Dreamed that I had to kick people out of "a meeting room" (my bedroom) so I could sleep. I threw a whiteboard marker at Researcher Haystack, who was being a douchebag.

TOOOOOOTH!!!! :D
Finally! I got my permanent crown installed on the implant!!! I'm delighted!!! I took a last selfie or two with the gap; I've been avoiding cameras mostly, and masks are great for not showing it off.
To recap the various points:
* Fall-ish 2021 cleaning that destabilized the old crown on #8, my right side upper front tooth (other dentist)
* discovery that Oh No Cannot Be Fixed Easily (this dentist)
* surgical removal (first surgeon appt)
* oss added (unsure what kind, may have happened during first appt)
* titanium socket implanted
* (nose surgery, related due to confirming my deviated septum on the surgeon's CT scan)
* implant uncovered & healing cap added (last surgeon appointment)
* (appointment with dentist, prior to this one) healing cap taken off, impression taken, healing cap hand-tightened back on
* this appointment: TOOTH!!!
More details below, cut for those who don't enjoy that kind of details. (Those visiting from a link and don't want to see, jump to comments)
( dental details and a gynecological metaphor )
We get to talk about night guards next time. I got a quote from this dentist, who said that perhaps the dentist office that takes my other insurance covers night guards (at all).
