Getting Teeth

Just wanted to fill you in on the crazy process of getting teeth. Since I don't have the final teeth yet the current ones are plastic, so we can adjust the shape, size, color and gums. Its kind of cool!

These are not removable, well not by me at least. The dentist can remove them and make adjustments as needed. This happens every 1-2 weeks for the next 6 weeks. Should be completely done by Thanksgiving 2011. A full year!

There is a hole in the front of them allowing them to be removed, but before that they have to take out the green caps...  It took 3 hrs to get the teeth put in and make the necessary adjustments on 4 teeth.

Picture below - green caps on left then the cap taken out, just a hole in my gums & then the tooth placed in there.

A close up of the holes in each tooth. Dentist filled in the holes,  completely unnoticeable!
