I've have a number of major dental things done in the past few months. Today was getting an implant to replace a broken tooth I had to have pulled last fall. Not a fast process. That'll take 4+ months to heal...
And not cheap... my dental insurance hasn't covered much of it so far... it's wiping out what little I have in the bank for emergencies... 2 months pay... more or less.
Had to sign off on a long list of warnings... of things that could go wrong. Yikes! Fortunately, it's looking good so far though I had a headache before the whole thing started this morning... so my head... not doing too great...
It took approximately an hour, if you include the drugs needed to numb my jaw. The only pain during was actually where my mouth had to stretch open more than normal. And, there were the sounds... the implant is basically a hollow screw and the dentist used something that sounded like a ratchet wrench to screw it in.
