I had a tooth removed several years ago, After the healing process of the pulled tooth I decided to go with a implant. being 62 at the time, the dentist did a bone graft on my jaw. Seems as you get older the bone on your jaw thins. Once the bone graft was complete it took almost a year before the implant was complete...they had to complete things then let things heal before moving on to the next step...

Yep, I had a single implant done about 10 years ago. Whole process took 8 months. With the condition of my bone now the graft is about 50/50. Will be grafted in 3 weeks or so depending on my healing process from the extractions.
Had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled at one time. Lot of pain even with pain medication. Will never do that again
Challenge accepted...
My wisdom teeth need to come out soon and I need good sedation as even the long acting injectable doesn't last very long on me. So I'm getting them all out at once. Just trying to get it scheduled. Nobody got time for getting one side done at a time.

Id say all 4 at one time is the way to go. If you only do 2 you may never go back.

Yep, just went through this Mike with 4 of my 6 jaw teeth I still have. Expensive too even with dental insurance.
