Full mouth restoration

Full mouth dental implants in Cali, Colombia

A full mouth restoration replaces all the teeth of both arches with teeth fixed on implants, so they stay in place when you eat and speak. At GR Dents the implants are placed by Dra. Catalina Rodríguez Hernández, periodontist, and the final teeth are designed with Dr. Juan Felipe Guerrero Bugallo.

Send us your photos or a panoramic X-ray and we reply with a treatment plan and its price. Free calls in English before you book.

Full mouth restoration

What does a full mouth restoration with implants involve?

A full mouth restoration with implants replaces all the teeth of the upper and lower arches with teeth that are fixed on implants, so they do not come out and you can eat and speak normally.

    For people who have lost most or all of their teeth

    Or whose teeth are too damaged to save.

  • Dental bridge icon

    Every case is a combination

    Some patients need a fixed bridge on four implants per arch, others need individual implants, and some need extractions or bone grafting first.

The implant system we use: Neodent

We place Neodent implants, a brand of the Straumann Group. Which system a clinic uses is worth asking about anywhere you go, because the implant is the part you keep: the connection and the prosthetic range decide what can be built on top of it years later, and a system nobody stocks is a problem the day something needs replacing.

  • Grand Morse connection.A 16 degree deep Morse taper with platform switching and internal indexing. The manufacturer designs it to give a stable interface between the implant and the prosthetic part and to distribute load along it.
  • Acqua surface.Certain Neodent implants carry Acqua, a hydrophilic titanium surface the manufacturer designs to interact with biological fluids, including in low density bone and post-extraction sites.
  • One prosthetic system, single teeth to full arches.The same connection carries single crowns and full-arch work, in conventional and digital workflows, which is what lets a case grow without starting over.
  • Several implant designs.The system has different bodies for different anatomy and bone quality, so the choice is made for your case rather than for what is in the drawer.

* Those are the manufacturer's design intentions, not a promise about your case. What an implant does in your mouth depends on your bone, your gums, the surgery and the maintenance that follows, and that is what the plan we send you is about.

Travel and stay

The trip around a full mouth case

A full mouth case is the biggest treatment we plan, and it deserves the most care around the trip. On both visits airport pick-up and drop-off with our driver is included, and we can arrange the hotel with breakfast and the rides to the clinic on treatment days. Flights are not included.

The hotel is quoted separately: the all-inclusive package, with the hotel and a guided tour of Cali, is part of the porcelain veneers package. Tell us what you want included and we put the numbers in your quote.

  • Hotel iconHotel + breakfast
  • Transport iconAirport pick-up and drop-off
  • City tour iconSightseeing tour (veneers package)

* Every package includes airport pick-up and drop-off with our driver. Flights are not included. The porcelain veneers package also includes the hotel and a guided tour of Cali; for any other treatment we quote the hotel separately.

What the treatment looks like, trip by trip

Two trips is the usual plan: extractions, grafts and implants on the first one, the definitive teeth on the second.

  1. Before you travel

    Free quote and calls in English

    Send us your photos or a recent X-ray. We review your case and reply with a treatment plan and its price, and you can schedule free calls with our team until every question is answered. A $500 USD deposit books your treatment dates and, if your package includes it, your hotel.

  2. Trip 1

    Extractions, grafts and implant surgery

    Examination and X-rays at the clinic, the final plan for both arches, extraction of teeth that cannot be saved, bone grafts where they are needed and the implant surgery. When your case allows it, provisional teeth are fitted so you do not fly home without them. We confirm the number of days for your case when we send your plan.

  3. At home

    Healing

    The bone integrates around the implants while you are back home. We stay in touch by email or WhatsApp and confirm the timing for your case in your plan.

  4. Trip 2

    Definitive teeth and final check

    The definitive bridges or crowns are made, fitted and adjusted for both arches, with a final check before you travel back. We confirm the number of days for this trip in your plan.

How we plan both arches

What a full mouth restoration can combine

Every mouth is different, so the plan is a combination: a fixed bridge on four or more implants in one arch, individual implants with crowns where there is enough bone, extractions of teeth that cannot be saved, and bone grafts where they are needed. Some patients keep healthy teeth and replace only what is missing; others replace everything. The X-ray decides, and we explain each part of the plan and why it is there.

How long the whole process takes

Most full mouth cases take two trips a few months apart: the extractions, grafts and implants on the first one, the definitive teeth on the second, once the implants have healed. Your plan states the number of days for each trip and the months between them, so you can arrange time off and flights before you pay the deposit.

Fixed teeth or removable denture?

Teeth fixed on implants stay in your mouth; only the dentist removes them. An implant-supported denture snaps onto the implants and comes out for cleaning. The two differ in cost and in daily care. Your plan explains the option we recommend for your case and why.

