Chompers minus 1

My birthday wish came true (no thanks to any of you who got my solicitation). I would have done it anyway, but wanted to see how much my nearest and dearest care for my dental health - apparently very little. Regardless, I am now the proud owner of three beautiful new tooths. There were supposed to be four, but as the first one was being set, lovely Dr. Tom went a bit medieval on my veneer and cracked it smack down the middle. We hastily and glumly moved on to the big appliance but much of the wind had been sucked brutally from our sails. The delightful new porcelains were clamped over my stubs and flashed firmly into place after which ensued much polishing, grinding, shaping, polishing, assessing, grinding, grimacing, polishing...et Voila!

My dental hopes were dashed on the cruel and jagged rocks of mishap, however, all will be well with two more visits, two more nerve deadening sticks and one more carefully applied veneer. With any luck at all, I will be able to post picks before X-mas.
