I had a tooth extraction done in July '06, I still haven't gotten a dental implant. Am I risking bone loss?

I had a nasty tooth with deep fillings and inflamed roots pulled after three failed attempts at a root canal. I'm kinda phobic of dental procedures now (not my dentist's fault, he is great, this tooth was really messed-up). I know I need to get a dental implant it is my lower right back tooth which I used to rely on for a lot of my chewing. My dentist said I need to get the implant done ASAP or my bone will wear away and I might need to get a cadaver bone put in (EWWWWWW!)





Can I get away with a few more months or do I really need to do it now? I would prefer to wait until I am in a better financial position to afford an anethesiologist (or maybe a good shrink to work through this new dental procedure phobia).

I would certainly get it done now. Do you have a credit card you can put it on? Don't be scared, they have so many procedures now to alleviate the pain, you really have nothing to worry about. You have probably been miserable since July 06' so why put up with the problem any longer than you have to. Good luck:)
Reply:Dental implants are long-term replacements are surgically placed in the jawbone. More and more people are considering dental implants as their the best treatment option for replacing missing teeth.





Many people are traveling overseas to places like India, Mexico, Thailand and Singapore for their teeth implants at affordable cost.
