Dental Implant Recommendations Needed
 

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting since I moved here in May, so be nice! 😊

I'm in need of dental implants and specifically interested in the All-on-4.

I am hoping to get recommendations on a really good doctor /implant facility that you have used, or know of someone that has used, and were very happy with the results and the whole process.

The reviews I have read vary so much within every facility I've researched that it's hard to choose.

Feel free to PM me if you find this to be a very personal matter.

Thanks!

I would recommend Shands in Gainesville.

Thank you so much!

You can try to go to the dental school, but I have been rejected twice, no reason given. I have used Dr. Novak in Busnell for four implants. He does a terrific job, and I love his kind personality. But he's not inexpensive. I think about 5K per implant, but that includes the crown. Their office staff is fabulous to work with. Home | Joseph Brent Novak DMD, PA - Dentist in Bushnell, FL It's down 301, almost to Bushnell.

I recommend going to Costa Rica. Direct flight from Orlando.

Village Periodontics and Dental Implant Center located on Oxford, 352-259-6799. Nice facility. Dr Cramer performed two oral surgeries on me and experience was great. I did not need an implant but the practice has an implant center that you might want to consider. I believe they have an implant education center to help you understand the process. Dental work is not where ever you go but good dental is the goal.

Thank you all so much, you hqve been very helpful. Much appreciated!

Great recommendation. You'll save enough money to pay for a nice trip to Costa Rica and enough money to go back again, another time.


Generally rated #1 or #2 for overseas Dental Work. I'm happy to give you some recommendations of who to see there, if you're interested.

Dental Implants
 

Don't be shy about asking your dentist which brand of dental implant he/she will be placing in your mouth. There are dozens of companies that make dental implants, and some of them are cr@p, which can affect the long-term success of your implant. Take it from someone who learned this the hard way. Two of the better companies that produce a quality implant are Nobel Biocare and Straumann. Do your research. Good luck to you.

My husband used Prime Dentistry----Dr. Dhiren Agrawal located on 466 in Santa Fe strip mall (352-674-9077). He has very modern equipment and uses 3-D to help create the implants. You can get a free consultation with him. They fit perfect and never had one problem.

Sure, I'm open to other options. Thank you.

I had all my top taken out by Dr. Jafal (oral surgeon) and 5 implants (in case one failed). My dentist, Dr. Jaber) made the denture to fit on posts.

Happy with result but very expensive. And, I still wish I had my own teeth….nothing like them.

Make sure that you understand what "All on 4" is. It is like wearing dentures. They are held in place by snaps that are implanted and removable - no dental adhesives.

The alternative is to replace certain teeth. Yes, it's more expensive. I had several teeth implanted and I went to Costa Rica to have it done. Most of the dentists are U.S. trained, the facilities are very clean - no chickens running around and half the price of doing it here. In addition, transportation and up to $100 a day for hotel and food are tax deductible as a medical expense.

Medical tourism is very important to the Costa Rican economy. Generally, U.S. insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures like face lifts and dental policies usually limit you to free cleanings and discounts on fillings, etc.

Do you have a trustworthy dentist where you moved from? many of the dentists here tack on alot of unecessary treatments that will jack up the cost of any procedures. Be carefull and get a couple of estimates before you decide who you will use. Good Luck!

. If you are using an Oral Surgeon for the Implants & your General Dentist for the restorative phase be sure that your Dentist is prepared to work with the brand of Implants that were placed. Best wishes to you. 🦷

I had 4 implants done for a snap in denture by Dr Jad Jaffal in Laurel Manor. I thought he was an excellent, caring Dr. and would highly recommend him.

Dr. Reddy on 466. Excellent!

Can you give me a doctors name or contact information in Costa Rica? Thank you.

Thank you for all the recommendations. I can now continue my research on these doctors and facilities. It helps to narrow things down a bit, as I see implant adds all over the place! Lol

Magnolia dental two miles passed Village Hospital going toward Ocala

Dr. Margaret Feldman, oral surgeon Orlando Health in Orlando. She is currently doing implants for hubby who is a cancer survivor. Waiting for jaw bone to heal and secure the pins. Should have teeth by September All on 4. So far so good! Good luck!

I used Dr. Ronald Trevisani, twice. He is very good. He is near Sam's Club and Home Depot on 441.

Could you please give me some names & numbers for implants. Thanks

Some of the more credible & professional in Costa Rica, in my opinion, are:

Dr. Prada
Dr. Meza
Dr. Flikier
Dr. Obando

I've met with all of them and been to their offices. I started to have some work done with Prada, but before he could complete his work, Covid hit and I was forced to have the work done locally.

All 4 of the Dentists above were professional, reasonable and reviews seem to confirm their competency.. Dr Anglada is highly rated, but I didn't like the brand of implants he uses (I think they're called Shutz). At least from my research, I think Noble or Straumann make the best implants.

Just Google Costa Rica Dental work and you'll come up with contact information for all of them.

Yes, ask for Kristal office manager, she is great! and will go over everything you need to know up front!.

Thank you so much, you have all been so helpful!!

Where would I go if I consider Costa Rica ?

Read the entire thread, especially post 26

We use Dr. Morcos at Elite Dental (352) 670-4777. He does surgery and implants (as well as other dentistry), extremely talented and reasonable prices. We got many recommendations for him and we are very happy!

Village Periodonics. Dr. Dennis B. Davis. He started the practice. My husband and I have been under his care for 11 years. He is excellent.
