First of all let me say, I am on cloud nine! I will have a number 19th tooth again. This was depressing to lose that tooth. It made me feel I was slowly loosing my parts! laugh! That's when you begin to feel like age is catching up with you. I now feel young again. Isn't that funny, that getting a tooth has such power.
When I got to the Oral, Facial, Implant Center, they had me sign papers of what could go wrong. Oh yea, I really needed that. You could get an infection, you could get a tooth beside the implant to be damaged and need a root canal or better yet, it could be lost. Then came the final most wonderful statement," Your jaw could be broken into. hahaha. Yea, so glad I had my Ativan under my tongue when reading that one.
The whole experience was Wonderful. I felt no pain. I was assured of no pain. I assumed they would stick the needle in my gums and then give me the anesthesia. The nurse prepared me with information, hooked me up to oxygen, told me she would do an iv first and I would be given meds through that, then they would stick the needle in my gums without me feeling it. Boy, what good news. She also trough the iv gave me antibiotics just to be safe from infections later. I felt like a queen being fussed over. It was totally painless and yet I was aware of them working on my implant. I remember hearing the doctor screwing in the implant. No pain No fear. It was a wonderful experience if one could say seeing a doc can be wonderful. The nurse gave me a fuzzy blanket to keep warm. How sweet! I felt I was in good hands. I would recommend this place to all my children. It is that professional.
Just want you all to know this clinic. They are brothers, Charles Stone is my doctor and his brother is Brian Stone. It is located in an area just before the New Fresh Brookshire's. The building is high-tech and so modern. It is set up with surgical rooms. Ice cold like the hospitals are. The area of recovery was all glassed in and outside were beautiful stone pillars, flowers and a drive through area to be picked up by family. Wow, Just a state of the art place. Here is a picture of their sign on a instruction sheet. It is in the area of the new El Charo's. I can truly recommend this place to anyone. My own children. I give God the glory for leading me here.

What I have is a implant screw that is, it seems the same level as my gums and I have stiches. I also assume that what he put in my gums will be a piece that the actual implant bar will be screwed into and a cap on top that. I thought I would leave his office with a shiny silver bar sticking up until I got my cap. All I see is a place where there are stitches. Pretty Cool.
Thank You Dr. Charles Stone!
Doctor Brian Stone and Charles Stone on right!
