Hi, I personally never had an implant and for me, can't go there financially or the thought of it all. A dear person in my life lost so many of her once beautiful teeth due to opiate "addiction" and after all was said and done and rehab was over, this person opted for full dentures. She just didn't want to deal with it all again. She is doing good with her dentures. Thinking back to my life, I never knew my mom without dentures, she lived to 91 and ate everything in her life. Best to you. C
