Shirley --- seriously ---- the bone line would be messed up? The oral surgeon (they really push these) told me the drill and nail/bolt, whatever that goes in is so very tiny but how could it be. He said this material is so strong and the body accepts it --- well, I read some people had problems and their bone or something wouldn't accept it to heal.
It's sad there's really no alternative once the bridge goes south and you run out of teeth to attach. Dentures seems to cause so many problems for people but maybe that's all hype since they scare ya into having implants. I watched the video but really didn't want to so ignored as much as possible which was stupid --- anyway, instead of dentures they can place two implants, side by side in four areas of your mouth for all your teeth. I still don't understand how anyone could chew steak if all the teeth weren't implanted. The 8 implants act as anchors for all your teeth. In this day & age ya'd think we'd all have healthier teeth. I know I was hard on mine eating those stupid almonds. Broke off my route canal'd teeth but was fortunate they could be saved except one. I read the avg. person of 50 yrs. of age? has five missing teeth. That's a jack o lantern/holy moly! Sounds a tad high.
