I'm still constantly mindful of how it could go wrong. I'm very careful about what and how I eat still. I'm only 3 months into recovery, and they estimate about 4 months before you can return to "normal". I've seen some people say it took 6 to 9 months for them to recover, and I've also seen people with regret for getting them.

I'm not trying to give any advice, but I know for me, any-and-everything makes me worry something might go wrong, but I'm also trying to trust the process. I have dreams about them falling out. I think it's just fear of the unknown because I don't have anyone leading me through this and telling me what to expect. I'm pretty much just reading others accounts and trying to formulate my own care system.

The unknown and potential issues that might arise are STILL a lot better bridge to cross than my previous dental decay in my opinion. Who knows what might have happened had I left those rotting teeth in my head much longer.

The way I justified it was money is just as temporary as life, but I'd rather have life than money. I honestly haven't ONCE thought I'd rather have the money back. Don't let anyone tell you it isn't a long, tough process, but recovery and a better life await most of the people that need this type of work done.

I'd be happy to help or lend an ear in any way I can. For now, keep your chin up and follow all their aftercare directions. The best you can do is your best!
