Wayne Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi, Has anybody on here had a tooth implant? You know, those titanium rooted teeth as a replacement for a broken adult tooth? Reason I'm askin is I am considering having one done after I visited a butcher dentist who snapped my tooth off below the gumline whilst being over forceful with the drill during a root canal. I just wanted to know anyones experience with them, whether they are good and whether or not they really hurt to have fitted and if they do drop out or not. Wayne.

Saffmonster Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I used to be a dental technician.......... They Do hurt, basically it's an operation to have a screw fitted into your jaw bone. But it settles down after a while. They are good. They are permanent so shouldnt fall out. And, they are very expensive. http://www.cosmeticd...k/implants.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks Sarah, I keep hearing good things about them, like never getting a tooth ache there again. I'm currently waiting on an op to remove the remainder of the tooth as I've since changed dentist and he has said I'd be in agony with him trying to remove the rest. £895 per tooth, but I'm struggling eatting with a missing back tooth.
