Billy Bob Barclay

Scott recently had oral surgery. The root canal on his front tooth had cracked up and over after he got hit in the face twice playing bball. If left unfixed it would get infected and the infection could travel to his other teeth (ew).

The plan of action is as follows:

1. Extract tooth

2. Clean space and drill new tooth hole

3. Cadaver bone graft

4. Place steel rod

5. Heal for 6 months before he gets an implant.


Right after surgery, looking drugged and very swollen. I'm going to save this one in my personal files for blackmail later.




This pic was a few hours later after the meds had worn off a bit. We went to our local dentist that evening, (after lots of begging), and he glued a temporary tooth onto a retainer for Scott.



Lookin good babe.

looks like you are really fitting in, in Manti! I'll have to fix that for you in the future.

That exact same thing happened to me! I hate it! But, it happened to one of my molar teeth, but those things are super expensive! Sorry about that!
