I just went to the endodontist today. I had the tooth removed and a bone graft in July, I went today for the cat scan. The bone grew up, but not thick enough, it’s 3.6 ml thick and the smallest screw is 3 so he doesn’t think it’s thick enough. So I’m getting another bone graft, but he said he could put the screw in at the same time. So I go back Thursday to review the plan, get the price and set the appointment. This next one will mean another 3 - 4 months until the tooth can go in, but at least the post will be in. I have this crazy contraption I wear now that has the missing tooth on pink plastic that goes behind my teeth. I can eat in it and wear it all day. I’m guessing I’ll be in the neighborhood of 5k when it’s all over. I just pay a bit at a time at each procedure.
