Pay your travel agent, not your dentist and have a great time and vacation.

1. If you're getting implant dentures, that's oral surgery. You're not going to be having a "great time." You'll be in pain for at least a couple of weeks, unable to bite anything very hard for a couple of months, and need to get the temporary dentures adjusted while your mouth heals, and get the finished dentures adjusted once or twice. So figure on staying in Israel for around 6 months - the first of which will be uncomfortable and inconvenienced.
2. If any of this process fails after you get back to the states, good luck finding a dentist who will fix someone else's work. You'll probably need to go BACK to Israel to get it repaired.
