Dental implants

[MadJack]

Anybody here ever get one? I think Hawkeye did. I'm thinking about getting one and just want to know what your experience was throughout the entire process. The process from start to finish, how many visits and how long each visit, the pain you may have experienced, the healing process. Basically the entire process from start to finish. Thanks to anybody who cares to share. :0008

Oh, and the cost but I already have a good idea what to expect there.

Cool, I will definitely do that. Thanks.

I still would like to hear from people that have actually had it done too.

Things we get to look forward to.....

Visiting my mom and sister, and they can't eat half the foods they always have, because they have no teeth!

I would hate that.

The commercials make it sound like the implants are the closest thing to real teeth.

Good luck Jack!

Yeah it must suck and I don't want to get like that either. Probably the 2nd easiest thing to do would get a bridge for it instead of the little flipper thing I have now. I have a different bridge and it's fine. I have had everything thing done. All teeth crowned, many root canals, pulled teeth, failed root canals, you name it. And I'm still terrified of dentists. May as well enter into a new dental adventure. Christ!

Don't... Implants are a breeze. Everything you've been thru is torture compared to doing an implant.
