"It Is Finished!"

Those were the last words of Christ from the cross and my last words when I left the Dentist's office on Tues May 6, 2014! Some of you know my dental woes and I certainly will not bore you with the incredibly long list of dental procedures my mouth has endured in the last 4 years (that's right - FOUR YEARS!)...multiple gum grafts...a failed bridge that resulted in a rear upper left tooth (#3 for you dental minded people) being pulled. I decided to go forth with an implant because I felt I was WAAYYY too young to have to chew on one side of my mouth until I die at the old age of 110 years old...But each stage was not without complications along the way and I affectionately nicknamed myself 10% - because complications occurred in 10% of people and that we me everytime! Thanks to Dr. Maria (Mia) Geisinger and my general Dentist Dr. Charles Carter I now have my crown in place and am relearning how to chew on my left side. Dr. G was awesome and came to my aid many times when I was bleeding, in pain or had air rushing to my sinuses! So I know this is not my typical post but this has been quite a part of my history in the last 4 years that I am looking for some cheers and sympathy as you note the hardware in Maxilla and I was so proud to see that crown on the impression of my teeth it was worth a photo (that is not blood but ink marking the margins). The other photo is of the post that was screwed into my implant to hold the crown - looks like a small bullet to me...I learned more than I care to know about dental procedures, materials and anatomy but I owe a great deal to my dental experts! Thank you!
