Went into the dentists office at 1:00 PM and came out at 2:45 with a new set of uppers, 11 extractions, no implants. Doc seemed to think the bone just wasn't in good enough shape for implant's. I'm surprised at how well the denture stays in place, very little movement. Hell you can even see my teeth again when I smile. Can't believe I put this off for so long. My old teeth were getting pretty wore down, uppers much worse than the lowers, I one of them that grind their teeth while sleeping.

Did you get put under for the procedure? That’s a quick turn around time.

Does he look like a sissy to you?

Good for you

I thought you got smart and bought a ford. Well congrats on the new teeth instead

No more eating a corncob through a picket fence

No. She shot it up pretty good and went to work. Had to shoot it again when she got to the Canines, those things are long and hard to get out. Told her I had a cheater pipe out in the truck if she needed it.

Ya gonna put the old ones under your pillow tonight? Might be a bonanza there in the morning.

Which dentist did you use?

DR Erickson Abbeville Dentistry in Big Spring.

Sway back, belly sagging, brisket protruding, face looks old all we needed was a picture of your teeth so we could have guessed your age

I dread this day. I grind my teeth until my jaw hurts and then keep grinding until my neck hurts. I’ve chewed through those mouth guards in 2 nights.

Give it a shot. Sorry didn't save the teeth and you ain't getting the jaw bone.

Congrats on the new chompers....be patient, it will take a little getting used to it. I'm glad the procedure went well.

I've had several patients that had severe wear and had to crown every tooth....pretty costly, but they saved their teeth. If you are going through the mouth guards that fast then you can get a custom acylic one that will last a lot longer. We have a ton of patients that wear them and are very happy with less headaches and jaw pain. You might try going that route....just a thought.

I was waking up with headaches damn near every morning.

Glad it went well

I get a crown or repair done every couple of years. Luckily my family has a good history of strong healthy teeth, I just like to grind on them. I even do it during the day.

That was my problem, healthy teeth just worn down.

Still healthy for a mature/old geezer somewhere between 65-75

You got the old geezer part right.
