It is 11:00 am on Monday morning and my husband Ivan, his dad Juan, and I are sitting in the dentists office waiting to be seen. My father in law lost a tooth the end of last week and there is quite an opening there when he smiles. He would not want that, nor do we, so, here we are. Our dentist is a wonderful young woman, always a beautiful smile on her face! A smile you will always remember if you are fortunate enough to meet her!
This past Friday my husband had 3D radiographs of his mouth so we can start work on his dental implants. I do not believe I mentioned that Dr. Solis is also an Endoperiodonist, a surgeon who will do Ivan’s implants here in the office. He wants only a local anesthetic, and she is very confident that it will work just fine for him. He will need 4 posts implanted, 2 top front, and 2 top back. She feels he is an excellent candidate. We cannot wait. He does not like his upper denture plate and will not wear it because it makes him feel like he is choking. Who needs that? So, maybe by Christmas he will have the full, beautiful smile he always had.
