Dental Implant Issue

[Big Blue Plymouth]

I'm having upper left and right molars done locally and it ain't cheap.

The guy I'm seeing has the best reputation in the area but I noticed in his bumph he claims a success rate of only 90% so will definitely be taking out the insurance at a premium of £85 pa per implant.

Good idea....

Chap I knew had a dental implant.

It gave him septicaemia.

It took a mere 10 years to kill him very slowly.

That's what is good about CUK. There is always someone who has something positive to say about anything.

Until they sort out regrowing of original teeth from stem cells or some such whizzo approach, implants are the best way of replacing bad/lost teeth if the circumstances fit.

I had a partial denture for ages while my failed crown root extract healed (and deciding whether to have an implant or bridgework) and would not go back to that. I'd rather move to a part of the country where missing teeth is the norm, though I have no other motivation to ever move back up north.

If you'd ever seen the state he was in, it would be difficult to detect the silver lining.

It looked like 100% cloud to me.

But hey! what the **** do I know?

Maybe ending up half blind and crippled in a wheelchair was his life's dream.

Anything to say? Sorry, I misspoke would be a good start.
