I just had to go the other day, I was supposed to start my dental implant procedure but it turns out I didn't have enough bone to hold it, so in order to do the implant I'd have to have bone grafting from my chin.
So basically they knocked me out (conscious sedation is awesome) to give me shots, cut my gums open, then stitch me back up. Still have to wear this stupid retainer which I can't eat or speak properly with while I wait to find out what I'm supposed to do.
I'm considering just saying fuck it and just getting a bridge instead. The implants aren't guaranteed to work and at this point it would be another year before they actually were ready to be put in as opposed to a bridge which I could have in a month.
I think I may too young for a bridge though, does anyone have one, or implants? What were your experiences and what are the pros/cons?
