Definitely!
I worked for an oral surgeon office for 8 years and I NEVER had a patient come back because of a failed implant. Now depending on where you go and how many you get they can be costly but it's just like having your real tooth. Some Dentists do all the work and some only do the post then you have to go to another dentist for the actual tooth part. Some will so the entire process in one day others draw it out over a few months. Like Papa said it's cheaper in Mexico but not sure how they do the procedures there.

Interesting, ok, do you have to take some kind of special antibiotic every now and then? Because don't they take out nerves that aid blood flow somehow?

For an inplant? No nerve removal. They drill a small hole into your bone, place a post, your bone will grow around the post, an antibiotic is giving at time of procedure but after that you shouldn't have to take it periodically.

OK good to know. Wow that is actually a much better option then it sounds like. Why do they always do root canals?

Unfortunately some people can't get implants due to severe bone loss so the dentist will suggest a root canal. Also if a patient has diabetes or really high blood pressure then the Dr. will suggest it.

OK why is it dangerous then?

That last part didn't come out right. If a patient has diabetes or HBP precautions may be taken like antibiotics (diabetes) and HBP needs t be under control if NOT then root canals will be suggested because Doc doesn't want to take the chance of the patient having a heart attack while in the chair. Most people are nervous and stressed when they come to the dentist but someone with HBP can be doubled. So that's why it can be dangerous for them.

OK makes sense yeah. You know a lot about this. I made an appointment today to see a prosthodontist tomorrow. It is my front teeth and I think my previous dentist said implants are harder on the front teeth. Maybe I can just get a temporary solution again for now without spending too much money. The consultation is about 40 USD but if they do a scan for implants it is another 120 USD the personal assistant told me today.

Here is some information from on implants from the office I used to work at:
A dental implant is a titanium implant post anchored into the jawbone as replacement for a missing natural tooth root and into which an artificial tooth is attached. The implant is held in place by new born growth stimulated by the anchor. The outcome is a very strong and stable tooth that is like a natural tooth. Generally, the placement of dental implants involves two separate surgical procedures. First, the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone. The implant itself is not visible and may need months for the bone and implant to heal together, a process called osseointegration. After osseointegration, your surgeon will perform a simple procedure to uncover the implant and attach a small post. This will serve as an anchor upon which your general dentist will place the artificial tooth. In some cases treatment may require only one surgical procedure and patients can have teeth placed almost immediately.

OK sounds like a plan. Better than root canal. By why would someone have a missing natural root in the first place?

It could have been knocked out, pulled, and some people never develop a certain tooth or teeth. One girl I worked with only had 1 upper "K9" tooth she never developed the other one when growing up so she had an implant placed. Some people only develop moloars but not premolars.
