Implants
Replace one or more missing teeth permanently — exclusively with Straumann, the Swiss world leader.
A dental implant replaces both the root and the crown of a missing tooth. Unlike a bridge, it doesn't require grinding down healthy neighbor teeth. Unlike a removable denture, it stays in place permanently.
The procedure is two phases. Phase one (surgical): the titanium implant body is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The visit takes 60–90 minutes for a single implant. Phase two (restorative): after 3–6 months of bone healing (osseointegration), we attach the abutment and the porcelain crown. From your perspective: two trips across the border, total chair time around 3 hours.
Dr. Inzunza has placed more than 8,000 individual implants since 2009. The success rate at our clinic is 98–99% — equivalent to top US implantology programs. Every implant is documented with pre-op CBCT 3D imaging and post-op X-rays you take home with you.
A single Straumann implant at Dental Inzunza is $1,100 USD — including abutment, CBCT 3D planning and surgery. Add a porcelain or zirconia crown ($300–$500) for the complete tooth. The same Straumann implant + crown runs $3,500–$5,500 in the US.
We place Straumann implants exclusively — the Swiss system that is the most scientifically documented in the world (in clinical use since 1974, 10-year survival above 98% in published studies). Its SLActive® surface accelerates osseointegration, and its Roxolid® titanium-zirconium alloy is stronger than conventional titanium. Every implant arrives in its sealed box with a serial-numbered implant passport, carries the original Straumann warranty, and can be serviced by any dentist in the US or worldwide. Crowns in porcelain-fused-to-metal, full porcelain, or zirconia. We show you the brand before you pay; nothing is generic.
Two trips: one for surgical placement (60–90 min), then 3–6 months of bone healing at home, then a second trip for the crown (60 min). Total active chair time: ~3 hours across both visits.
Local anesthesia means no pain during placement. Mild soreness for 2–3 days afterward, controlled with ibuprofen. Most patients drive back to Yuma the same day.
Yes. Every implant comes in its sealed manufacturer box and you keep the implant passport (serial number + brand) — same documentation any US clinic provides.
For specific cases (good bone quality, immediate-load candidates) we offer same-day temporary crowns. Permanent crown still waits for healing. See our Same-Day Dentistry page.
Bone grafting is done in the same surgical visit. Adds about $400–$800. For severe maxillary atrophy we offer Zygomatic Implants (no graft needed).
Lifetime warranty against implant body failure (we replace the implant free). Crown 5-year warranty against material failure. Documented in writing on your treatment plan.
Most PPO plans reimburse 50–70% of the procedure when you submit the treatment-plan invoice. We provide all the documentation in the format US insurers accept.
