Answers:
I got two put in when I was younger!. Basically, you go in for surgery and they'll open up your gum and insert a rod deep into the bone!. They'll put what's called a cone-shaped "healing cap" on, that will help in making sure the gum grows back properly!. They'll put biodegradable stitches in to close the area!. It's a very easy procedure and I barely remember much from it!. It's actually the most painful part of the whole process though, so if you can get over this part, you'll be great!. There'll be some swelling of the gum in that area and some oozing and bleeding, but they give you medications so you stay pretty drugged up for quite some time :P I'm not entirely sure how long the wait was between the healing cap and the next cap but eventually you come back and they take off the healing cap and put a smaller cap on - I don't remember the exact name of the cap, but it's a lot smaller and flatter, so you can wear it with a retainer!. Depending on where the implants are, they may give you a retainer that has fake teeth on it so you look like you have teeth!. Mine were the two on each side beside the front two teeth, so I had a retainer that had two teeth on them!. After about 6-9 months or so, the gums will heal entirely and the doctor will discuss options and colors for the teeth that will attach to those new posts that were implanted!. It'll take a little while to match the teeth to the exact color you're wanting!. Mine were particularly hard to do, since most people have brown-white teeth; mine are blue-white, so it took a LONG time to finally match them up properly!. Lots of times where we had to send them back and get a different color!. That took probably about a year to figure out and finally get right!. They'll apply a local anesthetic - a few shots in the area and a spray that will completely numb the area - and then unscrew the cap that they put on your gums!. When it's time to, they'll bond the teeth to those posts, using some sort of paste!. They'll give a little shot of something to boost up the gum right above the implants to make it look more natural!. And then!.!.!. you're all done! :D The area will be really sensitive to floss for a while, but eventually things will get better!.
I hope that answered your question :) The only problem is that it's probably best to wait as long as possible (if you're a child/teen) to get them put in!. I was 15 when I had mine done, but I had to have LOTS of tests to make sure that my bones were finished growing entirely!. It wasn't that much of a problem, but lots of x-rays and stuff!. The issue is that the bone itself doesn't move, but the gums grow!. If you get them put in too early, you risk having the posts end up being covered up and having to be redone when the gums grow too much as you get older!. Luckily, It's been about four years or so for mine and they're absolutely fine!. Haven't had any problems!. I do think that you are supposed to replace the teeth themselves in like twenty or thirty years, but I don't have to worry about that for a while, and I'm sure it'll be a pretty simple process :P
