Unless you have unlimited funds....I'd not go out of the country to have this done. It's a process that can take up to a year. First the extraction of the "real" tooth, then healing time, then the implementation of the implant---more healing time. Then the actual placement of the "tooth" on the implant.

I had an infection (not related to the procedure) which I had to have the oral surgeon (Caylor) take care of. At first we weren't sure if it was the implant...but it turned out to be something else. I had to see him at least 2X for this...maybe 3.

If you go out of the country...factor in airline fees, hotel fees etc. In the long run it's not going to be an inexpensive endeavor!
