Default Dental implant experiences

I have recently been told by my dentist that I need dental implants for my two top front teeth. Due to trauma when younger my roots have not grown properly and over the past couple of years have begun to shrink. Therefore when I found two tiny abscesses (which do not hurt) above my front teeth I was told a root canal would not work as I have no roots there. My dentist has always warned me that this would happen but as I am only 25 and my teeth are in excellent condition I am terrified at the thought of surgery. I have been referred to a private hospital as I was told the NHS will not pay.
I am due to have my first consultation soon and I am petrified about my treatment plan and surgery etc. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Need my mind putting at ease!!!! I am having nightmares at the thought of it.

Thank you x
