I’m scheduled for an upper incisor titanium implant, recommended by my dentist of 30+ yrs and my periodontist. However I’ve recently heard of 2 aquaintances who had implants done, had problems, and actually had them taken out.
I don’t know what the problems were as I don’t know them well enough to call and ask, but infection was mentioned.
Does anyone have personal experience with implants who can shed more light on the issue?
Thanks

I need a tooth implant for one of my front teeth, and my dentist told me it would cost $9k total (implant, crown and care). This sounds absurd to me. Anyone know of what the total cost is for a single implant, in general (total cost, meaning implant, crown and care)? I feel like I am getting ripped off, and my insurance will not cover any of it.

I’ll be getting them sometime in the near future so:
1) do they sedate you? is it like a surgery?
2) do they hurt? how long will I be sore?
any info like the above would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
