Implant Progress
Monday I had the healing post put on my implant. It was a very quick and simple appointment. He had scheduled it for 40 minutes. It took me only 45 minutes to drive to the dentist, have it done, and get back to work! And it's a good 8 - 10 minute drive each way!
I NEVER have to wait so I was seated as soon as I got there. He had a new nurse with him and his normal nurse, so it was a packed room! He put the q-tip with the local anesthetic so that he could numb me up. He told the new nurse that he always give a shot of stuff "A" first to dull the pain, then he gives the shots of stuff "B" to actually numb you (can't remember the medical terms!). He said the "B" stuff stings, so he likes to give the other stuff first. He gives me the shot of "A" and asks if it hurts at all. I told him that I was still numb over there from the jaw surgery.
Well, that made it MUCH simpler! He goes "Really?!?! Well, let me know if this hurts and I'll give you more novocain." You should have seen the new nurses face! It was priceless! He told her that I would be fine. He never needs to use a lot on me and that I was "tough"! So he exposed the post, cleaned it out, took some pictures, puts the healing cap on, took some more pictures and sends me on my way! He has been taking LOTS of pictures through the whole process. He gives lectures on how to do implants and he said I was a "unique" case to study. I should ask him to give me a deal on it since he is using my pictures!!!
I go back in two weeks for impressions, then three weeks after that I get the final implant!!! The healing post is larger then I thought it would be, but I guess it's getting me used to having a tooth there again!
Here's some pics of the newest metal in my mouth!

oh wow that looks almost scarry! Cant wait to see the final tooth!
That looks massive. It's like you have a steel dowel in your mouth.
Must have cost heaps but glad to hear there is some progress.
LOL! You guys are funny! Yes, it is HUGE. And now that you say it Jen, it does look like a steel dowel! And it did in fact cost heaps! Which of course the insurance company isn't paying for. They will pay for part of the cap, but none of the implant. Go figure! Gotta LOVE those insurance companies!
Hi there!
I just wanted to say that blogs like yours have been a huge inspiration to get my own started. I'll be getting jaw surgery this summer.
That implant post looks incredibly painful, but I guess it's nothing compared to jaw surgery! hehee
Good luck and hope to talk to ya' some more!
Looks impressive!
Sounds like you have a great dentist!
How's the appliance going?
Hi Tara, thanks for your post on my blog. Your healing cap looks just like mine. I have yet to post a picture of what my implants look like (other than the xray) but my surgeon put the healing caps on at the time of the surgery. I thought mine just stuck out so far b/c of all of the gum loss I've had, but they don't stick out that much more than yours. Aren't you glad you are almost there, at least with the implant. Good luck, I will check back with you in a couple of weeks. Maybe we will both have our crowns placed onto our implants at the same time. M
Kam, I am glad that our blogging is giving you inspiration! Whithout my jaw blogging buddies, I have NO idea how I would have made it thought all of this.
The implant really isn't that bad at all! It looks MUCH worst then it really is!
Off to go check your blog out! Good luck, and please feel free to ask any questions you have!
Kiwikaren, the appliance is going good! It has definetly moved the teeth closer, so that's a big plus! I go to the ortho on Wednesday, so I'll post how that appointment goes! Thanks for asking!
Mary, good luck getting your crown. I can't wait for this whole ordeal to be over with!
that is just weird! It looks like something you'd use to construct furniture! Your dental procedures are always so interesting! LOL
This looks pretty nice there. In my case the orthodontist decided to close the gap with the braces and not do any implants. To be honest I just didn't want this together with the normal ortho treatment ..
Your teeth look very nice, good job so far. ;)
The white line besides your teeth, is that where the incision for your jaw surgery was made? If so, how long was it?
Yes, those white lines in the gums beside my teeth are where the incisions where! Honestly, I am not really sure how long they were since I couldn't really see in there until the stitches were out (too swollen and sore). But it went from higher then the jaw joint, down and around to where you see! So pretty long!
Yea, that's pretty long. Mine runs from the last molar to about the next. About 2 cm long.
Hey Tara -- thanks for the comment on my blog. Are you going to update a picture with your crown?
M
Is it a painful implant?
smile!

Hey Tara,
I'm Brandon from the Jaw Surgery Blog.
I just wanted to congratulate you on a successful surgery, and it would be a great help to others and future patients that are going to be going through the same thing you did if you could share your story and experience.
I'd love to get as many people to share their story as possible in one organized place, so people just like us won't be as scared, and they too can have a successful surgery.
All you have to do is write a quick summary of how the process was for you, in as much or as little detail as you like. For example, you could include how you felt right before surgery, how you felt after, what the sensations were like, what you wish you had known before, or anything else you can think of that will make the process a little bit easier for someone else.
To help, just go here:

If you have any questions at all or trouble posting your story, just let me know, and I'll be glad to help you help others!
Thanks again,
Brandon

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

I think this is a clean job done after all.The surgical procedures need to be done by a specialist surgeon and anesthesia is also necessary in most cases.Good that it all went on well.
