Thay is very interesting, as I had two implants done in 1997 (teeth # 7 & 8, front center) I only needed 3 months bone healing time before the permanents were attached. I have had zero problems in the ten years I have had them.
Not sure where yoyurs were placed, have heard that back teeth (chewing teeth) do take longer....As two of the thre I need are front teeth, could be a different issue.
Now I have #' 9 & 10 needed as well as some other work I am going to consult with Dr C & Dra R on my upcoming trip.
I have also contacted a 2nd for another opinion prior to making my final decision. Dr Mario Garita (specialists in the one hour and one day procedures)
http://www.adultdentistry.net/I have meetings set up with both prior to making a decision, I will of course report back after my consultations and final decision.
Check this out, not even sure I am a candidate, but worth investigating.

The four that Dr. C implanted are doing great . Not like the high priced demist I had in VB FL I had one implant fall out and he wanted to start over.. ya I started over, with Dr. C. @ prisma
For what the price of one costs here in the United States and I had four done in SJ and they all work just fine….….The only thing that got me was the 3/4 in. makita drill the Doc uses……

Glad to hear the good report on your implants, I have been quoted less than
$ 5000 for the work I know I need (3 implants) vs my US dentist who I paid $5000 for 2 implants 10 years ago who now wants close to $ 13000 for 3...
Just a little concerned about that Makita Drill.....
My calculations even if I need 3 trips, I would be looking at not more than $ 12000 including travel costs, hotel/apartment and entertainment, plus a brand new smile......
I arrive on 4/18 for at least 8 days, will extend if needed as this is a miles trip (free).....If you are around 1st shot at the SL is on me.......I will probably need it
Thanks Again
