Dental Implant- broke toof

[Old School 360]

Anyone experience a dental implant?

Broke a damn toof last night- looks like Im going to let them drill a hole in my jaw so they can run a screw up in there and eventually mount a man made toof.

 

Sounds focking painful.

 

And yeah - the old toof broke. It was a crown. No sign of decay, but it snapped.

 

Getting old is not for sissies

I had a girl that worked for me. We call her old green tooth. Because she could afford the stem. Which was green by the way. But could never get around to affording the actual tooth. I think she would have look better with just a gap. Instead, this green post just sticking out of the top of her job seemed awfully weird.

 

So I bought her a box of Chiclets.

I've had a few them. Spent 30k on teeth in past 5 years.

Not a big deal. Pain isn't that bad.

Use one of these. http://megateeth.com/product/megalodon_shark_tooth_teeth/mega450-High+Quality+Megalodon+Tooth

They are a lot stronger and cost a little less.

Ok, well Im a Dentist in DC who placed and restores implants.

 

 

Sooo,

 

Real simple, teeth break all the time. Sometimes due to a large filling making a tooth weak. Sometimes from severe clenching and grinding.

 

So if the tooth is broken and inrestorable with a root canal and a crown, then an implant is the best option.

 

Good thing is 15 year survival rate of an implant is 95%. Survival rate of a routine crown that we do is 90% at 10 years. So implants are stronger than even natural crowns on teeth as they can never get cavities.

 

If the tooth is simply broken, it is possible to place the implant at the same time as they take out the tooth. Its wuicker and faster this way. Probably need some bone grafting as well. 3-4 mi the later , we can make you a crown that looks like your old tooth, and if its well done, will feel the same.

 

If there is an infection in he bone, we then need to take out the tooth, graft the site, wait 10weeks and the. Place the implant as you need the area to be healthy.

 

Most of my patients on the next day dont even need to take pain meds since we use a computer guided surgery system that eliminates having to cut the gums open to see the bone. We take a 3D scan and use a cad cam guide to place it through a small hole in the gums.

 

Let me know if u got any questions.

The entire medical field is a scam!

 

 

 

I'm simply going to buy some ivory off the black market and craft my own set of choppers.
