Can anyone give me any feedback about tooth implants if you or someone you know well have experienced one? |

Polenta, my sissy has had two, and do know it is a longer process, also expensive. She had no pain, but swollen, and a little discomfort for a day. She is pleased with the outcome!! |

Someone I know had it done, she said you had to be concerned about rejection. As Lila said, it's very expensive. This woman had a whole mouth done! Had to wear false teeth for awhile. I remember her going through this for a long time, that was for a whole mouth. If you can afford it, it's worth it! |

I have implants. I had a great dentist. He is the best in the field. He specialized in implants etc. The titanium used in the implant is very strong. I have a high level to pain, so ice packs helped with the swelling and Tylenol worked. I've had the three implants for over 8 years. No problems. Yes, it is expensive, but I prefer implants to bridges. One implant back then was about $1,000. Just make sure the person is good. Ask to see his/her work. My dentist had a portfolio in his office. Google the person's name. See if anyone has comments. Good luck. |

Thanks a lot for your information. $1,000 is what they say it costs or cost here per tooth. Maybe now it's cheaper. I imagine the person who had all his teeth done.... that's a fortune!!! |

I have a crown, I think it would count as an implant because the tooth under it is basically gone. The root canal I had to have to get it ready wasn't a joy, I had some pain but I found Ibuprofin worked for it (Tylenol 3's just made me sick and did nothing for the pain so I gave up on them) |
