I suggest going to the dentist to consult before implant. This will not only help you with the guidance but also to understand the way dental implant works pre & post the implant. There’s no harm in consulting, so you need not be scared about it. Once you get the clear picture for implant, you can decide yourself. The only important thing you need to do is going to a proper dental care center or a dental clinic where they have highly skilled & trained dentist along with the quality & success rate they had in their previous dental implant cases.
