Odontophobia is an accepted and completely real thing, classified in the Diagnostical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as fear of the dentist. Many people are afraid of having someone poke sharp metal objects into their mouth. Unfortunately, those who avoid the dentist as a result of this fear often incur significant dental problems that can seriously wreak havoc on the health of that person.
Interestingly, human babies begin developing teeth as soon as six weeks after conception. Those teeth are obviously lost to make room for permanent adult teeth, but you should have those teeth forever. Fortunately, if someone goes too far and loses them, there are a lot of dentists who can carry out cosmetic dental work.
One major component of cosmetic dental procedures is the use of dental implants. Dental implants are placed into the bone socket of a missing tooth. During the healing time, the jaw actually heals around the implant, securing it into place and in essence, replacing any and all teeth you may have lost.
Most dentists can do mini implant dental work. Mini implant dental work is almost half the price of regular dental implants, and can be equally as effective, regardless of whether you need a few teeth replaced or an entire row. The first thing you have to do is find a cosmetic dentist, then discuss with that dentist your possibilities for dental work. Dental implants, however, have a 98 percent success rate, and can last a lifetime.
The top cosmetic dentists can do the best dental work, obviously, but it is always up to the customer to pick what he or she wants. If you are struggling with low quality teeth or lack of teeth, it never hurts to consult a cosmetic dentist and improve your quality of life. With titanium based dental implants, you will be able to eat whatever you want again.

I lost my teeth a few years ago and after I got dental implants, I felt so much better. It made me so happier and so much more confident, and I could eat steak and apples again.
I was surprised to learn that my dental insurance covered the surgery for me to get dental implants. Also surprisingly, it was not painful at all.
