He starts out with a small drill bit and works up to three progressively larger ones before he taps it, like you might do with metal. Dang, I always have taken care of my teeth! Its called getting old. . I feel like crap.... Hydrocodone....

He taps the bone and doesn't put a threaded insert in? Wow. I'm going to go floss right now
