2) If an implant fails can it be removed and replaced?
3) When do they expect FDA approval? Why haven't they received it after over a decade?
4) Why is it only a single tooth procedure? Have they never tried to replace a row of teeth?
5) Who are the primary customers to date (how many and where from)? If these are foreigners traveling for the procedure, why don't they offer details on how to go about scheduling the trip/travel and the procedure/stay?
1) It's never possible to get a guarantee! Everyone's medical situation is different, so the outcome is very dependent on the individual. My situation was bad, and this was clearly explained to me at the time. (I followed instructions to the letter, and took good care of my implant; it all worked out.)
2) The first few weeks are critical: if the implant fails (ie. falls out), the procedure can be attempted again. If it's a complete failure, no damage was done, and one can opt instead for a regular screw-type implant.
3) FDA approval: other zirconia implants are already approved. A few years back, we got quite far with the BioImplant application, but other (medically unrelated) issues intervened, which I can't really discuss here. However, I agree: it's a top priority.
4) It's currently only medically proven for single tooth replacement. Research and trials are needed for multiple teeth.
5) The patients come from all over the world, wealthy and otherwise. I don't know exact numbers; I seem to recall it's in the hundreds, but you should phone to be sure. The other details: schedule, procedure, are all sorted out by telephone or email. Usually an X-ray or CT scan is the first thing to send.
