Well went to the dentists to check on my implant.
Our regular family dentist noticed the crown was loose so she referred me back to the dentist that did it decades ago.
We had a great time reminiscing over all kinda things, then he finally took a look.
The 20 year old implant is fine, the reason the crown is loose is the plastic washer is worn.
The thing is it was the 3rd implant he had ever done (it’s now a specialty of his) The implant isn’t made anymore, and the washer isn’t made anymore, when I had this done my kids weren’t even born.
So we are going to leave it be, it doesn’t hurt, it’s not causing any trouble, if he happens upon the part he’ll let me know, but since it is SO old he and the surgeon might decide to have me come in again just to get data on how that old model hold up over two decades of use.
So I may be an object of study, that doesn’t happen every day.
