Early last May I was eating a salad and broke a tooth...I knew immeiadiatily that the tooth was done for...sure nough....however it took until the end of June to get into the Implant Denist..I had a previous tooth that was extracted after biting down on a Kalmata Olive (wt pit). So for that one they needed to do a sinus lift...all told about $6500...

While waiting for the appointment the broken tooth really didn't hurt much, as it was pretty stable..but OHHHHH BOY when it did it was about 15 minutes of agony...the bright side was I lost about 6 pounds...(That DDS is rated as one of the best in LV, and is booked solid) The thinking was to do it all at once...

Anyway I dreaded the implant surgery...once after being out I felt a far away pain and thought I'll moan to let him know..they then turned up the gas and the next thing I remember is them getting me up and walking me to the front desk where I saw a wheelchair...and thought "ohhh thats nice, I think I will need that"...the next thing I really remember is waking up in my reclining chair at home...

Surprise surprise I FELT NO PAIN DURING OR AFTER THE IMPLANT SURGERY...only a bit of sorness due to the stiches after a week.

Fast forward...today the tooth is MUCH better...hardly anything...YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

However this week the DDS has done the impressions for the implant crowns...another $3300......Geezus...

It is expensive but permanent..
