Root canal or extraction?

Implants do not last forever, they can get infected and they can fail.

Your honest dentist should have told you that.

I do agree with you though. Implants are amazing at replacing teeth, position of the TMJ and returning natural occlusion which.

Actually, my honest dentist has told me that, so maybe I should have tempered my advice a bit. In my case, he also said I'm healthy and don't smoke (that's the big one) so I have a good chance the implants I have won't ever fail. He's been doing them about 30 years now, and from what I understand, this is the guy other dentists in the area go to.

BTW, he's a car guy with a '65 Mustang that his Dad bought new... So we have better conversations than I do with my other docs.
