I had gratifying dental experience today with my new dental hero, Dr. Jacob Merryman. Some of you might remember the three year struggles I had with an implant some time ago, the gum got infected and the drama went on for nearly three years before the implant was removed.
I have great confidence in my new dentist, Dr. Merryman (see below), and he recommended trying the implant again, we went ahead, and he put the crown on my implant today. It was painless and has made a huge difference in my mouth, chewing and strengthening those teeth around the missing spot.
It feels great, and I will proceed with another implant next year. It will be a wonder to have all of my teeth back. It does make a difference.
It’s pouring here again today, flooding everywhere, even in our swamp. Nice to be home tonight in front of a warm fire. When I got home, Zip came rushing out of the barn to see me, and we had a soaking but abbreviated meeting. I admit to loving that cat. We are great pals.
Color is expecially appreciated today, how beautiful the flowers are, how they touch the soul and bring me up.
Dr. Merryman is a person of great faith, I enjoy talking with him. His faith permeates the practice, it is about connecting, listening and empathy. I’m lucky to have found him. I wish him the happiest Christmas.
I’m glad that you’ve finally had success with your implant. I need 2 on the lower right, but every time I ask my dentist, he has some excuse. He’s not going to be my dentist anymore. I’ve been waiting over a year to get the two bottom implants started. He did a bone grafts over a year ago and nothing since then. I’m tired of having to chew everything I eat on my left side. It has made my TMJ worse.
