Implants. Definitely. I have two which are well worth the roughly $2,000 each that I paid for them maybe five years ago. The oral surgeon said they would give me at least 85% of my chewing capacity back. He was right.

Re-read what Ron and jimmyt are saying. That's pretty much the way I saw it, though I must say I hadn't made the Pamela Anderson connection!

They are basically trouble free. Since they are the two rear lower molars, I opted for the metal caps as they would be both cheaper and sturdier. Jimmyt's 5C comment is especially critical, since I am missing the two teeth in front of each.
