OK..IMPLANTS…(1)..”very” expensive (2) current status is in the high 85% (3) there is no test that can determine ahead of time if your system will accept the implants (4) if the implants don’t take and have to be removed the gum bone in the confiscation area will shrink away as it heals.

I can tell you that when they do work they do very well, when they don’t it’s not a pleased experience and takes months to heal if they have to be removed. Question the dentist for a written guarantee that if they don’t work they will be removed at “no” cost to you…..If your considering this because you wear dentures, you need to write me and let me send you additional information. Excellent luck and I wish you well. The Denture Pro….by the way, I’m not promotion anything…just providing free advice based on my 42 being in the dental field.

If the implant is done by a qualified specialist the success rate is very high. In my 30 + yrs in the dental field, I have only seen one case that did not succeed. And this was due to patient neglect. This patient then had them done again, and 17 yrs later is doing fantastic with them.

Once the implant is placed in the bone, there is a healing time of about 6 months before the restorative treatment can be done. If your dentist follows this guideline, you should be ok. As far as the pain, I have not heard any patient nag about it. It looks and sounds scarier that it really is.

So be sure to have a specialist do the initial treatment for you.

The best reason to do an implant is that you don’t have to involve grinding down the teeth on each side of the gone tooth to hold the bridge to house. This is especially right if the teeth are in perfect shape. I believe the success rate is better than 83% and seeing that you are dealing with a living human body, I don’t know of any dentist who would guarantee the success of any procedure he would do. Excellent luck to you

cost dental implant surgery

I have to get the molar 31 removed, it’s the second one from the end, (not together with the wisdom tooth) located on the upper teeth. My dentist recommended an implant. I have two crowns on both sides of the molar and a wisdom tooth ( being ago they told me it didn’t need to come out). Here’s a few questions.

1) If you’ve had an implant how long does it take to get the job completed?

2) Is it possible to get a bridge instead, even though both adjacent teeth are crowned?

3) Can I use braces to go the wisdom tooth and last molar to fill in the gap even though I’m in my 30′s?

I have to go see the specialist that removes teeth and does implants tomorrow. I’m kind of freaked out and want to hear from anyone with experience in this kind of situation.

SUPER THANKS!

I am 52 being ancient and male. About 8 being ago, had root canal done to a jaw tooth. To make a long tale small that tooth cost me $ 1,200.00 US dollars to repair. 4 being later another jaw tooth went terrible. Had that one removed for $ 75.00 US dollars. Basically you have to make a pronouncement on what is more vital to you. There is a lot of factors to consider. Implants are not 100 percent successful. Bridges are uncomfortable to have. And all cost money to maintain. If you remove the tooth , the conundrum is mostly gone. GOoD luck on whatever you choose !

I’m a small confused about which tooth you are talking about because #31 is the second from the back together with the wisdom tooth. Since you have crowns on either side, I would take upon yourself its #30. So, since both teeth beside it are crowned, that would make it simpler to get a bridge because I wouldnt recommend getting a bridge on two unrestored teeth. The avg lifespan of a bridge is 10-12 being. As long as your healthy and don’t smoke, the success rate for implants is 95% or better and would last much longer than a bridge. Implants are a better option, but the limiting factor is usually cost, so it would depend on you if the cost is worth it.

I’ve heard excellent things about implants (and am due to get my new teeth for my implants soon!), but they are expensive and take approximately 6 months in total from the time you get your tooth removed to when you get your new tooth in.
