Hi,

dont be scared; I can assure you it is well worth having the implant done. The most traumatic part of the procedure for me was anticipating having the tooth extracted. I took valium (prescribed at my request) and sailed through it. Same with the actual implant 3 months later; valium made me relax and after that it was plain sailing.
The worst part of the whole experience was having to wear a dental plate for 6 months.
I have had the implant for a year now and it looks and feels great. Go ahead!

I asked about implants a few years ago,however I made the mistake of first bringing up the issue of mercury! First dentist denied that mercury could possibly be causing me any health issues. So I called around & found dentist number 2. After the exam & discussion of doing the implants, I again brought up mercury. I wanted to be assured any dentist removing my fillings/teeth knew what he was doing! Once again I got that "look" and the adamant refusal that mercury could be causing any health issues.

I will research the electro galvanism,that might be enlightening.

And I just wanted to say that while I've done nothing about my teeth,my lifetime friend had the implants. It's been 9 mos now & she is very pleased. Her cost was about $15,000. Her insurance paid for most of the cost. She never experienced any horrific pain.

And for the person diagnosed with ALS (sorry I can't recall your name). I urge you to research Lyme disease! There are people that have gotten out of bed & wheelchairs after getting a proper diagnosis of Lyme. Just google ALS & Lyme disease for info. Good luck!
