Looks like I need an implant for #15. I'm a bit confused on
    the timelines to do this. Assuming no complications what could
    I expect from removal, implant, temp crown to perm crown?
    I plan to visit a few surgeons - what are the questions to ask

Hi group. I had 8 Nobel Biocare implants for a complete top set
procedure. Two were placed after bone graft. One failed, was regrafted,
re implanted and left for 8 months. Lat week the site was opened up and
another failure - no explanation other than thats just the way it is.

...as opposed to doing 2-3 at a time?
I am getting 5-6 done through the periodontal program at the dental
school and the oral surgeon/student is planning to do 5-6 implants. It

At my twice-yearly cleaning/checkup appointments
I've declined the flouride wash because my

    I would like to document my experience at the dental office managed by

Tarnow for implant surgery because I was told that, as a researcher and

I've been using Bond-One from Pentron for a few years with very little
trouble. I have had several porcelain veneers either crack in half
(vertically) or just come off. Sometimes the same veneer is debonding

I exorcised a few deamons last night.  My wife and I
went to a Moody Blues concert in KC, we made it home,
and nothing bad happened <G>.  Hard to believe the last
time we saw them was over 11 years ago.

I had three fillings done, two teeth.  It's been about 4 hours and the
tooth is really bothering me.  It feels like a toothache, but since
I've never had this done before, I'm not sure if this is normal.  I'll
wait until Monday to see how bad it gets or better it gets, but I'm

class about community groups. I was to join a group that had to do with
my major or my future career. I am studying to be a pediatric dentist.
I was hoping this group would be a little bit more involved in ...
