Really nervous.

Got a call from my dentist today.

After examining all my x-rays and the impressions he took, he feels the best thing I could do, at this point, is get Implant-Supported dentures.

I admit, I've long neglected my teeth. The neglect is a byproduct, if you will, of nearly 15 years of orthodontics work which ultimately failed at straightening my teeth. I was tired of fiddling with them and having them fiddled with, so now I'm paying the price. On the plus side, I'll finally have straight teeth (which I've never had in my life), I'll be able to smile (which, honestly, I haven't done in nearly 15 years due to being self-conscious), and I should feel better.

However, I'm really nervous facing down the fact that I'm 30 years old and am going to have to have all my existing teeth yanked out of my skull.
We have to do what we have to do, I suppose.

That sucks. I just recently started going to the dentist again after a fifteen year layoff and have quite a bit of work to do. Best of luck with it.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

I'm sure everything will work out. I'm just one of those folks who hates having my teeth worked on. Given I saw how my dad was when he had dentures, it makes me worry. But my dad got his 35 years ago and he was not the kind of guy to complain if they were uncomfortable. There's been a lot of advancements since then and unlike my dad if they're uncomfortable, I'm gonna be in the dentist's office that day complaining.
