If you are missing one or more teeth and wish to eat your favorite foods, increase your chewing ability, and improve your appearance, speech, and self-esteem, then you are a candidate for dental implants.
Short Bicon Implants can offer you the smile you have lost, or the smile you have always wanted. You may no longer be embarrassed in conversation or while smiling and laughing. Bicon implants eliminate the need for cutting down two healthy natural teeth to replace one missing tooth.

3 Reasons to use
Short Bicon Dental Implants
Short Bicon Dental Implants can lower treatment costs by reducing or eliminating the need for surgical bone augmentation procedures (Bone Grafting).
Short Implants can reduce dental appointments and overall treatment time since bone augmentation procedures typically require 6-9 months of healing before beginning implant treatment.
Bicon Short Implants are scientifically explained and clinically proven to provide a reliable and long-term solution. Unlike other short implants, Bicon Short Implants have stood the test of time. They have been in continuous clinical use since 1985 — over three decades. Bicon Short Implants can often be placed in areas where longer implants cannot be placed at all, due to minimal bone height.

D.D.S. M.S. A.E.G.D. Irma Gavaldon is graduated from two of the top Dental Schools in North America: UNAM (Mexico’s most recognized college), and the University of Michigan, where she received her A.E.G.D. (Advanced Education in General Dentistry) in a two-year program, plus her Master’s Degree in Restorative Dentistry.

To diagnose, plan and execute your dental implants treatment accurately and in shorter times, our dental clinic has the following equipment: 3D CBCT Extra-oral panoramic X-Ray machine (a Carestream CS 9200 3D Machine), Intra-oral scanners, NAVIDENT, surgical guides, and our own full-equipped CAD/CAM laboratory.

Bicon’s unique plateau design follows sound bioengineering principles which allow for the use of Short Implants. Its unique bacterial sealed, locking taper, implant to abutment connection provides for 360˚ of universal abutment positioning — offering restorative flexibility unmatched by other implant systems.
The sloping shoulder of the Bicon implant consistently provides for gingivally aesthetic restorations. These restorations are easily achieved because the bone that is maintained over the shoulder of the implant provides support for the interdental papillae.

before coming to Cancun Pre Ops
history 3 weeks before surgery
Smoking and Dental Implants don’t go together. Why did you lose your teeth/tooth in the first place? We know smoking can be difficult to quit but we insist that patients stop smoking at least 3 weeks prior to their Dental Implants. In rare cases, we might ask you to quit sooner. Smoking can interfere with healing by constricting and decreasing blood flow all over the body which may prevent the wound from healing properly. Do not resume smoking after surgery until you are given permission by our dental surgeon.
history 3 weeks before surgery
We know you will be on vacation and the all-inclusive bar might be tempting. Please try and stay away from alcohol consumption for a minimum of 5 days prior to your procedure. Alcohol causes increased bleeding, increases the chances of infection, depresses immune functions and may interfere with wound healing.
history 3 weeks before surgery
(over-the-counter and prescribed)
Please check with your Physician about suspending any medication prior to arrival.
You will be instructed by our surgeon or patient counselor to temporarily discontinue certain medications in the weeks ahead.
history 3 weeks before surgery
It is important that you maintain a healthy diet. You will be on a soft mechanical diet or some form of a modified diet tailored to your surgery. It is important that you follow these instructions! It is a good idea to stock up on protein supplements like BOOST or Ensure. Various softer foods like well-cooked pasta, eggs, soup/broths, and yogurt are also good ideas. We will provide you with a list of dietary suggestions in your post-op packet as well.
history 2 weeks before surgery

history 2 weeks before surgery
- Take a multivitamin tablet daily. Most multivitamins contain some form of vitamin E, however, this is acceptable to take prior to surgery. We do ask that you refrain from taking additional vitamin E.
- Take Vitamin A – 8,000-10,000 units, twice a day. This has well-documented beneficial effects on surgical healing and will also fuel your immune system.
- Take Vitamin C – 1,000 mg., twice a day. This is essential for collagen synthesis, which is part of normal wound healing. Your need for Vitamin C will increase after surgery.
- Take Pineapple enzyme (from a health food store), twice a day, this helps to relieve the swelling associated with surgery. This anti-inflammatory promotes healing.
history 1 week before until 2 weeks after surgery
- Eat healthy, regular meals.
- Eat 2 fruits and 3 green vegetables daily (per diet instructions).
- Eat a small amount of protein at each meal.
history 1 week before surgery

