They really worked my gums down again during the procedure which is where all the swelling is coming from. Overall, I’m feeling nowhere near as bad as the second where they really packed me full of grafting and I had a really tough recovery.
Dr. Stone buried the implant and packed in more bone grafting so I do not have an abutment yet. The RN said there was good torque when they placed the implant.
I go back in 3 months to place the abutment which will involve a minor procedure and I hope they can test the implant to be sure it is strong enough at that time as well. It’s sounding like I will also need tissue training and temporary crowns before the final crown is placed.
There have been some speed bumps, but Dr. Stone is working hard so I have none or really minimal pink on my new crown. Everyone I speak with says he is the best.
And these were delivered today - From Dr. Stone, my surgeon and Dr. Roehleder, my general dentist who will make my crown and do tissue training if needed.
A really nice surprise. They are gorgeous.
I may just have new teeth by Thanksgiving! ❤️
