Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hey Butch, Good luck with the implant. I love mine - have 7 of them now. Opted not to have a root canal on the last tooth (crowned) that went belly up. Been there done that more times then I care to remember. After a while the root canals seem to go belly up. Then I have had the pleasure of surgery to remove the root tip - that did not work and a second surgery ... to many $$$ and mucho pain. I now opt for an implant and forgo the root canals. I'll be 63 this month. Have had permanent tooth removed starting at the tender age of 18 - inherited my mom's bad bones it seems. All of my teeth are have crowns. Some of the crowns have been replaced more then once - add the 7 implants in and I think we have the equivalent of 2+ Toyota Camry's spent at the implant specialist and the dentist. It took 5 months for the implant to be ready to bear the crown. Are you having the surgery in Turkey and then having to get the final work done in the USA - or are you on step two of the process. The only problem I had with the last implant was I had to be toothless for 5 whole months. Not very attractive. -- Be Well, Bobbi Guerra The Purple Sage ~ Bath & Body www.thepurplesage.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got five of those, all have been trouble-free for a long, long time. I quit having dental problems when I quit using commercial toothpaste. Made sure to get gold crowns because they won’t crack. Butch, wishing you the best at the dentist. Oh Gawd, I hate the dentist. -- Version: 7.5.446 / Virus Database: 269.4.0/760 - Release 4/13/2007 8:04 PM -- Version: 7.5.446 / Virus Database: 269.4.0/760 - Release 4/13/2007 8:04 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
