had another extraction last week. hoping for my 2nd implant next Spring. bionic teeth with metal posts are the best once the suffering (and payment) is past.
Mine is actually a fancy no-metal all-zirconia version (I figure, why take a chance I'm one of the few who can't tolerate titanium?) Horrifically expensive and a long process (tooth was extracted over a year ago, 6 months for bone graft, 6 months for osseointegration). Like ZD, it was a botched root canal. Amazingly common problem, from what I can tell.
And, good luck on yours! It seems the extraction is always the worst part. I found it very humorous that they use a tap and die and a little ratcheting socket set to put the post in. The dentist thought I was crazy.
Thanks for the kind words! Interestingly, my endodontist sees my mother and father, too now (I referred them) and I definitely did NOT inherit my father's awesome indian teeth. I'm cursed with soft filipino teeth no matter how well I take care of them.
