# Dental implants in Colombia, *planned before you fly.*

From one missing tooth to a full arch — a personalized plan, a clear price and a team that coordinates every trip.

> **Quick answer:** A dental implant is a titanium or zirconia post placed in the jawbone that replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a crown, a bridge or a full-arch prosthesis. With Dr. Mendoza, implant treatment is **planned and priced after a free virtual assessment**, because it depends on how many teeth are missing and on your bone. Implants usually need **more than one trip**, since the bone needs time to heal around them.

## Options

| Option | When it is used |
| --- | --- |
| Single implant + crown | One missing tooth, healthy teeth on both sides |
| Implant-supported bridge | Several missing teeth in a row |
| Full arch on implants (e.g. All-on-4 / All-on-6) | Most or all teeth in an arch missing or failing — a fixed set of teeth on 4–6 implants |
| Implant-supported (snap-in) denture | A removable option that stays firmly in place |

## All-on-4 vs. All-on-6

Both replace a full arch with fixed teeth. **All-on-4** uses four implants, angled to make the most of the available bone. **All-on-6** adds two more implants to spread the chewing forces, which some patients with enough bone prefer. The right choice depends on your bone volume and bite — that is decided in your evaluation.

## Why implants usually take more than one trip

After an implant is placed, the bone bonds to it over several weeks to months (osseointegration). A common plan is: a first trip for evaluation, any extractions and implant placement, often with temporary teeth; and a second trip for the final teeth once healing is complete. Your plan tells you how many trips you need before you commit.

## Implants or veneers?

Veneers cover the front of teeth you still have; implants replace teeth you don't. Many full-mouth plans combine both — implants where teeth are missing, veneers or crowns on the rest — so the whole smile matches.

### How much is a dental implant in Colombia?

It depends on the number of implants, the type of teeth on top and whether you need bone grafting. Dr. Mendoza gives you a written plan and price after the free assessment.

### Is getting implants painful?

Placement is done under anesthesia. Some swelling and discomfort in the following days is normal and managed with medication.

### Can I get implants and veneers in the same treatment?

Yes. Many patients combine them in one plan so every tooth matches.
