Thanks. Wouldn't play at all from the other page. I'm very interested in this. I had two family members who got implants years ago, long before the statistics cited in the video. One was my mother. Her implant fell out. She refused to get it redone and wore a false tooth for the rest of her life. The other had the same thing happen - tooth fell out. Not sure what they did.
A third relative, in her 80s, got an implant. Yet again, the implant fell out.
A fourth relative had several implants done. She was young. She was utterly miserable after the posts were implanted, extreme pain and inflammation and it took months to be able to fit the tooth part. As far as I know she's doing okay.
These people all paid thousands for these implants. BTW, I'm equally leery of all these joint replacements. I'll just say one thing. You'd better not have a bad fall with all that metal in your leg or hip. Humpty Dumpty.
Implants were a relatively new technology in the 1980s, with varying success.
They've come a long way now in the 2020s, with a much better understanding of what causes loss of the bone attachment. There are many protocols that now exist due to the historical evidence from back then.
Implants aren't a replacement for a tooth, they're a replacement for no tooth. And, at the end of the day, if you're someone who smokes a lot (or does other drugs like meth), who doesn't brush plaque away, doesn't floss or water-floss underneath the crown, etc....then yes, they will fail. Regardless of the skill of the surgeon.
I'm not talking about the 80s or within 20 years of it! None of the people I'm talking about were ever smokers, ever would have dreamed of doing drugs, and were meticulous about oral hygiene. Two of them had implants done within the last two years.
She's a fucking idiot. Pull 21 healthy teeth because of one cavity?
What does it say? Video won't play.
Plays just fine.

My husband had a hip replacement. It took away his pain. There was no alternative. The pain was that bad.
I'm glad it helped him. Tell him to be careful, not take chances on falling if he can.

I wouldn't get an implant if they paid me.
No problem, that's the freedom of choice haha.
Better to keep all your teeth!
That's right. Much better to keep your real choppers if you can.
Is there a link that works? No vid on this one.
That is horrible. Oh that poor woman.
If we can grow tissue in a petrie dish to turn into salami, where is our technology to regrow teeth? Ugh.
