My husband chose Dunson Dental, downtown Atlanta, for his implants. This doctor seemed to have more expertise than any other place we had been for estimates. He is about a month behind most patients on his healing because he is a diabetic and it's taking a little longer for him to heal. His next appt. is coming up and he should be measured for his new teeth. So far, everything is going great.
Jess, thank you for your advice. Dunson Dental is calling my husband's doctor. That is the first thing they asked for....his dr's phone number so that made me feel good. I'm also going to call him and talk to him (he's my doctor too). I think we are just about ready to proceed with this procedure!
I am posting some of my concerns on Dr. Dunson's site. I will also call them this week. I see above that the "average price" of dental implants is $8400. I wonder how they came up with that price. Our price will be almost double that. I wish hubby would consider a regular dental practice that does implants, but he feels better going to someone that does nothing but dental implants all day. I'm hoping it is true that the more experience a doctor has, the less complications he will have in the future. He is 67 years old and a diabetic, so his age and health are huge factors too.
Could someone tell me what makes the bridge crack? Also about the screw that the doctor can't get out, what made that happen?

We are contemplating using Dunson Dental Design in Atlanta. We did the free consultation and they took x-rays. If anyone has been there that can provide any patient feedback, email me at devonnep@gmail.com. I was impressed by this doctor's concern for my husband's health issues (he's a diabetic and has HBP). I am also impressed with his credentials that I read on the internet. Still need to learn more about warranty, chances of failure, etc. I wish I could get something in writing that will cover all of these issues before signing on the dotted line, and making that first appt. He has an infection that needs to be taken care of and Dr. Dunson was on top of this as well.
Jess, my husband has no bone left except in the front (lower) where he has six teeth, 3 of them are bad, so he has only 3 good teeth left. His back teeth were pulled years ago. I'm still trying to find someone qualified who could give us a less expensive alternative. I am doing some research on snap-on dentures.
