I have two implants, both of which had cadaver bone implanted to strengthen my own bone,before the implant hardware was implanted.  Once the bone graft healed, the implant hardware was implanted, it healed, and then I had the "crown" put in place.  Like Caroline, I am fighting tooth and nail (pun intended) to keep my teeth.  I have crowns, root canals, implants, and tons of large, deep fillings.  I will go down fighting.  Lol.  It boils down to (a) if you are a good candidate for an implant; (b) you have someone who has a lot of experience with implants; and (c) you're willing to spend the time and money on getting them.  Good luck with whatever you choose to do!!
Sjogren's, Subcutaneous Lupus, Grave's disease so thyroid was irradiated -- instant hypothyroid, Levothyroxine, Restasis, Simvastatin, Omeprazole, and possible Plaquenil, depending on eye test results, blood is okay for Plaquenil
