NEW SERVICE AT OG CENTER · COSTA RICA
Zirconia Dental Implants in Costa Rica
Discover Neodent Zi, a metal-free ceramic option for your smile.
OG Center now offers Neodent Zi ceramic implants in Curridabat, San José. If you need to replace a tooth and would like to explore a ceramic option, our team can help you understand the evaluation, restoration and follow-up involved in your treatment.
What are Neodent Zi ceramic implants?
Neodent, a Straumann Group brand, describes Zi as a metal-free ceramic implant system. It has a two-piece design with a ZiLock connection between the implant and abutment. The manufacturer’s manual describes its use to support single-unit restorations.
Zirconia is a zirconium oxide ceramic. In this treatment, the implant replacing the tooth root is ceramic. A zirconia crown placed on a titanium implant uses a different combination of materials.
Read the official Neodent Zi product information and the manufacturer’s manual in English.
A new option to discuss during your consultation
Tell us about your interest in ceramic materials and your priorities for treatment. We explain the proposed implant, its components, the crown and the alternatives appropriate for your case.
Could a zirconia implant be right for you?
Your evaluation comes first. The team reviews the tooth to be replaced, available bone, surrounding tissues, bite and health history. Your habits and the care the restoration will need also form part of the discussion.
Bring your previous dental studies and a medication list. Let the team know about any history of allergies or reactions to materials so these can be evaluated individually. A preference for ceramic materials does not replace that assessment.
Meet Dr. Oscar Guzmán and ask which implant system and restoration are proposed for your particular situation.
Digital planning and our in-house dental laboratory
OG Center is in Curridabat, San José, Costa Rica. We use Sirona tomography, Primescan intraoral scanning and Exocad digital design according to the needs of each case. Our in-house dental laboratory supports coordination of the restoration.
Your plan explains the roles of the implant, abutment and crown, the professionals involved and the follow-up appointments. We organize these steps around your diagnosis and treatment goals.
Treatment stages
- Evaluation and studies: review your health, oral tissues and treatment options.
- Plan and estimate: identify the system, components and proposed restoration.
- Implant placement: receive the procedure and care instructions from your clinician.
- Restoration and reviews: monitor healing and prepare the crown according to your progress.
- Maintenance: continue home care and professional reviews.
Early placement of a temporary restoration is assessed individually. Healing time and delivery of the final crown must be confirmed in your plan. See the Neodent Zi patient guide.
How much do zirconia dental implants cost in Costa Rica?
OG Center prepares a Neodent Zi estimate after your evaluation. Ask for a written breakdown of diagnostic studies, implant, components, crown, follow-up and any additional procedures.
Prices for other implant systems or full-arch treatments do not automatically apply to this service. Request your individual estimate and ask about payment terms for your proposed plan.
Planning a visit from the United States or Canada
Before booking travel, confirm the proposed treatment, appointment dates, time in Costa Rica, possible return visits and follow-up arrangements. Include transportation and accommodation in your budget. Our dental tourism information can help you prepare questions for the team.
Frequently asked questions
Are zirconia implants the same as zirconia crowns?
The crown replaces the visible part of a tooth. The implant replaces the root. Ask which material is proposed for each component. You can also read about our single-tooth implant treatments.
Does this service include All-on-4 or All-on-6?
This page describes Neodent Zi for single-unit restorations. For an entire arch, explore All-on-4 and All-on-6. Those plans define the implant system and restoration materials separately.
Do ceramic implants need ongoing care?
Yes. Cleaning and professional follow-up remain necessary. Complications can include infection, healing problems or issues with the implant or restoration. Your team explains the benefits, risks and care relevant to you. Read the FDA’s patient information on dental implants.
Can I receive a treatment plan before traveling?
Contact the team to discuss the evaluation process and how to share existing studies. Confirm what can be assessed remotely and what requires an in-person examination before committing to travel.
