I felt only a little discomfort on my gumsAj, US, 28 10 25I have been researching dental implants for quite some time now. I was looking for price affordability, quality of materials, expertise and the risk of doing a full mouth implant for myself. This is to replace my partial denture and several loose teeth, which are very uncomfortable as of late. I looked into local oral surgery offices in and around Houston, Texas, and abroad (Turkey, the Philippines and Mexico). The cost is high and I’m very much priced out of the quote I was given in Houston.
I chose Algodones, Mexico for its short flight from where I am. Two to three hours from Houston, and about 18 hours less for flights to Turkey or the Philippines. I’m originally from the Philippines, but my thought process is to have a quick flight in case I need an emergency remedy for my implants; thus, Mexico was my final choice. I spent hours texting and talking to different clinics in Algodones, Mexico, comparing prices in connection to the services and materials included in the package they offered. And from my research came one clinic that I thought had the highest quality of implant with an affordable package for a full mouth procedure. Varto Oral Surgery quoted me less than $20K in September 2025 with “all on four” on upper and lower implants using Straumann and Zirconia permanent teeth. The packages also include bone graft, dental extractions, ct scan, sedation, hotel accommodation and airport pickup to and from the hotel/airport.
Dr. Roberto Vargas and his team worked on my procedure with ease and reassuring calmness as if they’ve done this kind of surgery a million times. I was awake when they cleaned my existing teeth. After that, I got sedated, and when I woke up, all my old teeth were extracted, and 8 implants were already embedded into my jaw. I felt only a little discomfort on my gums. The next morning, I was fitted with the temporary teeth and by noon, I was on the observation phase with almost no swelling. Varto clinic provided me, free of charge, medications for two weeks. As I write this review, it’s been 4 weeks since my procedure. I have no more swelling, no pain on my gums, and no bleeding. Chewing a food that is comparable to boiled broccoli is still getting used to but with careful processing, it is manageable.
My next appointment for permanent Zirconia teeth fitting is in February, and it seems my healing is progressing so fast that I can be back before the allocated 4 months healing period. This is thanks to the meticulous and careful procedure by Varto Oral Surgery!
