Aaron asks:
I am faced with deciding if I want an implant or a bridge replacement (for the third time). I am scared of surgery, but my dentist tells me that implants are become standard and the procedure is not complicated. Yet I am hesitant to accept that statement. Can you please just give me a few reasons, not financial, why I should go with an implant over a bridge?

Michelle asks:
Hi there! I have recently been shopping for an implant specialist/periodontist and I am not sure who to go to. I have been quoted a variety of different prices and treatment plans. My questions are: Do implants come in various qualities? Do they not come in only titanium fused to metal? How would you determine if you need a CT scan to see where your nerves are, for more accurate implant placement? Is it true that once your tooth is missing, there's no nerve underneath?
