I have had two teeth removed in the past 4 years. One is number 19 and is a molar. It is on the bottom, and I have no problem eating, etc. And there is another one, on the other side on the bottom. From what I am told the #19 use to have two teeth in that location.
At the time of removal I was told that I should come in and have implants so that the upper teeth do not move.
Well I went in for a teeth cleaning today, and besides having a small cavity on #28, we started talking about the implants again. Next thing I know I paid the 300 for the circular xray to tell if my bone is strong enough, and now tomorrow at 10:15 I will get off work early and start the process for two implants. Putting the pins in.
The main Dentist thought that the molar was a definite good choice since food is chewed on it. But the cost is going to be $3000 each. Man thats a lot of money. So I sit here tonight trying to rationalize that I have went 2-3 years, and there is no problem. I just dont know if missing a tooth will cause the uppers to drop... anyway, does any one have any advice about implants?
I asked about their high price, and the advertised $800 implants I hear about on the radio, and they say they use quailty products, and people, I guess.
Thanks.
