[Trombone-l] Dental Implants

[Peter Hanmore]

Edgar,
About 15 (maybe more) years ago, I had post & crowns done on my 3 front 
upper teeth.  All 3 teeth had previously had root canals and one was 
noticeably discoloured.  The work has held up wonderfully and I have not 
had any adverse impact on my playing because of it.  I do find that my 
gums are receding a bit, which causes a bit of concern, but no major 
problem so far.  I wouldn't hesitate to get the work done again.
I'm not sure if there are better options out there now - what is 
involved with implants?

Peter.
