I went through the oral surgery today. The whole ordeal probably took less than 30 minutes.
They extracted the existing tooth and then did the implant. It will take the implant six months or so to grow into the bone, but the hard part is done.
The worst part was when they had to suture my gums back together. That kind of sucked. Now I have to go back in a week
I’m still pretty tender and they have me on some decent pain killers. It might just be a good excuse to take tomorrow off work.
