Good luck with the procedure. It won't be as bad as you fear. In terms of after care rinse with corsodyl and/or salt water. Use an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas will do regularly for the first 3 days and take ibruprofen if you can for the first few days also. An extra pillow at night to keep your head more elevated. All this should help keep the swelling down. No doubt the clinic will provide you with more specific instructions. Just take it easy for a few days also and get used to enjoying your new teeth and smile.

I have Scleroderma with crest first thing attacked was my bones in my ja I had all my teeth pulled out and implants put in at the cost of $150,000 the lower in plants are put in I'm not happy with the Forefront he put them too close together so it's a bridge and the for lower or not separate very painful digging into the skin the upper I still have a bridge because they found a hole in my heart and an aneurysm and I have a brain aneurysm so they won't work on my teeth right now because I keep having Strokes this is been going on for 5 years I started off with two doctors that ripped me off and I really probably didn't need them all pulled well I ended up getting my money back from them or they were going to have a major lawsuit started with another dentist who is cocky and he's not doing it properly and put in the metal into the tooth and I'm getting ripped off and he has Ben paid 45000 and he's not getting the rest till it's finished so it's cost more than 150 because I ended up in the

the porcelain so it's not discolored the white teeth on the bottom or fine but the upper teeth are stained and he's going to fix the lower Bridge there's a gap I can stick my tongue through and it shouldn't be like that but he's one lucky son of a [RS bleep] he got all the equipment because I probably told him to he loves my father my father is very influential and has a lot of power and he's

Nightmare! Sorry to hear about your disappointment. Hang in there though as it will be still worth it in the long run.

I'm so sorry! I can only imagine how tough that was! Hang in there, you'll soon have a smile to match your beautiful face!

Oh NO... Sorry to hear !! They may have had to have taken me out on a stretcher, I would have fell in the floor!!! Hang in there!!
My whole experience has been a nighmare, & I still have 6 months before surgery!!! Scared to death too!!!

I have never shown any emotions around my grandchildren. My teeth were horrible so I would never smile around them. I won't go to any of their programs for fear that I would embarrass them. I have dentures and hate them. It never fails everytI me we are out in public they slide around and fall out. I would do anything to have dental implants unfortunately I can't afford them. I have nine grandchildren ranging between ages 13 down to 14 months. I would live to go on class trips vacations and any type of activities with them, but I just won't chance hurting them by embarrassing them. I have heard wonderful results and I hope you are happy with yours.

You are going to be great!!! I was so scared and really nervous about everything!!! Not easy but not what we make it up to be in our heads. Please ask any questions you may have.

It is the best decision you have made for yourself. It will amaze you. It will change your life for the best. Good Luck
