I have dental implants and a removable appliance that snaps into them. The little retention cups need to be replaced. When I called into my dentist he wanted to charge $25 for one! They are so tiny and I can’t justify the cost because I found them online for $20 for a set of four. […]
Feeling like I was hit with a truck after dental implant surgery.
I had not idea dental implant surgery would be so terrible. My implant dentist made it sounds like a routine thing that wouldn’t interfere with my everyday life. But, I am a wreck. I feel like I was hit by a truck. Surgery day wasn’t too bad because I was sedated and don’t really remember […]
Would I ever be a dental implants candidate?
Dental implants weren’t an option 20 years ago. So, I ended up with a full set up dentures to replace my missing teeth. At first, they were okay. But, as the years have passed, I am unhappy with my smile. My face seems like it’s wrinkling up around the dentures and they look fake. Also, […]

I had both dental implants and porcelain veneers recommended. Is this normal?
It’s time for me to get dental implants. I have gotten by with a dental flipper for over a decade now. I had it placed when I was in a severe accident in my teen years. I was told I’d need dental implants for my two front teeth eventually. Now, is the time. That said, […]
How many years experience to find the best implant dentist?
I’m trying to find the best implant dentist. I understand that there is always some risk of failure, but as I understand it, this risk is mitigated based on the skill of the dentist. I read a study that showed that the longer a doctor was in practice, the better implant dentist he was, but […]
Can I get whitening even though I have dental implants?
