Dental Implants?

Can someone tell me how this works and if any of you have ever had a whole mouth done and how much can it cost for a whole mouth full? And how painful is this?

Dental Implants?
I personally do not have them, but I know how it works. Generally, implants are the anchors that are embedded into the gum line surgically by a periodontist. The recovery time is about 30 days. For the whole moutht to be done, you are talking about 6 - 8 anchors ( or abutments is what they are called). Then the permanent dentures are made to fit over the abutments and anchored in place. Therefore, giving you a natural bite and smile. Yes, it is expensive. I would weigh your options with your dentist and periodontist. Good luck.
Reply:Each tooth is about $2000 to take out the old one and implant in a support for a new one. Then it is another $1500 to make the tooth that will be put onto that support. So multiply that by a full mouthful and you have about $100k of expenses.
