I had my final consultation today and I can say that over the past few days thinking about the other consultations made me feel more nervous and uptight about having all this work done. Frightened of the foreign “teeth” in my mouth and wondering how I’ll handle it. I mean, they won’t actually be a part of my body, a part of ME but I know that once I get used to them they’ll be like second nature I suppose.

All I know is that going there with the nervous stomach and the butterflies fluttering about, I always end up walking out of there excited all over again to have it done. So is it the positive vibes I”m getting from Dr. Nirav, or knowing that I’m gonna be able to smile freely? Perhaps both.

Alright, so as far as what’s going to happen. My initial first visit will be for impressions, both tops and bottoms. He’s got me convinced it’ll be a breeze to do with me because he says he’ll pretty much dope me up and I won’t even know what happened after I come out of it. Ok… I’ll go for that! 😀 But up until that day comes….. I’m gonna be shittin’ mighty big bricks!!

From there, those will take about a week and then I go in for my 1st Appointment which I will be out for. Asleep! At least I had better be. He would prefer to do the appointment at the beginning of the week as he is much refreshed and not tired, after which I will require at least 2 days of recouping. He said he wants to keep me sedated the following day as well… sorta like “sleeping it off” because I will have been stressed and he wants me to get fully healed both mentally and of course physically. This appointment will consist of removing the broken molars in the back, my front teeth/ 2 canines and 2 others. Then I’ll have Osseous grafting and implants placed and the partials (from the impressions) inserted. He can either do this by quadrant or if I choose I can have the whole tops done in one visit. Really up to me.

So that is what I”m to expect to begin with. He goes on holiday to the states and won’t be back until November 4th in which I can then call to make my appointment for impressions.

Next stop after that was the bank to get the finances. We are going to be taking out a loan. Lyn’s going back to the bank tomorrow to square things away with it all and then I can begin treatment. I’ve got about a month to relax until everything starts and then I can look forward to 8 months at least, of work done. Yay.
