[RL] So I went and got all my remaining teethies pulled and implants put in. I will be paying for it for the rest of my life, and also right now I looked like the Hulk punched me in the mouth. But I'll have teeth again, yay!

They all rotted out due to meds, so it has been a long time coming and I finally had the last good one break so I had literally no chewing tooth.

Ugh, well, at least implants are worth it. I have two because I was congenitally deficient.

They are, I'm excited to have teeth again. It's just a temporary now and I get the actual teeth in about four months. I'm glad you got the two you needed too, then.

The only thing is that it's sometimes really hard if things get trapped between the gumline and the actual tooth.

There are potential spots real teeth wouldn't have depending on how well the socket forms.

Ohh. Does the waterpik help?

Definitely.

It's more that it can be irritating and you get used to learning which foods might get caught where, just like with real teeth.

ah, I gotcha. :-)
Spookitty
2024-07-02T21:45:26.000Z
And there are spots that wouldn't exist because teeth are solid, and you're now wearing something that's attached to a bolt.

I had one exciting episode, but luckily the crown failed because the pin going into the implant failed, and nothing with the implant itself.

And the initial surgery was a pain because the orthodontist and the surgeon couldn't coordinate what to do so there were a lot of questions about the loss of bone density.

2024-07-02T21:51:07.000Z
ahh. apparently i had a good amount of bone to work with, so it didn't need grafts or anything.

Yeah, and i know they've made advances in how the anchoring works.

Just stay on top of the pain meds for the first couple of days.
lorax
2024-07-02T21:59:11.000Z
Yeah, I'm nicely medicated.
Spookitty
2024-07-02T22:00:43.000Z
I got lucky I could just live on the couch the first couple days and be handed soup and such.

If there's a place you can get shaved ice, that was my favorite recovery food.

damn that's so scary! good for you, hopefully you will feel a lot better having done it

Oh yeah, that's a good idea. My sister's going out, I'll have her pick some up!

Halfbloodly I was put under mostly, so I don't really remember it. I was pretty nervous going in though!

what is the difference between these ones and the ones you'll have in four weeks?

I legit know absolutely nothing about this so!

The ones I'll get recently are better made, to last for four months while I heal. Then the finals go in, which are zarconica and very strong and will also be more tailored to me in turns of shade and such.

Shaved ice was better than ice cream or apple sauce because it was cold enough to numb, but easy on an empty stomach. Smoothies were also good.

Yeah, I got some stuff to make smoothies, so I'll do that in the morning.
