Just talking to a lady about which metal to do for implant. I've never had an implant and HOPE I never have to think about that. Maybe 10 yrs ago a 3 tooth bridge fell out of my mouth. It was a permanent bridge but didn't last a long time I guess.

I had a removable 3 tooth bridge made, and it's wonderful. Matches my gums and teeth and no one but me knows it's there. It anchors onto two teeth and it's been great.

I have a hard time thinking of metal implanted in my gums. Hard enough that I deal with a hip replacement implants, metal and plastic...thank goodness no infections.

I think too it's where one is in their life...younger, in the middle or older. I'm on the older end....and have learned to live simpler in everything.
