I am having my upper left lateral extracted(due to internal root resorption) and a dental implant placed in a couple of days. My smile and my appearance means everything to me and because of this I am suffering from severe depression and also addiction to Rx drugs. I have a wonderful surgeon and excellent dentist that I trust and know that they are going to do a great job. I feel that noone can understand what i'm going through. Oh I also work in the dental field so I know what to expect but it's just the thought of having a "FAKE" tooth!
