No Bats, We Really Don't Need to See Your Teeth Again...

I am hoping that this will be pretty much the end of a long saga. My dentist applied the replacement implant crown today. He cemented the heck out of it, so we're all figuring we'll avoid the 'fall out of jaw and head south' problem (although it was kinda cool to say, "I got beat up so bad that I was crapping out teeth....")

Yes, the implant is definitely smaller and flatter than the molar that used to be there. However, my bite now feels right, as opposed to the previous failed installation, which felt like biting down on an olive pit with every bite.
