Dental Implantology
Specialists use Straumann implant systems to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. These titanium roots are surgically placed into the jawbone. They support crowns, bridges, or dentures. The clinic focuses on osseointegration – a process where the metal integrates with natural bone for stability.
For patients with total tooth loss, the All-on-4 procedure is available. This technique uses four implants to support a full fixed bridge across the entire arch. It serves as a permanent alternative to traditional removable dentures.
When the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone for implants, surgeons perform sinus lift procedures. This surgery adds bone to the molar and premolar areas near the maxillary sinuses. It creates the foundation needed to support dental implants safely.
Cosmetic and Restorative Procedures
Restorative treatments use biocompatible ceramic materials for durability and aesthetics. The dental team provides these restorative options:
- Zirconia crowns made from zirconium dioxide for high strength and longevity
- Emax crowns crafted from lithium disilicate for a lifelike appearance on front teeth
- Smile makeovers that adjust tooth color, shape, size, and alignment
- Root canal therapy to save infected teeth by removing damaged pulp tissue
The clinic also provides deep cleaning services, such as scaling and root planing. These procedures treat gum disease by removing tartar from below the gumline.
Dental Technology
The clinic uses the Shining Elite intraoral scanner for digital diagnostics. This tool combines 3D scanning with photogrammetry to create precise models of the dental arches. Digital imaging replaces traditional physical molds, so patients experience more comfort during planning.
High-precision scanning allows for personalized treatment planning in both single-crown and complex All-on-4 cases. 3D imaging helps the dental team predict functional and aesthetic outcomes before surgery begins. These digital tools also reduce time in the treatment chair.

Ivan Implant and Cosmetic Dental primarily serves international travelers from North America and Oceania. Online consultations are available to discuss treatment plans before patients travel to Los Algodones.
