Getting my Implants

I’ve been told since I was in my 30’s that I would lose all my teeth. Although my teeth are yellow , I was a smoker but quit almost 2 years ago my teeth don’t look so bad. I am seeing more gaps over the years. I had a fear of going to the dentist and would sometimes avoid going for a long time. I’ve had many deep cleanings and some bone grafts. I finally found a dentist and hygienist that I love going to. If it wasn’t for them I probably would not be having this done. I was going to shop around for the implants but knew I would feel more comfortable at somewhere I wasn’t just a number. My biggest fear in all of this is having to have all my teeth pulled. The stigma that I feel over having no teeth is what has held me back. I’ve been reading and watching you tube videos and am feeling better. The only thing my dentist didn’t discuss was that I wouldn’t be able to eat so many things after having my temps. I’ll need to call him as my surgery is on the 10th.

Tomorrow is my surgery. I’ve been reading and watching videos. I feel ready but still nervous. I have a few questions to ask the dentist so I’ll be calling him first thing in the morning . I have to have 2 wisdom teeth pulled along with my other teeth and I’m more worried that I’ll have more pain from those .

I had my implants in yesterday. I took the Halcion and once I got there I don’t remember much. I remember leaving and going home but after that I just slept. I would wake up and do the ice packs but I still look like a chipmunk. I have had no pain just soreness and have only taken 2 of the Motrin 800. Since my mouth is swollen I don’t know how my teeth really look. I can only open my mouth a little bit. I have an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow. I will update after