What to send us for your quote

Photos of your smile and of both arches with your mouth open, a recent panoramic X-ray if you have one, and a note about what bothers you most: pain, loose teeth, a denture that moves. Tell us when you would like to travel. Dra. Catalina confirms the plan at your first appointment, with the X-rays taken at the clinic.

What a full mouth costs

Full mouth means both jaws, and both are priced per arch. We put the two together, with anything your case needs before them, in the plan we send you.

All-on-4, per archFinal prosthesis included; both jaws is two of these (both arches from $24,000)

What affects the price of a full mouth restoration

Every full mouth case is quoted individually. When you send your photos and X-ray, this is what decides the price:

  • How many implants each arch needs, and whether a bridge or single crowns go on them
  • Extractions, bone grafts or a sinus lift before the implants
  • The material of the provisional and the definitive teeth
  • What you want included in the package: hotel, rides to the clinic

* Package prices depend on each patient and their specific needs. The plan we send is based on your photos and X-ray; Dra. Catalina confirms it at your first appointment.

The trip, taken care of

Welcome to Cali, the salsa capital of Colombia and a three-hour flight from Miami. A full mouth case brings you here twice, and both times airport pick-up and drop-off is included and we can arrange the hotel and the rides to the clinic. The guided tour of the city comes with the porcelain veneers package.

The warranty, and what it asks of you

Implants carry a warranty of more than 10 years. A crown on an implant carries one year. Both cover the dental work itself, and both come with conditions worth reading before you travel, not after.

The implant warranty (more than 10 years) is Neodent's, the manufacturer, and we handle the claim for you.

What it covers, and what it does not

The warranty covers the dental procedure. It does not cover travel: if you have to come back to Cali for warranty work, the flights, the hotel, the food and everything else about the trip are yours. Every claim is assessed clinically, case by case, against the conditions below.

How to make a claim

Only through our official WhatsApp line. We reply within 24 hours, and the dentist or team on your case assesses it. If it is covered, procedures, materials and lab costs are at no cost to you. If it is not, you pay, and we tell you the price first. Travel back to Cali is yours.

What it asks of you

That you follow the instructions, care, check-ups and recommendations your treating dentist gives you. For implants specifically, the warranty does not apply when the loss or complication traces back to something on the patient's side: poor oral hygiene, missed maintenance check-ups, uncontrolled gum or peri-implant disease, smoking, trauma, parafunctional habits or bruxism without the night guard you were told to wear, functional overload, or not following professional advice.

Hygiene and periodontal check-ups at least twice a year, with us or with your dentist in the US. If something changes, send clinical photos, X-rays and, if possible, your dentist's report. A night guard is strongly recommended for ceramic restorations, especially if you grind or clench your teeth; if it is not made in Cali, make it with your dentist at home and wear it as directed, especially while you sleep.

None of that is fine print to catch you out. An implant is a surgical result that has to be maintained, and the conditions name the things that actually make one fail. If you live outside Colombia, ask us in your plan how the maintenance check-ups work from where you are: it is the condition a travelling patient breaks most easily.

Full mouth dental implants abroad: questions patients ask us

How much do full mouth dental implants cost in Colombia at GR Dents?

Every case is quoted individually. Send us your photos or a recent X-ray and we reply with a treatment plan and its price, with everything the package includes spelled out.

Full mouth implants or All-on-4: what is the difference?

All-on-4 replaces one arch with a bridge on four implants; a full mouth restoration covers both arches and can combine bridges, individual implants, extractions and grafts. Dra. Catalina Rodríguez Hernández reviews your case and recommends the combination that fits it.

How many trips does a full mouth case take?

Most full mouth cases take two trips a few months apart. We confirm the number of days for your case when we send your plan.

Can extractions, grafts and implants be done in the same trip?

Often yes: extractions, grafts and implants can be planned for the same trip when your case allows it. We confirm what can be done in one trip when we review your case.

Can I keep some of my own teeth?

Yes, when they are healthy. A full mouth restoration does not mean every tooth is replaced: teeth that can be saved stay, and implants replace only what is missing or cannot be kept. Dra. Catalina tells you tooth by tooth in your plan.

How do I book, and is a deposit required?

First, get your free online quote: our team reviews your case and sends a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate. When you are ready to move forward, a non-refundable $500 USD deposit books your treatment dates at the clinic and, if your package includes it, your hotel reservation.

Will my US dental insurance cover full mouth implants in Colombia?

We do not work directly with US insurance companies; you pay GR Dents directly for your treatment. If your plan offers out-of-network benefits for restorative procedures, we provide an itemized receipt and the documentation you need to request reimbursement. Check with your provider before you travel.

How can I pay for the treatment?

Full payment is due at the clinic in Cali when treatment is provided. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express, wire transfers, PayPal, Zelle and cash. We do not offer in-house payment plans or third-party financing.
