Is having a hole in my head better than having a screw loose?
I lost bone around the implant and my old dentist is removing it. She said she will give me a quote for a bridge, but I don't know how that would work out since the back tooth has an implant (in my trunk).
Remembering is hard!
I thought it would be weird if someone from the dealership opened a box with broken teeth, but it would have been nice if this dentist could recement them.
How do I Heli-coil my own jaw?!

..you start with a good slug of whisky!!
Years ago, I had a large amount of bone removed; some surgically, some by the absess growing there.
It took a LONG time to completely heal.
Good luck!

So you're saying there's a chance!
I do not like the idea of missing bone!

You're only young?
Good diet, no cigarettes, easy on the booze...you can recover from most things.

I try to take care of my cars, too, and that is a losing battle, but they don't heal.

Fewer teeth means fewer dental problems.
My Metro has taken to not sweeping the wipers as far and then slapping them on the hood.

loosen whatever device holds the arms on, remove arm , reposition, reinstall locking device. Generally they should be about an inch from the bottom of the window.

Thanks. I suspect some cable mechanism because they are in synch, but that's within the scoop of my capability.
I'm still starting it with a screwdriver. The replacement steering column just sits there and doesn't install itself. I think Xist is being a bad influence on me.

My wife is a biomedical engineer and used to design dental implants. What you have is called peri-implantits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri-implantitis
You "heli-coil" your jaw with a bone graph. You keep from losing another implant with excellent oral hygiene that includes daily flossing. Bone loss is caused by bacteria between the gum and tooth / implant generally from excess plague buildup.
(And this reminds me that I need to step up my flossing - as my wife and dentist continue to remind me on a regular basis) |

I've wanted dentures from the moment I knew they existed... also wanted a powered wheelchair from the moment I knew they existed.
