cool chick , as I told my dentist, it's not about the money. The insurance will cover most of the bills. It's about the best solution long term.
The only thing I'm afraid of is a screw in my bone causing a bone fracture. and that's not good. my dentist didn't mention anything about the crown trapping bacteria and that it may need to be replaced every 10 years. hmmmm...
it's the 3rd tooth from the back that is missing so it's not noticeable. The bone, in that area, however, has thinned a little bit...the dentist said sometimes if the bone is not wide enough to accept a screw, they implant kadaver (sp) bone to make it thicker.
anyway, thanks for the response. I have some time to think about it, and consult the oral surgeon.
