Metal Girl

CT scan of my mouth
So today I went for the 3rd phase of my surgery: the placement of the abutments and impressions.
Like I mentioned in my previous dental post, I had screws drilled into my gums. Those screws are holding the abutments, and the abutments will in turn be the base for the porcelains. 

An X-Ray of screw placement
Needless to say, I was already used to the procedure, since this would be the third time that they'd cut my gums open. I'm not sure what was different about the procedure this time, but I felt very light-headed and nauseous. I was put on 2L of oxygen via a nasal cannula.
