I need an implant tooth also. Does it hurt to due the titanium post part of the procedure?

Wow sorry I never saw this question! It's probably too late to answer this... but in case anyone else is wondering... no, it did not really hurt for me. I only felt minor discomfort pain a few days after the procedure but mainly that part was fine. The healing time was determined by my bone density. Some people are able to get their crown fitted on the post the same day. Since I had lower bone density, they did a bone graft which made my healing time the full 4 months. If you can see in my pictures, I had my braces with the Pontic in it. I was able to still wear my braces with the post as it healed because the fake tooth was lower than the post. So I didn't worry about an ugly post and gap the whole time. You could see it peeking out on the very top since the braces don't go all the way up to your gums but... eh.... not a big deal cause it was covered unless I laughed or smiled really big.

Amazing results!

I am currently going through invisalign treatment for the same problem plus I have an underbite. I will also need implants. Did you get a gum or bone graft before/during implants? And are you still happy with your results a few years later? Any problems or things you wish you would have done differently?

Finally over

Specky343
I'm a little late posting this, but this journey is finally over. I got my final crown about 6 months ago. I wasn't used to it at first and there were some problems along the way with the fit and color, but overall I'm happy with the outcome. Looking at my pictures, I've come a long way in a short period of time. I am smiling all the time now :)
Hope this has helped anyone looking to do Invisalign!!

After the Dental Implant

Specky343
So I went to get my post and crown put in on 9-13-13. Unfortunately something went wrong with the ordered temporary crown and it didn't screw in properly to post so I was left with my Invisalign and pontic until 9-21-13 when the replacement part came in. Readers don't be too scared because they let me know it was RARE. Figures...

I attached the picture of what the post looked like and now the temporary. It is not the exact color or size the permanent is going to be but they told me the final will be perfect. I just need to make sure everything healed properly and wait for the crown to be made. I'm guessing it will be another month??

To get the temporary was not difficult at the oral surgeons. It was around 45 mins and I just had local anesthetic.... almost painless. There was a little discomfort after but nothing major. In normal circumstances, I would have left with the temporary crown that day right there.

A little secret....
I starting to drink all the time with my braces on (nothing scorching hot). It's too inconvenient to take them out. I balanced that with regular cleaning though. I used EFFERDENT Power Crystals around every 3 days. It said it was good for retainers and only takes 3 minutes to soak. You can get it at the grocery store or pharmacy. It has been a life saver! It really cleans the trays awesomely! All you do is soak 3 mins and then use a toothbrush on it to scrub a little under water and they come out super clean and fresh!

So... I'll post again when I get my permanent.
