Hi Bryanna. Hopefully you remember me from my earlier posts this year regarding my front tooth.

I had my front tooth (#8) pulled in mid March and now am scheduled for my implant surgery in a few weeks. My oral surgeon told me he saved my extraction tooth and I have the option of having it bonded for a few months to my other front teeth a month after the implant surgery. That way I won’t have to wear my flipper anymore. I am getting sick of my flipper, so this sounds interesting. I know it will be months before the permanent crown goes on the implant.

Have you heard of people using their extraction tooth during the dental implant process? I am considering it but not sure if I want to fool with it. Also the tooth that was pulled had been though a root canal. Any advise or suggestions? Thanks!

Also, anyone that has had this done I would like to hear about your experience too.
