We met Dr. Sam, Dr. Francis, and Dr. Chapman on Saturday June 3rd for the implant assessment. They reviewed the 3D x-ray and made a study model. As Dr. Chapman suspected, Teddy will need some bone grafting to support the implant. Apparently, this is common for implants of front teeth.
Teddy's surgery date will be on June 6, 2017. The surgeon will use local anesthesia to numb her mouth and the procedure should take about 2-3 hours long. Teddy's mom will come and keep her company. We have a prescription for some steroids to keep the facial swelling down.
As of today (04 June 2017) we are about 65% of the total fundraising goal. Please support us if you are able to and feel free to share this with your friends.
Thank you, Sharon
