I had endodontic surgery done last year at USC School of Dentistry. But now the tooth is starting to become tender, the gums are starting to get swollen, and it is obviously not going to last much longer.
My question is… since the endodontic prodecure was supposed to help preserve my tooth for another 10-15 years, and it was done by their students, would they take that into account and when giving me an implant?
Also, is there any pain/bruising/adverse affects associated with implants?
And how long do they last. If one chips or breaks, will they repair it, or I have to go through the whole process again?
And also… I dont have the whitest teeth, so will they give me an off-white implant? And then what happens if I whiten my teeth later in life?
