No. You will not have to choose between that at all. I have to say that I am a little annoyed at your dentist for not giving you all of \u00a0your options. In fact, it is unethical.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of other options available to you that are more affordable<\/a>. \u00a0Did your dentist ever mention to you a dental bridge or a removable partial denture?<\/p>\n

Both of those options are more affordable than a dental implant. If your dentist will only give the most expensive option, you should find a different dentist.<\/p>\n
