How much does getting a false tooth hurt?

When I get my braces off, I have to get a false tooth drilled in to replace the permanent one they pulled out; it was apparently getting in the way of another one that was growing in the same place. So... what I'm wondering is, how much will the surgery hurt? Do they give you anesthetics before or knock you out? How much will my mouth hurt afterwards, and for how long?

This doesn't make sense... are you getting a bridge or an implant? You may be too young for an implant...and a bridge for that matter.... can you be more specific?





Thanks!

Reply:It sounds to me that they are scheduling you for an implant. An implant is where they fix a drill like screw to your jaw permanently then they have a tooth that matches your other teeth (they will take a mold of your teeth in order to get the size just right weeks before your surgery)that has a hole in it to affix it to the screw. This surgery is done under anaesthesia..so you will be asleep during the surgery and will wake up like you were dreaming. You will be sore and tender for a couple of weeks but should be back to normal in no time. Implant teeth are refereed to the "rolls royce" of false teeth because they look real,feel great, last a long time, and are easy to care for once you get use to it. They are just on the expensive side (another reason for the name). Good luck dear!
