Playing Musical Instruments after Implant Surgery?
My question concerns his ability to play his trombone after the dental implant surgery. Could the pressure on his mouth interfere with the bone accepting the dental implant or could it cause it to be crooked?
Pregnancy and Dental Implants
I am a dental implant patient and I recently experienced an implant failure in a rather unexpected way. I had the dental implant (lower jaw in the back) for about 4 years without any complications whatsoever.
Age Factor for Dental Implants?

Bridge or Implant?
I recently went to a top dentist in New York and asked him to make me a bridge. He told me that in this day and age it as absolutely ridiculous to have a bridge, and to shave down a healthy tooth when one can have a dental implant. However, I worry about the long term health ramifications of implants, i.e. the metal in the body, complications, etc.
Worried About Bone Graft
I am getting two dental implants soon. Tooth # 29 has to be extracted, and tooth # 30 has been missing for many years. The dentist told me that I would need a bone graft done in # 30.
Flipper Hitting the Dental Implant
I recently went to my dental implant dentist to check to see if my implant had fused enough to add the tooth.
