[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Little off topic but why would someone do the instant implant? My dentist really didn’t even present that as an option to me... and he really emphasized the importance of the very long bone graft process before putting in the implant.[/quote]

OP here. My dentist explained to me that one reason, was to avoid shifting sinuses if there is a period of time after an extraction - there's a chance the sinus wall may dip down lower. My native bone was sufficient, strong, healthy, and deep enough. The "socket" was clean without infection.

I had this done under local anesthesia, so we discussed this in "real time" after my tooth was removed and he could get a better idea of what the situation was, and felt confident that this would be a good choice for my situation. It was something he had mentioned, but it was not necessarily the plan until in the middle of the process.

In any case, I'm sitting here many hours later, after having taken just one 800mg ibuprofen and feeling fine. Right now, my swelling is minimal to nonexistent. Fingers crossed - hopefully it's successful and things don't change![/quote]
