cosmetic dentist?

[PinkSky]

Hi community, I need to have a couple of dental implants and am very nervous, so I'd like to ask for any recommendations for a cosmetic dentist. And any words of wisdom to share about having dental implants done? Thank you very much.

I had an implant to replace a failed root canal. It was done at Townley Road Dental practice. It was the best decision I have made. It looks and feels like a real tooth. Have got it done was fine and not too painful - probably helped that the tooth it replaced had no nerve as it had been root canaled. It's not cheap, mainly because the treatment is not offered on the NHS but it is a long lasting solution. I really wish i had had it done years ago when the tooth first started to fail.

One caveat is that you need fairly healthy gums and bones for the implant to take so it can be a poor solution if you have tooth loss through gum disease or significant decay ( mine was a milk tooth that never came out so it simply crumbled after prolonged use)
