The tooth will be extracted tomorrow afternoon. (It is on the top - right next to the two center teeth - and I look like a real bum.)

I think they will have to almost totally knock me out - or I will have a heart attack.....

They will then put in a temporary tooth called a ‘flipper’. It will look normal - but not too functional. I will be fitted with bridge in six to eight weeks.

I am getting palpatations just thinking about tomorrow......

My visits were not bad. Will be total of 4 for the broken tooth.

The first visit they bonded the broken tooth to the teeth on each side. Then I had to go back and have the root fulled. AFter the gums healed, I went back for impressions and a temp.

Next week, I will finally get the bridge.

Good luck.
