As Good As New : A Consumer's Guide to Dental Implants

Until fairly recently, the millions of people each year who suffered from tooth loss had few options for ever again speaking, chewing, and smiling without self-consciousness. Many believed dental implants were nothing more than a dangerous fad, still in the early stages of experimentation.

In his informative new book, As Good As New: A Consumer’s Guide to Dental Implants, Charles A. Babbush, D.D.S., M.Sc.D., has cut through the clutter of confusion surrounding the safety and reliability of dental implants.

The personal anecdotes throughout the book affirm for anyone who is missing teeth the improvement in quality of life that implant dentistry has to offer.
