I've been having dental issues for the past few years also. My 4 front lower teeth have been loose with increasing pain in that area. I had them removed earlier this year, did HBO again, and now I'm waiting for the OK for a bridge. The plan is a 10-tooth bridge involving the 3 teeth on each side of the 4 missing teeth.
Aside from the 4 front teeth, my remaining lower teeth are in good shape. I was told initially that implants were not an option, although recently some of my doctors said "maybe".
I know a few people that have had implants on their back teeth, but none involving the front teeth, so I'm curious which teeth your husband is having implants.
I hope all goes well with your husband, and please keep us posted.
