I just had tooth 31 extracted due to a infected crown??
Question: I would like to know if it is worth it to get an implant. How the procedure works and how painful it is
Answers: Very worth it! It is costly, about $3000 per tooth, but they functions and looks like real teeth. If you have the money and patience, and of course you need proper bone levels to hold the implant, go for it!
They clean out the socket and implant a titanium post that is screwed into the jaw bone. They wait a few months to make sure the post interacts well and is not rejected by your body. They usually fit you with a temporary tooth, so you don't walk around with a big hole, or if yor comfortable with the hole, they will just leave it. About 3-9 months later, they bring you back and fit you with your new tooth.
The most painful part of the procedure is the extraction (which you have already had done!) and shortly after, they surgically implant the titanium post. Pain meds will be prescribed if you need them.
Titanium is used because it doesn't rust and is generally well accepted by your body.
Hope that helps! Enjoy!
I had the same tooth (#31) extracted and my dentist said I can get braces to move the tooth behind it forward to close the space. I think thisis a good option to check out b/c if your going to spend 3,000 on fixing it, you might as well straighten your teeth while you're at it.
