Tooth Development
Self portrait with teeth!
Yes, the big day has finally arrived, the day of the installation of my tooth. I went last week to have the colour matched up, and today was a trip to the dentist to get the actual crown put on.
As you can see from the photo, I think it looks great.
The tooth is now on with temporary cement (although apparently the temporary cement is sometimes just left alone because it allows for easier servicing if required later). I need to go back to the implant guy (my regular dentist did today’s procedure) and have him look at the gum line. The gum is a little short on the implant tooth, which isn’t generally noticeable since I don’t show much gum when I smile. However, there may be some more work to do to make it perfect. I’ll keep you posted on that later.
