I am surprised and sorry also that Clone had such an ordeal. In my case, one time I even had to ask my oral surgeon if he actually did a bone graft that time or not because I didn't notice. All he does is just open a little sterile vial with the liquid bone material (from cadavers, but irradiated for safety) in it, and brush that liquid on. I mean really, how hard can it be to withstand that?
(not very, actually much easier than a walk in the park for me). Maybe I was lucky, but with me high as a kite on laughing gas, the bone graft is not even annoying and it only takes a few minutes. Even the $400 that he charges for the bone graft isn't much compared with the overall cost of an implant. When he finishes and the laughing gas has worn off, I pay for everything in full at the door and then drive myself home. Piece'o'cake.
My oral surgeon makes me take one hydrocodone before the Novacaine wears off, and although I comply I have never needed even that, much less any more than that.
I swear I have the best dentist and oral surgeon in the universe. They work together all the time, too, and communicate well with each other and with me.
