Toughest decision ever made...

Yourvteeth look great. Happy your doing so well

Thank you! I’m glad you’re doing well also.

Thank you for posting. I’ve been going through the consultation process but teeth hurt all the time now. Hoping to be able to get dentures supported on fixed implants rather than snap ones but most of the process should be the same. Trying to keep from going crazy from the pain until full mouth extraction can be done, which could be a month or so out yet.

Thank you! You give me hope! I have been so afraid that the painful teeth would affect being able to have the extractions and getting the implants put in. I have been using the measures you mention, plus ice, the saltwater rinses and baking soda paste, and have been on antibiotics twice. Your situation closely mirrors my own so I know I can hang on until I can have this done. Your teeth look awesome! Again, thanks for sharing your journey.

Yes, you will be fine. Just keep busy so the time will fly by fast. Let me know how it goes, I’ll be praying. for you.

They look great. I remember looking at mine the next day but really didn’t get to see them because I had swelling and couldn’t open my mouth that well. 2 weeks now and I’m feeling good.

I’m glad you’re feeling better, my mouth is still sore, but I know it will take awhile.

I have a few tender spots and few more bruises popped up, its a lot better then I expected. I already can’t wait for the permanent, I don’t like the roof of the mouth covered. I’m going to try to stick with soft food. I’m so glad you’re doing so well!

Sorry about some of the spelling and grammar I use the talk to text feature On my phone and it doesn’t always come out right.

I just had the all my teeth removed and temp implants in on the 10th. I had Periodontol disease with a lot of bone loss. Although my teeth didn’t look so bad I was having lots of pain an had lost a few teeth. The pills they have you take before the surgery are great. You don’t remember a thing. I never had any bad pain but did get a lot of swelling bruising , I only used the Motrin and didn’t need the Norco. I don’t like taking lots of meds so that’s good for me. Today is day five and I’m starting to feel better. Then I went to my 2 day follow up I hadn’t really seen with my teeth because of the swelling. I did mention that I thought my top teeth were a little bit crooked and the doctor agreed. Now that I can see my teeth better there is a lot of things that I’m not happy with them about how they look. My doctor gave me his number to text so if I have any problems but I’m just going to wait until I have my appointment with him next week . I really like my dentist and everyone in the office and I could have gone elsewhere but I have complete faith in him and that’s important to me because I’ve always had a fear of going to dentist. I am not sure why the temps are not that great and I hope this isn’t an indication of what my permanent teeth will be like . But I doubt it because he to seems like a perfectionist and as much money as I spent I will make sure they are what I want. I have gone back-and-forth between the permanent and the snap ons and my dentist did tell me that I can change my mind if I decide to so we’ll see. Good luck with your procedure and let me know if there’s anything I can answer for you.

Thank you for letting me know how your procedure went, that makes me feel good to hear about other people‘s experiences. My dentist said that the temporary teeth are just that and you pretty much get what they give you and they can make some adjustments if needed and stuff but most of them aren’t that great, so I’m expecting them not to be very good. But as far as the permanent ones, they have you try on different looks and decide which ones you like the best and have them made, He also said with the permanent teeth that the teeth are dropped into the fake gum and it makes it look more like real teeth, so I don’t really know but I think they’re going to be great and I think your permanent teeth are going to be great too,. I’ve heard a lot of people aren’t too happy with their Temps. but that’s what they are there just temporary teeth. So are you going with the snap on or are you going with the fixed? I see the positive on both of them. I did get me a water pick and I’ve been using it and it works great I got the kind that doesn’t have a hose it’s just one unit and you just hold it like a electric toothbrush and squirt it through your teeth , so I’ll be used to it to use for the enbutments To keep them clean. I’ve been trying to keep everything really clean and sanitized in there to make it so it will be nice for when they do it and help prevent any complications. let me know how your teeth are going and Send some pictures when you get your permanent ones. I’m hoping I won’t have to use the Norco either but it’s nice to have it on hand just in case. My teeth have been in so much pain lately it’s going to be such a relief!
