We just had a patient in a few minutes ago who has a front tooth replaced with an implant. [He is also getting one for a missing molar now.] It looks GREAT! We had to have him go to our local lab for some custom shade matching but the results are well worth it. It has been in place for a few years.
We are in the process of restoring 5 more implants now. The materials needed to start on 3 of them are ready to go and just arrived today. We will be placing 2 more on Thursday.
This is not an inexpensive process but it is the best way to do this. The surgeon's cost is in the neighborhood of $2200. The restorative process done with me is about $1600. This results in a total cost of about $3800 if only one tooth is being replaced. This tooth could very well last the rest of your life though. It is well worth it in my opinion and that of many of our patients.
Another patient was inquiring about getting dental implants earlier this afternoon also.
