My Husband is going to be getting two of them as soon as his gums are ready. His dentist told him it takes a year to get your gums too recede enough for an implant after your teeth have been pulled. He gets his teeth pulled tomorrow and he got a flapper to put in the place of the missing teeth. He was going to get a bridge but it was only a little more for implants and they are permanent. Our insurance doesnt pay for implants so we are saving for them now. I would get the implants I think you will be happy you did |
