Oral Health and Dental Issues Support Group
You only have one set of teeth for life, so take good care of them. This is the place to discuss oral and dental care, good practices, dental office experiences, and general thoughts around those pearly whites.
Hello everyone,
I recently went to a clinic for the retreatment of a root canal.
However, the consultant said that it wasn't worth doing and I should get a dental implant privately instead. She told me to go back to my dentist to get referred.
However, my dentist is now away for the next few weeks and looking online there's seems to be a huge range of prices. My friend suggested this dental clinic offering dental implants. What do you guys think about this?
Has anyone had one done and what are you supposed to look out for when choosing who to do it?

Well, first of all, a dental implant is really cool. There will be fewer worries. In fact, its installation really takes up a huge price range. It depends on how much money you have. You should think better about choosing a clinic. Read the reviews, talk to the doctors. And it will be better if you go to another dentist, because your dentist may be wrong about something. The more opinions of different doctors, the better for you. I can recommend a clinic where my sister works as a dental assistant. She recently graduated here https://www.vocationaltraininghq.com/how-to-become/dental-assistant/ and now works. You could go for a consultation.

Your dentist can save your tooth by clearing the infected pulp and filling it with a replacement material through a root canal treatment. You can merge this treatment with a crown if necessary. On the other hand, a dental implant removes your original tooth and fixes a metal post in your jawbone. I had my dental implant treatment from my nearest dental clinic [ https://www.dentistoakville.com/services/cosmetic-dentistry/ ] last year. Dental implants help to improve long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow effortless access between teeth, improving oral hygiene. If you take proper care, many implants last a lifetime.

In the US dental implants are very very expensive. They are simple to do by the US is full of greedy people.

Hey there, I would definitely recommend you with dental implants as I had issue with my tooth once and got root canal. But the filling wasn't done properly and one day when I was eating the fillings started to come off bit by bit. I had to get to another dentist, a friend of my suggested and he told me that the issue wouldn't be solved with root canal but can with dental implants(https://www.bloorwestsmiles.com/dental-implants/ ). He gave me a brief explanation of how it works and what all to do to make it work. It as been over 2 years and it works perfectly fine. A little bit expensive comparing to root canal but it is better to get treated with something that doesn't choke you to death.

Hi, I had recently undergone dental implantation treatment https://www.appletondental.ca/services/dental-procedures/implants and I'm quite satisfied with the outcome. It is indeed cost-effective and a permanent solution to dental issues. Dental implantation can fill the gap between teeth, restore your lost teeth, bring in a natural appearance and improve the functionality of your teeth. However, it is important to note that it takes almost four to six months for the result to be experienced to the full and it totally depends on each individual's dental issues.

I had two back in 1994, upper left quadrant. My periodontist was the first to do them in our state. It was a positive experience all the way. Be sure to go with a periodontist that specializes in implants. There is a procedure that may accompany the implantation: guided tissue regeneration, if your perio decides your supporting structure needs some assistance to make sure the implant is viable.
