I read your article about options, and have some feedback from my own experience. I have found a holistic dentist who has been wonderful with me, helping me make healthy choices and get through 3 extractions, 2 implants, and a Carlson bridge in the last 2 years.
I now have 2 ceramic implants – no metal involved. I had a bone scan after the first one, was diagnosed with osteopenia and osteoporosis, and started taking a bone support supplement. By the time I had my second implant surgery, my dentist told me the bone was so hard she had a really tough time drilling!
Besides needing the extractions due to infections under each tooth, my teeth had started becoming more and more crowded as they moved towards the center. Incisors that used to be straight started turning from the pressure. I have too much gum recession for clear aligners to be a safe option (I’m 73). I decided on implants instead of bridges because I did not want to damage surrounding healthy teeth, and my dentist offers ceramic implants. Also, the implants being second molars, they will help curb the movement of my other teeth towards center.
I was using your products before I found my dentist. With her support, and your Smile, Shine, and Healthy Mouth Blend with a Bass toothbrush, I literally got a standing ovation at my last checkup, from my dentist, hygienist, and their assistant. My gums are healthier, cavities have been remineralized, and my dedication has paid off.
Thank you for all the education you’ve made available. You’ve helped me achieve so much and I am really, really grateful.