Post Op Instructions
Standards of good oral hygiene are critical for the success and functionality of the implants and restoration. The best way to prevent infection and ensure healing is to keep your mouth clean. Clean your mouth thoroughly after each meal beginning the day after surgery. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and toothpaste after meals and at bedtime. Use of a dental Waterpik is highly recommended to irrigate underneath the denture to flush out debris.
Minimal bleeding is expected after this implant procedure. The best way to stop bleeding is to place a damp piece of gauze in the mouth and gently bite for 30 minutes. Rest quietly with your head elevated. If bleeding continues, use gauze for an additional 30 minutes. Pink or blood-tinged saliva may be seen for 2-3 days following the surgery and does not indicate a problem. The suture material may last 2 to 3 weeks and should be left alone. Do not pull or cut the sutures yourself.
Swelling is the body’s normal reaction to surgery and healing. The swelling will not become apparent until 24 hours after surgery and will not reach its peak for 2-3 days. After this time, the swelling should decrease but may persist for 7-10 days. Swelling may be minimized by the immediate use of ice packs. Apply the ice packs to the outside of the face 20 minutes on and then 20 minutes off while awake for the first 24 hours.
Unfortunately, most oral surgery is accompanied by some degree of discomfort. If you do not have an allergy to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications we recommend taking this prior to the local anesthetic wearing off. More severe pain may require narcotic pain medication. Narcotic pain medication will make you drowsy, do not drive or operate mechanical machinery while taking the prescription. You may also be prescribed an antibacterial mouth rinse which should be used twice daily in the first two weeks following implant surgery. Post-operative antibiotics should be taken as directed and always take the entire course of the prescription. All medications should not exceed the recommended dosage.
After General anesthetic or I.V. sedation, start with liquids. While numb, patients should avoid hot liquids or foods. Your food intake will be limited for the first few days, compensate for this by increasing your fluid intake. We recommend high protein shakes/smoothies (Ensure, Special K, etc.) as meal replacement supplements. Patients are restricted to a SOFT CHEW diet for the first 6 weeks… if food cannot be easily cut with a fork… DO NOT eat it!
history 48 hours after surgery

- If the corners of your mouth are stretched, they may dry and crack. Your lips should be kept moist with an ointment such as Vaseline.
- Sore throats and pain when swallowing are not uncommon. The muscles get swollen and the normal act of swallowing can become painful. This will subside in 2 to 3 days.
- Stiffness of the jaw muscles may cause difficulty in opening your mouth for a few days. Do not force your mouth open. Massage the muscles and apply moist heat.
- With upper jaw implant treatment, you may develop bleeding from the nose. This is usually a temporary finding and will not persist past 2 to 3 days. Avoid blowing your nose for several days.
- An appointment with your general dentist may be needed within a few days of surgery to make any adjustments to your temporary denture.
- Your case is individual as no two mouths are alike. Discuss all questions or concerns with your oral surgeon or implant coordinator.

Bicon Dental Implants FAQs
We ask for a minimum of 5-7 days but the more time you can give us the better (for complicated cases including extractions, Full Mouth cases, or upper and/or lower Dentures needed 7 days minimum).
The actual implant process is done in 1 day, but we like to have a few extra days so that we can check on your progress before you go home. We like to factor in a small margin of error in case you need your denture adjusted or to fix a loose stitch, whatever the case may be.
We are not the type of clinic to get you in and out of the door as soon as possible, The doctors want to make sure that you healing correctly before you return home.
This is called immediate load and it is possible for people who are candidates. You must have very good bone quality but even then, we cannot tell if you are eligible for an immediate load until the actual surgery.
If it is possible and this is what you want then we will do so, but if the risk of failure is too high we will not risk it. We want the best outcome for your case.
Yes, the implant needs time to integrate with the bone before we can rehabilitate it. This usually takes about 4-6 months.

Yes, this is possible, but it would depend on your remaining bone structure after extraction. In a lot of cases, we will place the bone graft and implant after extracting the tooth.

We use good quality material, so unlike some other clinics, we cannot slash our prices.
What we can do is offer you a 10% discount on cash payments and a 5% discount on payments via Wiretransfer.
