I used Dr. Caylor to pull a tooth and prepare my other one for implant by placing bone in it. It does take a few months to get but the wait is relatively painless. You can eat just fine while the post is in there waiting for the crown. It's expensive but I wouldn't not do it because of the wait and pain because it was a non-issue for me. Make sure the doc takes the special x-ray beforehand to see just how deep he can put the implant without harming your sinuses that is key. Doctor Caylor did put me under for the implant insertion.
