Dental Implants
Anyone had a dental implant? Thinking about it even though the price is astronomical (£2k).
The alternatives are a denture (ruled that out, beginning of the end!), a bridge ( not keen on having the okish teeth either side drilled down), or leave a gap.
It's either the gap or an implant. It's towards the back so cosmetically couldn't give a toss, but obviously does affect biting slightly.
The main objection to the implant is although I can afford it, these dentists are raking it in big time ! Leaving it can lead to bone loss, and may affect other teeth - so the people trying to sell an implant say (!)
Anyhow, any advice/experiences appreciated.

Re: Dental Implants
My French sister-in-law had ALL her teeth removed and replaced with "pivot" implants. A slow process, with a liquid diet for a few weeks, but in the end they looked superb. And she loved them too. Under medical insurance she didn't pay a single euro...

Re: Dental Implants
Mr K take a read of this
https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1713890
It was discussed over on pistonheads a week or two ago, and it involved dentists posting too.
