Thank you for the reassurance. I have my follow up appointment tomorrow and will find what is going on. I have recovered a lot of feeling in my chin/lip. Lip is still tingley but I can feel pain when I bite it (which happens often because these dentures do not fit correctly). When it was numb, I wasn't aware I was biting the inside of my lip.

I did not have a Cat Scan prior to the surgery. He did a digital x-ray (not sure what its called, but it is on a huge TV screen while I sit in the chair...scary).

I hope he can tell if the bone grafting is working. I'm hoping I can get two implants in the lower bone in July.

Part of me regrets my decision to remove my teeth. But after reading the good information on this site, I think I probably did the right thing. Most of my teeth had been root canalled over the years and had crowns. I got opinions from 4 different dentists and Periodontists before making the decision to remove them all. Wearing a denture is terrible and I feel depressed that I will have to live the rest of my life with this. I wish I had the money to afford multiple implants so I could eventually get rid of the denture. But that isn't possible. I have no insurance and had to take a loan for the work I've had done so far.

Sorry for the long post,
Jane
