I just discovered that I have advanced periodontal disease - might loose up to 3 of my front teeth. I am so upset! I'm thinking of implants, but first my periodontist recommended scaling, and then surgery. Should I get a second opinion? Are implants the best choice? I had the same thing a few years ago and went through both procedures. The scaling was like in intensive teeth cleaning and really didn't hurt, but they will numb you up first if you are really sensitive. When I had the surgery, I had full anesthesia so I was pretty much out for the whole thing. The worst part is having to eat soft foods for the next couple of weeks until the stitches came out. It doesn't change the way your teeth and gums look after you are healed up and as for implants, I would see what the periodontist recommends. My doctor was able to save all my teeth, so I didn't have to go that route.
Good luck!! yes get a second opinion and go to thialand they have the best dentists in the world i changed all my teeth within 2 hourse |
