Based on my own personal experience and because of his Texas A&M degree, I recommend Dr. Sevilla to be your implant dentist in Costa Rica. Excellent experience and all the staff was very professional!
Let start with the basics. What’s a dental implant in the first place? It is a small titanium screw, secured into the jawbone to provide a long-term support for crowns and dentures. The implant fuses to the bone, and it replaces the function of the root of a tooth. What does All-on 4 even mean? What All-on-4 means is that a whole arch of teeth is being supported on 4 strategically-placed dental implants, instead of replacing each tooth separately. Let’s begin by stating who is eligible or better said, who would benefit the most from All-on-4 implants:
Based on the pictures uploaded it seems as if your natural teeth were prepared for crowns and not veneers. Veneers usually just cover the front of your tooth versus crowns that cover front, both sided and back. However, this would be better analyzed with clinically with an oral evaluation and with x-rays.
Gum inflammation is usual. Most patients can certainly have it swell down and heal properly with general cleaning, proper maintence. However, before we begin we would need to complete an oral evaluation with x-rays to find the root of the cause, in order to address it and avoid it continuing to happen.
