Groucho Marx once said that Abscess make the heart grow fonder, but now it means that I will be losing a troubled molar and am looking at getting an implant to replace the tooth.

Have any of you had an implant?

Do you have any Stories or Advice to pass on to your fellow freepers?

Are they NSA compliant implants?

Implants don’t “wear out”. The surrounding tissue fails before the implant.

I never said that.

Thanks for these links to Topix and Trip Advisor. It looks like there’s good discussion there about Costa Rican dental care.

"My dentist is quoting me about eight grand per implant."

Holy smokes. You can get an implant from a world-class dentist in Costa Rica for $1200 for the implant and $450 for the crown that goes on it. And I am talking about the white, metal-free Zirconium. The Titanium implants are even cheaper.

I can recommend a great implant dentist in Costa Rica if anyone wants to PM me.
