I knew someone who had a genetic defect that meant that he had a malformed face and only had 2-3 natural teeth ever grow in. We discussed his issues, and that the implanted teeth would need /more/ meticulous care than regular teeth, because there is so much that can go wrong with them, being non-natural parts of the body. Though I feel your pain of dental work. As I'm writing this, the lidocaine is wearing off after my second to last dental visit to repair rather significant dental problems myself. Definitely worth the pain in the long run.
