what are the prow's and con's of teeth implant surgery?

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 removal 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 happy experience and takes months to heal if they have to be removed. Ask 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. Good luck and I wish you well. The Denture Pro....by the way, I'm not selling anything...just providing free advice based on my 42 years 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 great 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 complain 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 missing tooth to hold the bridge to place. This is especially true 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. Good luck to you
