- Inconvenience

I had a cracked molar that needed to be replaced. The dentist recommended dental implants.
Before the procedure, I was told not to have food or drink for six hours. At the oral surgeon’s office, I received anesthesia and then recovered uneventfully. I felt good and rested.
My Advice
Be comfortable with your doctor and medical team and communicate with them (and expect communication back) as you decide about and prepare for the procedure.
