If you’ve been considering dental implants, chances are this question has crossed your mind:
“Are dental implants really worth the cost and effort?”
It’s a fair question. After all, implants can be a significant investment, and they’re not a quick fix like a filling or a cleaning.

I once had a patient in her 60s who told me:
“I wish I’d done this 20 years ago. I didn’t realise how much my missing teeth were stealing my joy.”
