This afternoon I finally got my implant crown fitted. 5 months 1 week since my front crown broke, £4,000 lighter, I am fixed. I was feeling a bit edgy about today’s appointment, mainly fearing the new tooth wouldn’t fit or look right.
It was quite a painful process, my dentist said there would be some pressure and stretching of the soft tissue. After the second ouch he administered anaesthetic and announced he'd need to trim my gum. Now several hours later I feel a little sore but am already enjoying not having to wear my temporary denture or feel the gap uncomfortable at the front of my mouth. I have to eat carefully tonight and by tomorrow I am ok to bite on the tooth, I think I’ll stick to banana a bit longer and not be tackling a crisp apple for a while.
I need to go back to the dentist in a couple of weeks for a check after which we can leave for Italy. However the weather here is so lovely we are in no hurry to depart, just look at the snaps MrFF took on his walk in The Dales last week, Yorkshire what’s not love.
Glad you are nearing the end of your treatment, our weather is perfect, especially as it's school holidays.
ReplyDeleteHappy your ordeal is finally over. The photos do show the countryside to its best advantage.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Glad tooth is good.
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a great relief having your tooth fixed but ouch for the purse.
ReplyDeletePoor thing ! You have to give yourself a little treat for being so brave at the dentist . And soon you will be off to Italy pottering about in your garden again ! ☀️🦋💐x
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief to finally get that done.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing finer than the English countryside on a lovely day.
