Sorry you are going through this Gina. Yes, I've had an abcess before and it's a good thing you went to the doctor and placed on antibiotics.
You will like the implants, no worries I promise. This is what my hubby and I do all day. We make those implants, the bridges/partials, dentures, and crowns. So, out of your choices the implants are your best choice. Yes they are very costly but worth it in the end.
It's a long process but you wont be dissapointed in the end.
Those antibiotics will kick in soon and you should be feeling better real soon!
