Leading dental
implant surgeon Charles A. Babbush draws upon his professional
experience and considerable expertise in As Good As New: A Consumer's
Guide To Dental Implants, to present the reading public with an upbeat,
"patient-friendly" guide to the pros and cons of dental implant surgery
as used to restore teeth lost from accidents, sports injuries, or other
causes. Full-color photographs illustrate a quite practical discussion
of determining whether dental implants are right for one, understanding
what to do if something goes wrong with an implant, daily adjustments to
living with implants, and more. As Good As New is very highly
recommended reading for anyone contemplating or seeking to learn more
about dental implant surgery for themselves or members of their family.

BOOK REVIEW (www.midwestbookreview.com)
One of the leading
dental implant surgeons in the world, Babbush has researched dental
implants (metal posts that serve as substitutes for natural tooth roots)
and published his findings in reputable scientific journals since the
early 1960’s. His earlier textbooks include "Dental Implants: The Art
and Science", "Dental Implants: Principles and Practice", and "Surgical
Atlas of Dental Implant Techniques". Now writing for consumers in easy
to understand prose, he shares his findings and experiences. Beginning
with artifacts from more the 1900 years ago, he traces the development
of implant dentistry and then goes on to discuss which patients are good
candidates for implants, how to research a suitable doctor, the actual
procedure, and the likely future of this technology. The tone is
relaxed and reassuring, almost conversational, and the material, which
includes true life anecdotes, is fascinating. While some of the color
photographs of patients who have lost their teeth are a bit shocking,
the after-implant results are inspirational. Highly recommended for all
public libraries, consumer health libraries, and academic libraries that
serve dental schools. —CLEO

patient, I know that readers will find great interest and value in Dr.
Babbush’s lucid presentation. His many years of study, research,
practice, lecturing, and teaching have made him a truly outstanding
leader in this exciting and rapidly growing area of dentistry.”

“This
book makes it crystal clear to the reader what implants are all about.
It offers hope and remedy for so many who thought they had no
alternatives.” —DR. JEROLD
GOLDBERG, Dean, School of Dentistry, Case Western Reserve University
“As Good as New lives up to its
title. A lay reader can readily grasp the principles and practices of
dental implant medicine. The mystery is gone—thanks to the diagnoses,
preparations, and remedies explicit in this welcome book.”
—LOUIS GROSSMAN, Ph. D., Professor
Emeritus of Marketing and Management, Arizona State University
“Down-to-earth is the phrase that
best describes this highly informative book by a seasoned dental implant
practitioner. The personal anecdotes go beyond human interest. They
affirm for anyone who is missing teeth the improvement in the quality of
life that implant dentistry has to offer.”
