What are the bad points about dental implants?
I'm a dentist.





Cost, cost, and cost. That's it. They are by far the best prosthetic solution in virtually every case where a patient is a good candidate for them (i.e. good health, reasonable hygien practices, good bone, etc.).





The only "bad point" about implants is that not everybody is a good candidate for them.
