Did any of you have them impacted? Dunno if that makes any difference, but mine are massively impacted.

A dentist in West Memphis did mine and they were good too. He numbed my mouth before giving the numbing shot so I didn't even feel that. There was just pressure. No pain.

Wasn't too bad. Didn't even need painkillers. The worst part of it was probably the bleeding taking almost 12 hours to stop for me.

did you get 15 implants? How much did that cost?


Like I said, I got 3 titanium screws in the top front, and 2 more for my first molars on either side of the bottom. Total of 5 screws, 7 implants. They didn't replace my back molars on top or bottom, nor did they replace my wisdom teeth. So I have 8 fewer teeth now, none of which are visible or make any real difference in terms of chewing.

The total was something like $15k, I believe. My parents insisted on paying for it. I told them I'd pay them back but they wouldn't hear of it. They said they felt bad that they hadn't done a better job when I was a kid finding a dentist who could help me with them, or trying a different method for getting braces or something. I never blamed them for it, it wasn't their fault and I knew that even when I was 12. But I still appreciate the gesture.
