Need to Replace Front Tooth Crown - Cheshire, CT

So I'm done and the new tooth feels great. This has been the most traumatic experience of my life, I can't tell you how awful it feels to see yourself without a front tooth. You cant even imagine what it does to your self esteem. And to know your husband and kids saw you that way. I still can't believe that this is the problem that I have been faced with. I know almost everyone has something wrong but it upsets me so much that this is my issue. When you are missing a tooth birve me, everything you thought was important in life, no longer is. Having a tooth in the front of your mouth becone the only thing you can think about. I am so happy to not have to take out and put back the flipper. I have some concerns. First the dr said my gums will start to settle around the tooth and it will eventually not look longer than the others when the gums settle. The same with the tooth next to it. Those gums receided up a bit because of all the work. I really hope the gums come down a bit. Also I was surprised that the inside of the tooth was metal, it was of course covered in porcelain. But I was surprised that I wasnt given the option of all porcelain. I'm not even sure that it was a possibility. I really would like your thoughts on how these teeth look. Would you live with them? Or are there small changes you would make?

Ok so I had 3 consults and prices were all around the same only one guy who was the most expensive wanted to do bone grafting first but I didn't choose him because the other 2 said bone grafts weren't necassary. And I hate dental work. And want to be done with this as quick as possible. I went with a dr Michael wiener in west haven, ct. I had to wait for the extraction site to heal for a few months before I could even get the implant. Then the day of the implant I had to pay half(about 2k) I have been scared of this process all along. It must have aged me 10 years, it's all I think about. I must be a crazy person for doing this and boobs in the same time period. But I needed to get both done. And want to forget about them both. I hate mouth work and the implant process was awful but thankfully it was quick, maybe a half hour. He screwed a screw type thing in my jaw bone. He said bone grafts weren't neccesary. He does these things every day so I trusted him. Boy I hope he is right. Then after that day I had to wait a few months more for the dental implant to heal and intergrate with my bone. Thank god I was able to use my flipper through all this. I would never have left his office without a tooth. So last week I paid the other half and he opened up the implant site to add the abutment but paid special attention to my gums in the way he cut it open so I can hopefully make my permanant tooth look more real in the way it heals, by bringing the gum forward so the "root" of the implant doesn't show. Tomorrow I am going to do impressions for permanant tooth. Wish me luck! I really hope this goes well and that I can live the rest of my life without anymore trauma to these teeth!

Had the first 2 steps of dental implant done(implant & abutment) going wed to get impressions. Then I'll be fixed! What a long process! Worst thing I ever did was break my teeth!
