Does Anybody Have Tooth Implants?

My dentist has a poster of that in her office . . . with all those individual teeth implanted, that's a lot of metal there . I don't know anyone I can ask personally about the pain . . . those people in the zillion tv commercials seem awfully happy, but surely there must be pain involved to some degree.

No, but I need them. My brother has one and it wasn't painful.

I have never had a tooth implant before. So I don't know if it hurts or not. But the cost is very expensive. I asked the cost because my mother was planning to do it. I hope to hear some information from my friends here.

I don't know how they do it, it sounds painful. I hope to never find out.

It is not a pleasant process for sure OT. I was subject to a failed procedure after waiting 8 months for the bone graft to take for them to insert the steel root. They had to make an incision to put bone stuff in there to grow, but after all that time it did not take. Boy, was I mad for being out the money and time. I wound up getting a permanent bridge which fits nicely, and the fake tooth looks ok. But getting an implant is definitely a hassle.

@RebeccasFarm I don't have any dental problem.Nor do any of my friends have it.Someone had told me before tooth implant they get pain killers injected in your gums.

I know a couple of people that have replaced all their teeth with implants and they seem to be happy but personally I am scared to do it. I have a low tolerance for pain.

A strong magnet can take them all out. I know nothing about how it really works but I do not want anyone messing with my gums drilling in them.

Nope, I still have all. my regular teeth. But you're right, it does sound like it would be painful.

I can't imagine I'd ever want one. I'm not into pain either.

I have wondered about that too. It is about £2000 per tooth implant and doesn't sound like a short or painless procedure

I had a tooth cap set on my teeth but my other teeth are fine and I hope I don't have to have tooth implant in this life.

Yes . it is very painful.

I have to get my wisdom teeth and two other teeth out on June 25. I am more afraid of the IV anesthesia than the teeth pulling. I also have to have a growth on my tongue removed and examined by a pathologist two of those teeth are teeth that broke and my sister and me and my dentist and oral surgeon don't know what we will do to those empty places where they are to be pulled are now
