I had an implant done after a surgical procedure in my mouth. They had to insert transplanted jaw bone material as a graft. That took something like 3 months to take. Then they drilled in the post. Another month. Then I finally got the tooth.
The last time I got one, the dentist printed it from a scan of my tooth. Put in the post. And glued it in. Two hours, tops.
The advances are amazing.
I was just there yesterday and the hygienist told me her family member just had 6 on the top and 6 on the bottom done by some famous dental office in Vegas. Somehow they do it all in 48 hours, the graft and everything. Price wasnt bad either, I think she said 35k.
