Nearly a year ago, my teeth were not in good shape, notably those in the upper jaw. So, consultations began with the dentist's detailed prognosis, information and advice. Three choices emerged: 1. Leave as was, repairing as much damage as possible. (Probably suitable for the lower jaw only, so was chosen as such). 2. Treat/remove individual teeth and replace with dentures. (Unattractive to me). 3. Remove all upper jaw teeth and insert implants. (Seemed the most suitable. I wanted something that felt closer to having real teeth). It was just as painless and trouble-free as the first version. By then, I could eat more adventurously. Finally, the third version. After years of being in a dentally substandard condition, I can now smile properly and eat far more enjoyably. At every stage, the dentist and his assistants/nurses have demonstrated skill, diligence and an admirably professional attention to detail. The entire experience occupied a lot of my time and implants are not inexpensive. It was worth it.
