Your Teeth, or lack thereof?

I need to work on getting my upper set replaced. Hybrid Denture is the preferred solution. Then, work on my lower set and get it straightened out. Initial costs were astronomical (dentist doesn't take insurance) , so looking for those who do, to try to mitigate the cost.

^Thank you, Sue. Yes, I went in just before 8 AM and am doing well now, at 3 PM. My sister drove me and is hanging out with me for another night. She likes getting away from her nutty dog and playing with her photo editing of her new granddaughter, uninterrupted, too.
I took a two hour nap as soon as I got home and woke up with something on my lips. My selfies make me laugh.
^I can't get any photos to add. Maybe later.

I'm glad to hear that everything went well, Patty.
Is the implant done later? If so, when?
I'm glad that your sister is staying with you, and that you can hang out together for a little bit.

I forget when the implant part is started but it's 3 to 6 months out. Her granddaughter, Elizabeth, was was born on January 2nd so she's 2 1/2 months old.

I have 3 implants as a result of kissing the wooden steering wheel in an MGA when an young driver pulled out in front of me without any warning. At the time I just had lap belts in the car. I now have 3-point belts in my current MGA. Like Gene it was a drawn out affair that required bone grafting, that turned out to be a really good thing and it cured almost all my sinus issues. I'm very happy that I had it done. They didn't cost me anything as insurance picked up the tab. I think everyone's situation is different. Just be sure you go to real specialist is the best advice I can share.

Above the upper teeth are your sinus cavities, as you move back in the mouth the amount of bone between your sinus cavities and the roots of the teeth decreases. The oral surgeon goes thru the bone layer and nudges up the sinus membrane and then deposits the grafting material to grow more bone.
