You'll be fine; it doesn't hurt the get an implant. It hurt me worse having my tooth pulled, or when I had a deep filling. There's really nothing you need to do, other than go in and get the implant & do all the follow up appointments. You don't need to start drinking protein drinks or anything. I heard it's bad to smoke & can ruin the outcome; I don't know why it would, but I have read that. I know what you mean about having a mouth full of fillings, but try to do better at this point to take better care of your teeth if that's what happened. Go get the implant. Implants last a long, long time so if you take care of it you will be fine. Implants are really the only way to go if at all possible. You sound like you're young & healthy hopefully so honestly it will be OK. It's like getting another tooth, one that won't get decayed even.
