Just Had Dental Implants Fitted ..... Now Waiting For The Anaesthetic To Wear Off .....

Most of you probably won't know - had an accident on my bicycle aaaaaaages ago and knocked most of my front teeth out, so I've got a combination of a denture, a crown and a bridge.
Anyway, I decided a while ago, to take the plunge and have implants fitted, so I can do away with the denture. Just had 2 implants inserted into my jawbone and go back next week to have the stitches removed.
The dentist reckons it'll be approx 6 months before the final crowns are placed onto the implants :)
On a lighter note, for the time being I am now part pig and part cow .......... yea you read that right.
They use artificial bone (which comes from a cow) to help the jaw bone heal and helps the implants graft to the jawbone.
They also use a membrane to cover the artificial bone, which comes from a pig.
Apparently the membrane dissolves within 2 weeks and the cow bone bits take approx 2 years to be fully expelled out of your system.
In the meantime, I just hope I don't start mooing or oinking lol :P
