Anyone here had any problems playing after dental implants? (1 Viewer)

Hey all,
Looks like I'm going to have to get an implant to replace a failed/broken, root-canaled tooth. Upper left canine, close to the front. I'm a bit worried about vibration issues afterward - can't imagine that pin will transmit vibrations from the mouthpiece into my skull the same way the natural tooth did. Anybody have any experience, positive or negative, with dentist that close to the mouthpiece?
Thanks in advance.

I had to get an implant for a front tooth a few years back, and I totally get your concerns. I was worried about how it would change things with my playing, but honestly, it didn’t end up being a big deal. The dental implants in NJ took some getting used to, but I found that the vibrations weren’t all that different once I got used to it. It’s important to give yourself time to adjust and maybe work with your dentist to ensure the implant is positioned in a way that minimizes any issues.
