I have a single implant. One. I fucking hate it. Not to speak of the dentist because he’s fantastic, but the structure of the things drives me nuts.
If anyone’s unaware, they don’t go into the socket like a normal tooth. There’s an anchor, but they’re kinda T-shaped and leave a miniscule gap between the “tooth” and the gum. SO MUCH SHIT GETS TRAPPED IN THERE! I carry metal toothpicks with me everywhere (“weapons” according to every security guy ever) because I constantly have to dig shit out.
There’s other problems too, but that’s the most annoying one.
I have three ceramic crowns and they do not have that issue at all. I was bad at my luxury bone maintenance when I was younger so I will probably have to get many more crowns in the future.
Hmm. I also have one but it’s the opposite experience for me. Getting the old tooth yanked out and then the drilling into the upper jaw was a weird experience. But I really can’t complain, I actually use that as the dominant ripping and chewing side now.
My uncle always used to say that his goal in life is to have all his teeth replaced with implants.
He died at 51 from a heart attack.

Good to know that I should avoid implants.
