If you are deciding where to schedule a dental implant consultation, Clínica DrDiente Polanco offers evaluations at Av. Presidente Masaryk 83, Polanco V Secc., Miguel Hidalgo, CDMX. A consultation is not a promise that an implant is right for you; it is the appointment where the cause of tooth loss, your bone, gums, bite, and health history are reviewed before making a treatment decision.
What does a dental implant consultation at Clínica DrDiente include?
The published Polanco consultation fee is $2,125 MXN and includes a 3D tomography scan, diagnosis, and treatment plan; the amount is applied toward treatment if you proceed. Confirm current availability, the treating professional, and the studies included before paying or scheduling.
In simple terms, an implant is usually a titanium support placed in the jawbone to hold a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis. The appointment should identify why the tooth was lost, whether infection or gum disease must be treated first, and whether preserving the remaining tooth is still possible.
How much do dental implants cost in CDMX? — 2026 pricing
There is no responsible single price for a dental implant without a diagnosis. The final cost depends on the number of missing teeth, the type of restoration, bone volume, gum health, whether an extraction is needed, and whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is indicated. Ask for a written, itemized estimate that separates surgery, implant, abutment, crown or prosthesis, imaging, provisional work, maintenance, and possible grafting.
The confirmed published figure for the initial Polanco evaluation is $2,125 MXN, applied toward treatment if treatment begins. For honesty, do not choose a clinic based only on the price of the implant fixture. What matters is the complete treatment plan, its phases, expected maintenance, and the clinical reasons behind each recommendation. Later, this becomes especially relevant if someone offers “teeth in one day.”
How do I know whether I am an ideal candidate?
The short answer is: it depends on the condition of your mouth and general health. A suitable candidate may have lost a tooth because of a non-restorable cavity, fracture, trauma, advanced gum disease, or failure of a previously treated tooth. But the cause matters because it can affect infection control, bone quality, and long-term maintenance.
A proper evaluation reviews:
- Bone volume and the location of the sinus or mandibular nerve on a 3D scan.
- Gum health, plaque control, smoking, grinding, and bite forces.
- Medical factors, including diabetes control when applicable.
- Whether a tooth can be conservatively treated instead of extracted.
What happens if there is active gum disease? It should be addressed before implant surgery. Placing an implant into an unhealthy environment is like repairing a wall while the leak behind it is still running. The surface may look finished, but the underlying problem remains. Active smoking, advanced periodontitis, poor hygiene, and uncontrolled blood sugar can increase biological risks and deserve an open conversation during consultation.
There is another point that people do not always hear at the first appointment: a 3D tomography scan does not automatically mean someone qualifies for immediate placement or immediate loading. Those options may be considered only when bone conditions, infection control, and initial implant stability are appropriate. No single answer fits everyone.
Step-by-step process at DrDiente
The process starts with records and diagnosis, not surgery. At Clínica DrDiente Polanco, ask how the intraoral scan, 3D tomography, clinical examination, photographs, and digital planning will be used to build your plan. Advanced technology can improve visualization and planning, but it does not replace a careful clinical assessment.
- Consultation and imaging: review symptoms, medical history, gums, bite, hygiene, and 3D anatomy.
- Written options: compare an implant with conservative alternatives, a bridge, or other appropriate restorations.
- Preparation: treat infection, periodontal disease, decay, or bone deficiencies when indicated.
- Placement and restoration: the implant and final tooth are completed in phases according to healing and stability.
Does implant treatment hurt? During surgery, anesthesia is used. Afterwards, temporary discomfort and swelling can happen. Contact the treating team promptly for persistent bleeding, fever, worsening pain, discharge, implant mobility, or altered sensation. In practice, clear post-operative instructions and accessible follow-up matter as much as the surgical appointment itself.
How long does it take? It depends on healing, the need for grafting, infection control, and the type of prosthesis. A single-tooth implant and a full-arch rehabilitation are not the same process. Ask your clinician to state the expected timeline in writing, including the time for any provisional restoration and the final crown or prosthesis.
Questions patients often ask before booking
Where can I schedule a dental implant consultation in Polanco?
You can schedule at Clínica DrDiente Polanco, Av. Presidente Masaryk 83, Polanco V Secc., Miguel Hidalgo, CDMX. Use the Polanco contact page to request an appointment and confirm availability, the consultation fee, and included studies.
Is it normal to feel nervous about implant surgery?
Yes. Many people worry about pain, healing, or the idea of surgery. Ask the clinician to explain the stages in plain language, what anesthesia is planned, what symptoms are expected, and which signs require a call. Knowing the plan usually makes the decision less intimidating.
Is a dental implant worth it?
It depends on your diagnosis, priorities, budget, and ability to maintain the result. An implant may replace one tooth, support a bridge, retain a removable denture, or be part of a full-arch option such as a fixed All-on-4 prosthesis. It is worth discussing alternatives instead of assuming the most extensive treatment is automatically the best one.
How long can an implant last?
Research supports favorable long-term survival, but there is no lifetime guarantee for an individual implant. A 25-year prospective cohort reported implant survival of 98.8% at 10 years and 94.0% at 25 years, while peri-implantitis increased over follow-up. These figures describe a study population, not a personal prediction. Hygiene, periodontal care, smoking status, bite forces, and regular reviews affect outcomes. Read the cohort study.
What happens if I have diabetes or smoke?
Bring a recent HbA1c result if you have diabetes and discuss smoking honestly. Recent cohort evidence associates poorer glycemic control with higher risks of failure and peri-implantitis, while active smoking and advanced periodontitis have also been associated with greater risk. This is not a diagnosis; it is a reason to plan carefully and reduce modifiable risks. Review the diabetes cohort and the peri-implantitis cohort.
Can I get a guarantee?
Ask what the clinic puts in writing, including the scope of any warranty, exclusions, maintenance requirements, laboratory work, and what happens if a complication occurs. Ethical dentistry does not promise a risk-free result. It explains risks, documents consent, and creates a maintenance plan you can follow in CDMX.
Why patients across CDMX choose DrDiente
A decision about implants should be based on transparent diagnosis, documented planning, and clear follow-up—not a promotion alone. Clínica DrDiente provides care in Polanco, CDMX, with services that include dental implants, smile design, and invisible orthodontics. Patients considering dental tourism CDMX should also request a written schedule that accounts for healing, follow-up, and the practical need for maintenance after returning home.
Before committing, ask to verify the treating professional’s license and any stated specialty through Mexico’s National Registry of Professionals. Request informed consent, an invoice, implant and prosthesis traceability, and a treatment plan that identifies the diagnosis by tooth or arch. That is the key: understanding not only what is proposed, but why.
The earlier question about immediate teeth now has a clearer answer. Immediate loading may be appropriate in selected situations, but it is not the default. A five-year randomized trial found comparable implant survival for immediate and early loading in full-maxillary rehabilitation, with more mechanical complications and greater buccal marginal bone loss in the immediate-loading group. It is a clinical decision, not a marketing label. Read the clinical trial.
