Don’t lose sleep over it, dude. I’ve had it done and it honestly wasn’t too bad. If you normally fare well with dentists and don’t freak out over drills or needles, you’ll be fine. One shot deadens the area so much so that you shouldn’t feel a thing. Best of luck to you!

regular white. i've got to get a bone graft done first and then heal and then come back for them to drill the hole and install the implant.

it's going where a molar i have has been filled in twice. some kind of trauma has it where inflammatory cells are basically eating my tooth away (according to the dentist). they said this was the best option.

$3300 later i'll have a new tooth.

oh yeah, i'm gonna be awake with only using laughing gas. no IV sedation.

It can’t be worse than having your eye cut open with a cigar cutter and lasered. I’ll be joining you soon, I have a dying tooth that has been hanging on by a thread for the last 15 years.

I rolled with the gas and no IV, too. They offered the IV but it was gonna cost extra. Being the cheap bastard I am, I said f- it, just gimme the gas.

I once made a mistake of having a cavity filled in without the shot or anything. Never again. That grinding nerve pain is the worst pain the world. I’ll pay all day everyday to avoid that pain again. Call me a pussy I don’t care.

My paw paw used to make the dentist fill his cavities with no shot. He didn't like his mouth being numb for hours. Screw all that. Give me the shot.

Pain with a secondary round of more pain. But on the Bright side, really white "teeth" or one "tooth" brighter and whiter than the rest.

Is it really worth that much for one tooth? You've still got a bunch of others. Its not like its an eye or heart.

my dentist didn't really explain what would happen if they just pulled the tooth, but i came home afterwards to watch some videos and it was mentioned that i could have bone loss in the jaw, the adjacent teeth will shift and the tooth that is above the one getting pulled with begin to fall.

When they drill your old tooth out and do a bone graft it will hurt very badly. Get extra shots of novacaine and the strongest pain pill that you can.
