Excellent read, I appreicate the link. Thankfully, I haven't waited so long to go the dentist that I need implants or dentures. They're saving everything via root canals, crowns and fillings. I do have two missing teeth which really aren't visible when smiling that I may eventually get implants for, but for now it's not severe or costly enough that I would really entertain going out of the country to have it done.

My dentist has told me that in the long run an implant is cheaper than a root canal, as most root canals will eventually fail and need the implant anyway (I have an implant because I was just genetically missing a tooth and I absolutely love it - I'm a bit jealous of the guy with nothing but implants, I've thought to myself many times how great it would be to do just that, but I didn't know it was a realistic option).
