fell behind in updates. Visit 1: I had my final impressions done. Not much to tell about them, but at that appointment My wife and I chose the final teeth shape,size and shade. Visit 2: This was my first wax try in. The teeth themselves looked great, but I wanted the front top teeth brought in a little and the dentist took a few bite impressions for some changes there. Visit 3: Second wax try in. changes were spot on and both the dentist and I were satisfied. Up until this time there were two weeks in between each appointment. The next step is to have the bar for the finals made and the teeth put on the bar in wax for one final try in. this step take about three weeks. so I am at two weeks now. They will call when the teeth are ready and schedule me. The teeth are Ivoclar Blueline and they look great. I guess that about catches me up. Hopeful that my try in goes well and the following appt. will be for my final install. Its been a long six months and I have had ups and downs. I have lost 30 pounds (good and bad), have broke my temps a few times. Dr. Iskandar didnt seem upset he just repaired them, became short with family members at times(sorry), but would do it again if needed. All my pain has been gone for about a month, so no more phantom tooth aches or numbness anywhere. Will post a pic when my finals are in.

Beginning of the end (4 month check)

Had my 4 month check up and was told that the implants look good. They took 1 set of impressions and I will return in 2 weeks for the next set. Hopefully within a month I will be at the wax try in stage. It just makes you feel relieved to have the Dr. tell you that things are going as the way they should. I still have a little numb feeling in the nose area but other than that no discomfort.

Nothing exiting. Days go by slowly and the weight comes off. Can you tell I'm hungry.
As for the update I chipped one of my lower teeth by grinding while asleep so I went in a few days early. They went ahead and replaced the tooth while the dentures were out for stitches removal. Nothing loose and no pain during maint. They took molds for a night guard and will mail it to me after its made. A charge was never mentioned.
I've had some gum pain on the front outside. We are just watching for now. Nothing obvious can be seen. Nothing that requires meds. Just sensitive to the touch.
Will update more as sonething happens.

Well I made it to the 2 month mark with no major problems. Nothing really to be concerned with at this point. May pain is 99.99 percent gone (I still feel an occasional phantom toothache). My next appointment is on april 11th and if all is good I will start the process of getting my permanent teeth. Am looking forward to the end but am happy I made this decision. Will update as I do the wax try ins and choose teeth shades and shapes.

To be honest I didnt havemuch pain from the extractions. The pain meds work and if you follow instructions as far as icing and take it easy you will be fine.
The fear of the unknown is the worst part.Once you get the procces started you will find that its easier than you thought. You just cant rush things. You want your finals right away but don't let that be the deciding factor when he ask you if you like something or not. If you do a wax try in and Don't like the way they feel or look you need to tell them. It may cast you a week or two in time but what you end up with will be your smile for years.
