You need to wait around 3 months after the extraction in order to gain bone tissue. The implant is done with local anesthesia and you don´t feel anything. The dental crown is inserted into the implant after 2 or 3 months. In the first year or two, maybe will need to tighten the crown screw (you know when you start to feel some pain), after that you will forget that you have an implant.
The surgery should be done by an implant specialist.Comment

I have to have a molar extracted that will leave me with little left to chew on. I could get a bridge done but I don't like the idea of haveing the 2 healthy teeth either side getting filed down to stumps to support the bridge.
So it's an implant and it'ss cost in the region of £3k.
First question - is it an uncomfortable procedure?
Second question - I could probably get it done in India for a fraction of the price and get a holiday thrown in too. Anyone done this and lived to tell the tale?

I done it once. Its ok but price is very high for a one and few hours after I was in pain. The worst pain in my life. If you have a one missing you should leave it, unless you really want to. If you have few missing you should think about a bridge( its cheaper and it will fill place after few missing teeth at once), but its up to youComment

You are better of using an electric toothbrush.
Oh and if your teeth aren't straight using mini brushes to get into those crannies."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

To your queries.
1. Uncomfortable? Well, yes. it's dentistry, it's just about always uncomfortable, apart from the times it's bloody sore. This was no worse than uncomfortable, I'd say
2. I looked at Hungary on the basis of it being a fairly advanced dentistry culture over there (arguably better in this respect than the UK outside of London). Bottom line though was the extra day travelling each way would have eaten into my billable days, thus more than wiping out any saving. I also didn't like the idea of not being able to get back to the perpetrator/dentist easily if I needed some after care.
I'm still at the stage of having a vague worry about a dull pain I occasionally get in my lower jaw, and my tongue keeps wandering over to the new tooth to check out what it's doing there. Somewhat disconcerting. Overall though, I don't regret it.
As it happens, I had a molar extracted about 4 months ago and I'm pondering getting an implant or just leaving a nice gap. Thanks for some really useful info. I've been told it'd be about £2k. L:et me just pop over to L&A to ask NLUK if it's an allowable business expenseComment
