I had my checkup to see how I had healed after my extraction. No problems but not healed enough for an implant. Just as well as I had decided against proceeding with the implant procedure. Partly because the window of opportunity closed as basically one needs four months after an implant to attach the abutment and crown. That would have meant an additional round trip from Hong Kong just before flying back to Canada. Too much expense and too much flying. I had considered ( if healing had been complete) having only the implant done here and then having the abutment and crown attached in Mexico or even Canada. But I was unsuccessful in trying to confirm there would be dentists using the same brand as here, which is Osstem. Osstem is marketed in US, Canada and Mexico under the name HiOssen. I emailed the Mexican distributor asking for a list of dentists using that product in Mexico City. The reply I got was in Spanish and only suggested I call the distributor.
So now I have a gaping hole waiting for a solution. I think maybe Mexico will be the solution. There are clinics in Cancun and Mexico DF that I have contacted and their total costs are quoted as one third to one half that which would have been the cost here in Chiang Mai. It will be easier to make two trips to Mexico than two to Asia.
