Dental implants

[lutonlagerlout]

I am off to this place in the morning to try and get some teeth installed :O

so implants it is

I've got two implants, had them done by usual dentist.. They cost £1500 each. 10 monthly payments of £150.
If you have any questions just ask.

yes tony i,m in that era 42. not got many left. mother used to feed me ribeena as soon i was 12 months i think, pure sugar. but we did have free milk. mate used to go out with a girl called bin teeth! why? one every yard

£1500 each??? Sheesh I'm in the wrong trade.

[lutonlagerlout]

I am having 3 done tomorrow
need some bone graft so its £2500 toms then a further grand in august
so roughly£1150 per tooth
i used to spend my dinner money on cola cubes or sweet peanuts at school so no surprises really
plus opening beer bottles with my teeth didnt help,and forgetting to duck on numerous occasions all added to the general dental mismanagement :;):
i dont mind the george clooney hair or the giant haystacks gut ,but the jocky wilson smile has to go
RIP jocky BTW
a legend of darts in my youth

bet you will be like dick emery

[Bob_A]

I had my 2 done at seperate times. If you are having 3 done at the same time then that's possibly why it's cheaper.

Should have had them done after the Chester Race meeting Tone !. just to be safe.

Guy round here has only one tooth left in his head, hes known as Juanita

in laymans terms what they did today was slice the gums with a scalpel,peel it back (eek!)
drill a 6 mm hole in my jaw approx 15mm deep
insert a titanium raw plug into that hole and do
it up with a tiny ratchet spanner
then stitch the gum back up
times 3
feeling slightly better now having managed to get hold of some real pain relief :;):
just reading the after surgery notes and it says no alcohol till the stitches come out
what if celtic win the SPL sunday?

They didn't cut my gums or if they did it wasn't not enough to warrant any stitches afterwards.
It may of been 'cos the original tooth had only been removed a few months earlier, or perhaps it just depends on the individuals circumstances or dentists technique?

So do you have a small stump sticking out of your gum?
If so at a later date they'll extend it then crown it.
