Dental Treatments
All on 4
All-on-4 supports a fixed full-arch restoration on four implants for selected patients missing most or all teeth. Bone volume, gum health and bite determine suitability; grafting or additional procedures may be needed.

What options are available for patients missing most or all of their teeth?
Options may include All-on-4, All-on-6, 3-on-6, implant-supported bridges, fixed hybrid dentures or removable Snap-on Dentures. An examination helps identify which approach fits your needs.
All on 6
All-on-6 uses six implants to support a fixed full-arch restoration. It may help patients with extensive tooth loss; bone support, health and bite must be assessed. Immediate temporary teeth are an option only when clinical conditions allow.

3-on-6 supports three bridges on six implants. Snap-on Dentures are removable implant-retained dentures. These approaches have different maintenance and treatment requirements.
Dental Implants
International Dental Center PV in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, welcomes local and international patients. Dr. Alberto Hernández, DDS, evaluates treatment options according to your oral health and goals.
Do you offer dental implants?
Yes. Implants can replace individual missing teeth or support bridges and dentures. Suitability depends on bone, gum health, medical history and bite.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?
A clinical examination and appropriate imaging help compare tooth-preserving, restorative and implant options. A website cannot diagnose your condition.
Cosmetic Dentistry
What cosmetic dental treatments do you offer?
We offer veneers, Lumineers, teeth whitening, Invisalign and individual smile makeover plans. Treatment depends on tooth structure, gum health, bite and your goals.
Full Smile Makeover coordinates selected aesthetic treatments. Invisalign uses clear aligners for suitable alignment problems.
Full Mouth Reconstruction focuses on rebuilding function and oral health when several teeth or the bite are affected; aesthetic improvements may also form part of the plan.
Dental Crowns
Do you provide veneers and crowns?
Yes. Zirconia and porcelain crowns cover and protect teeth when a filling alone is insufficient. Veneers mainly address selected problems on the visible tooth surface.

Can damaged natural teeth sometimes be saved?
Yes. Fillings, crowns, periodontal care or root canal treatment may preserve suitable teeth. We assess the prognosis before recommending extraction.
Do you offer root canals?
Yes. Root Canal Treatment treats infected or inflamed pulp and can help preserve a restorable tooth. The final restoration and prognosis depend on its condition.
Veneers
Veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front of selected teeth to improve shape, colour, chips or small spaces. Zirconia and E.max options require an assessment of enamel, bite and gum health.
Lumineers are a thin ceramic veneer option. Minimal or no preparation is possible only in suitable cases; it is not appropriate for every tooth.
Veneers and crowns have different purposes and preparation requirements. Neither is a substitute for treating decay, gum disease or an unstable bite. Regular cleaning, reviews and maintenance remain necessary.
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It may be supported by suitable natural teeth or dental implants. The condition of the supporting teeth, bone and bite helps determine the design.
Implant-Supported Bridges use implants to support replacement teeth without relying on adjacent teeth.
Fixed Hybrid Dentures are full-arch restorations secured to implants and removed by a dental professional when needed for maintenance.
Prettau Zirconia Bridges are another restorative option. All bridges require daily cleaning, periodic reviews and maintenance; they may need repair or replacement over time.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening can lighten selected stains on natural teeth. A dental assessment checks the cause of discoloration, sensitivity, decay and gum health before choosing an in-office or supervised home option.
Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, fillings or veneers. Results and sensitivity vary; replacement restorations or another treatment may be needed to achieve a coordinated appearance.
Ask our team about whitening during your evaluation. For a broader plan, explore Full Smile Makeover. Compare current treatment costs on our Dental Prices Mexico page.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar and selected surface stains, alongside an assessment of teeth and gums. Periodontal disease may require deeper cleaning or additional care rather than routine polishing alone.
General and preventive care may include examinations, fillings and custom dental guards. Bruxism guards can help protect teeth and restorations from grinding; their design depends on your bite and symptoms.
What dental treatments are available at International Dental Center PV?
Our services include dental implants and full-arch solutions, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, root canals and preventive care. The linked treatment pages explain the individual options; our Dental FAQ covers common planning questions.
Zirconia Implants
Zirconia Dental Implants are ceramic implants for selected patients. Bone, bite and restoration requirements determine whether this material is suitable.
Are bone grafting and sinus lifts available?
Yes. Bone Grafting may rebuild deficient bone, and a Sinus Lift may create space for implants in the upper back jaw. Imaging and examination determine whether either is needed. Extractions are considered when a tooth cannot reasonably be preserved.
Can I receive an evaluation before traveling to Puerto Vallarta?
Yes. Send existing X-rays, intraoral photographs, dental history and CBCT files or reports when available. Preliminary planning can begin before travel; the final diagnosis and treatment plan require an in-person examination.
Do international patients need more than one trip?
It depends on the treatment. Many implant plans require separate surgical and restorative visits with healing between them. Crowns, veneers or preventive care may fit one trip, depending on complexity and clinical findings.
