Dr. Daniel Argüelles Rosel, periodontist and implant surgeon in San Luis Potosí

What Dr. Argüelles treats

  • All-on-X full-arch implants: a fixed set of teeth on about six implants per arch, for people who have lost, or are about to lose, all their teeth.
  • Dental implants: a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, topped with a crown.
  • Bone grafting and sinus lifts, when the bone needs to be rebuilt before or during implant surgery.
  • Gum disease (periodontitis), treated before implants or new teeth so the infection doesn't affect them.

How treatment works

  1. Remote evaluation. Send your X-rays or photos and talk with the doctor by video.
  2. First stay, about a week. Records at the ECCO radiology center in San Luis Potosí (cone-beam CT, intraoral scan and panoramic X-ray), guided implant surgery and provisional teeth before you fly home.
  3. Second stay, about a week. After healing, the final teeth with Dr. José Miguel Guerra Silva.

Every surgery carries risks, and the number of implants and any grafting depend on your CT scan. That's why the plan is confirmed in person before treatment.

Technology

  • 3D planning: each implant is planned on a cone-beam CT scan before surgery.
  • Surgical guide: included in every All-on-X surgery, so the implants go where they were planned.
  • Dental laser: depending on the case, it can help reduce bleeding and swelling and make recovery more comfortable.

Questions and answers

Is the remote evaluation a diagnosis?

No. Reviewing your X-rays and talking by video is a first orientation. The diagnosis and the final plan are confirmed in person, with a CT scan, before any treatment.

How many trips does All-on-X take?

Usually two stays of about a week each, several months apart: the first for the evaluation, surgery and provisional teeth, the second for the final teeth.

Who makes the final teeth?

Dr. José Miguel Guerra Silva, who holds a master's degree in restorative dentistry, designs the teeth before surgery and delivers the final bridge.
