on call.

The CAD/CAM is a 3D technology that allows the dental clinic to obtain 3 Dimensional impression of your teeth, with the help of the CAD software, Rio Grande Dental can design the final restoration in less time than traditional methods
