Dental Implants
Single, multiple and full-arch titanium implants — from $900.
Titanium implants that replace a missing tooth root and crown — from $900 vs $4,000 in the US. Two trips about three months apart, using the same Straumann/Nobel systems as at home.
Dental implants are the flagship reason people fly to Medellin: a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, topped with a crown that looks and works like the real thing. At about $900 versus $4,000 in the US, a full-mouth restoration that would be out of reach at home becomes affordable here — with the same implant brands and the same standards.
What’s involved
The post is placed under local anesthetic in a single appointment, then the bone heals around it (osseointegration) over roughly three months before the permanent crown goes on. Vetted clinics use Straumann or Nobel Biocare systems and plan the placement digitally, so the fit is precise.
Cost and how long
Expect from $900 per single implant, all-in. Timing is two trips — 3–4 days to place, then back in ~3 months for the crown — or a single longer stay if the clinic offers same-day loading. Ask about the implant brand and the warranty before you book.
