Resorption in a front tooth. Had it extracted and now there’s a fancy titanium drywall anchor grafted into my skull. A few weeks of healing and then I’ll have a false tooth bolted in.

      People see a stud no matter what expression I’m wearing

      For a few different reasons, no.

      1. I have a temporary flipper to fill the gap. Looks remarkably good, though it’s not especially comfortable.
      2. it’s not standing very proud of the gums, especially in front. In fact I think the front of my gums are healing over the cap. The surgeon was concerned about gum recession so he apparently did quite a job retaining as much meat up there as possible; he was talking about even transplanting some tissue from the roof of my mouth forward but I don’t think he did. It is visible from below or if I tilt my head back though.
