....because it's been a looooonnnnngggg time comin. last winter, my tooth chipped. i mean, it was down to just a tiny bit of tooth left (too many m&m's). so, i guess it was time to hunt down a good dentist in the area. i asked my neighbor for any ideas, and she told me about her "handsome greek God" of a dentist...ok, dokie! that's all well, and good...but, i need a GOOD dentist! so, i made an appointment with her 'greek God'....and what do ya know? he's not only handsome, but he's a damn good dentist to boot...not many of those around.... so, long story short...last february, i had my tooth pulled and filled with some kind of bone stuff. he said it had to sit and heal and harden for at least 3-6 months. geeezzz.....so, needless to say, i had a toothless grin for over 6 months! finally, in Sept, he said it healed/hardened enough to drill the implant. thank you God.
i asked him to send me a picture via email of my implant. i think it is the most daunting thing.....and it felt as strange going in....i'm thinking it's what a piece of sheet rock must feel like being screwed to a stud!
