I figured I would take pictures and document this..

It all started one day earlier this month when I finally went to the Dentist after 11 years of not going. Now, I am thinking I must have at least 4-6 cavities and what not so I saved up a ton of money for the visit. Turns out I had no cavities and my teeth looked really good.

With one exception: Tooth 11 which is an Upper Canine Tooth is still a Baby Tooth with nothing underneath it. No permanent tooth and nobody really knows why. It is something that just happens sometimes. I was told you usually inherit the condition from your parents, but in not in my case.

Here is the picture. You can notice the messed up looking tooth pretty easily. What I really didn't like is that food would tend to get caught in that spot on the side.


Now, though there really wasn't a big problem with the tooth except that the tip broke off it, a spot was missing near the gums, it got loose one or twice before, and it looked like shit. Still, I asked the Dentist for some options and in my head I wanted something that would hopefully last forever. He said how about a nice Titanium Implant? Of course being the high tech guy that I am I was hooked when he mentioned the word Titanium. Another possibility is that I am I am just an idiot and needed to spend my saved up money on something.

This is a picture of what an implant looks like.


Anyway, a couple weeks later I get an appointment in Fayettville with the Periodontist. He's basically your high tech super dentist who specializes in all sorts of crazy shit. He explains to me what we are gonna do and says let's do it now. I say sure, why not. This was at 9 AM in the morning BTW.

So, here is basically what happened.
