I had a lower right, aft most molar implanted for a crack situation. Yes it takes a few trips to the office over about 6-8 months if I recall. Personally the implant was not a big deal.
Tooth pulled and some bone chips installed in the resulting hole
I refer to them as magic bone dust.
chips have to ossify?
From that point on it is just like normal thread installation. Insert installed with a healing cap. Pin installed for impressions as a locating post. Tooth made and installed. Might be forgetting something but I think it was all very interesting. I'm the guy who wants a mirror to watch the doc do the work. Not always possible but I want to see.
A plus is the dentist has some cool tools. The neatest was a 4 inch deflection beam torque wrench. I want one...I dont know why. I would never use it but it is still cool.
