Possible implant surgery coming up (if the rc and new crown can't be done).
I watched pictures of this on youtube and got very freaked out and anxious when I saw they need to use a mouth guard. I cannot tolerate big things in my mouth (like impressions).
Can anyone tell me how big the guard actually is? Is it like an impression? I am so anxious about this. I will never be able to tolerate something like that in mouth for an hour. I get shaking just thinking about it.
Which leads me to my next question - how long is the surgery to put the implant into the bone? Tooth in a #10.
Thanks so much, Sharon
P.S. I do take valium before my appts but I dont' think there will be enough to get me throught the trauma of having something like this in my mouth.
