This might get you excited.
I had three implants from Dr. Cohen in St. Louis. First was molar #18 because of periodontal disease and we had to remove the tooth, build up the hole with grafting, sew up the gums and wait 3 months for healing. Then drill and tap for the implant, install implant, sew up the gums and let heal for another 3 months. Then install the abutment onto the implant and over to my regular dentist for the crown.
The last two implants (#29 and #30) were because of a failed bridge that cracked (after almost 40 years) and damaged a supporting tooth. Same thing. Build up the area with grafting, heal for 3 months, drill and tap, install implant, wait 3 months for healing, install abutment, install crowns.
Now you can get the implant, abutment and crown in the same day, but I am not convinced of that procedure. But that is up to the patient and doctor.
One thing is for sure. You will become friends with the nitrous oxide has it will relax you such that you can think about what to do next on your Porsche project and not that there is this guy with sharp instruments in your mouth.
