speak for yourself... was probably the most intense pain i ever felt for that half second they touch the red hot instrument against the exposed nerve before it goes completely dead... and the smell of burning flesh isn't that pleasant.
unfortunately mine had to be redone twice because it kept cracking internally.. causing a a boil on the side of my gum that comes and goes, antibiotics wouldn't fix. 2 years ago they said it had to be removed / replaced with implant... been putting it off since it's my only molar on lower left side of mouth. was born missing the outermost molar, so would have to chew with only the right side of my mouth for months like a jackass. should probably suck it up and go get it removed soon... keep having those ed up teeth crumbling dreams because of it. |

Seriously thought about that. But since this was my first implant I didn't want a communication barrier with my dentist & also my current dentist I really trust from doing business with him in the past. Trust is very important.. especially when it comes to teeth. |
Its your money but these offices are at times in places like San Diego and they speak English. |

| When you're under anesthesia they steal your kidney. How else you think they can do it for so cheap? |

Having no kidney will be easily detected. Not falling for that one twice.
You can actually get extra kidneys for cheap in places like pakistan. (you can use more than 2...) weird eh.

I had a root canal done on a tooth then never got it capped & crowned. So now its 5 years later & it had to be dealt with. My options were a bridge or implant. I chose the implant since it was the permenant option. I was awake the whole time but it was uncomfortable.
I really don't understand how people with money can get their whole mouth filled with these things. Its gotta be hell doing a whole mouths worth of implants and it's also hell on the pocket book. So hopefully after a cap & crown 6 months almost $4k later ill have a permenant veneer tooth.
any horror stories? any good stories? |
The thing about implants is that you have to have time , bone and money in order for it to succeed .
4 years ago when I was working as a dental assistant we had this guy come in all the way from Iran, after 8 hours of surgery the periodontist Implanted 20 on him. now that is uncomfortable :eek:
Your doctor seems like a good one since there is a lot of dumbasses out there that will load the crown on the implant after 2 months which goes completely against every principle of osseointegration . |

damn 20 at once is crazy.
Yeah i was pushing for the implant to be crowned sooner but my dentist keeps insisting i wait 6 months. He actually called me from home on his day off too see how i was doing. As i said i did business with him before & he is a pretty good & honest guy. |

It sounds like you weren't fully frozen before it began? On mine, i've never felt anything like that :eek: |

Yes i hate the dentist office. I was really dreading the procedure but once it was done it wasn't as bad as i was thinking. I just hope the bone graph takes & my body doesn't reject it. :nervous: |
