could make and so worth it. I had the upper jaw done because of bone loss and my teeth were very loose. I had a choice of dentures or implants. I did the dentures and could not get use to them and would never, ever do that again.
I had what is called zygomatic implants where they place the rods into the sinuses. It was very painful but I would go through it again without hesitation. Because of the bone loss, I would not have been able to have regular implants that are placed in the jaw.
They are so comfortable and I am able to eat everything, including corn on the cob. In fact, it is like having your own teeth.
My doctor, Guy Lanzi, is in Haddonfield, NJ, and is the oral surgeon for many football and hockey teams. He only does implants. I had the actual denture made by Steven Cohen, a prosthedontist.
I am having my bottoms done which is the simple procedure of just screwing the implants into the jaw.
Do some research first and make sure you have a top notch dentist as they are so expensive but these will last a lifetime and like the other poster said - it is worth every penny.
Good luck to you and if you would like more information, please feel free to e-mail me.

P.S. I am totally not market/investment
savy, but just did what he suggested. I have been with this guy for 12 years and he has made me money in the past, so I just went with what he said.
