Thought I would start a thread about choppers or lack of, lol! First off, bad teeth run in my family, brushing, flossing, pro cleaning regardless. The major reconstructions I had done in 1973 and 1995/96 have been going bad. Last fall, one of my front teeth absessed. Both front teeth were part of a six tooth bridge (two intact, two missing, two intact). The other front tooth previously had a root canal and had basically turned to punk. So, I lost both front teeth.
Long story short, the seventeen teeth I have left just won't long term support more bridges/partials so I elected to get them all out. Like many people here in KY, I go to the UK School of Dentistry in Lexington, KY to let students work on me. (Reduced cost care, excellant care really)
Anyway, after plenty of discussion with the student working on me and the resident doctors, I am going to have two implants in my lower jaw to stabilize the lower plate. I have heard pro and con from others but no first hand experiances. Anyone have any input on the implants?
