I just got back from my appointment to get my implant crowns. I now have my two lower right molars! ?
The dentist wasn’t happy with the front tooth crown, so he wants to send it back. The color was a little light and the abutment was metal and he said it showed through dark at my gums, so he wanted to get a zirconia abutment instead. So I have to wait until March 24 to get that one now. I also had an issue where my gums were not “stretched” enough for the crown. He didn’t want to laser the gums and remove tissue so he put in a larger healing cap to help stretch them. He ended up having to give me shots to numb the area as soon as he started trying to place the crown, as it hurt a lot! That was due to the gums not stretching enough.
So I have molars, which is exciting! My mouth is very, very sore right now, but I can’t wait to eat on that side again!
