implant date
Hi...i have a denture where my front right hand tooth was, after having it removed in 96.
I have a date on 9th feb to have an implant on NHS. But i 1st have to undergo a bone graft, then go back 3 months later for the post to be implanted.
They are giving me no new denture to wear when i leave the hospital, i know it will be too sore for a week anyway. I have been told i have to go to my dentist to have a new denture made for me to wear until i get the post implanted then the tooth part attached later. How long will i have to wait for a new denture..i will not dare to leave the house with a huge gap and no tooth. I am so upset i am thinking of cancelling the whole thing.
thank you

Thankyou. Well i worried about nothing really. I had the bone graft back in february, and have the date for the implant on 23rd June!
I will be having my denture adjusted after this part of the procedure too.
I forgot to ask the dentist before i left...she said i would have to go back 3 months after the implant, to have something added on to it, then back in a month after to have it completed! I am also having some white bonding added to close a large gap and make 2 other teeth look straighter.
what is it that they will be adding onto the implant before my final visit?Last edited by debbyftm; 04-26-2010 at 01:57 PM.
