The implant was inserted at the same time that a partial bone graft was done. 3.5 months later, the oral surgeon opened it up to attach the abuttment. He said that the bone had not osseointegrated and that the implant was a failure. What could have gone wrong? I had implant surgery.

The dentist recommended implants and also the removal of some healthy teeth stating that it would look more uniform to do them all in implants. He used Ankylos implants and some of them immediately failed. He refused to re-imburse her for the ones that failed, as she paid for the total treatment plan up front ($27,000). She began having problems immediately. She would call his office, and he refused to return her calls. Her teeth, after paying $27,000 to this general dentist, look like teeth you would buy in a holloween store. Also, not many dental professionals in Nevada use Ankylos, so she is having trouble finding somebody to fix them. She is walking around looking like a freak. I would advise that anyone considering implants, or if your general dentist suggests placing them, to get another opinion from a prosthodontist and a periodontist. We are currently living a nightmare. My Mother went to a general dentist in Reno, NV to have a bridge re-done.

I was missing a front tooth from birth, and also had an overbite and the roof of my mouth was very narrow. The bottom and the top did not "bite" together. I had a Dr. in Az who was going to do both top and bottom, changed my mind, went to a "max" in Reno, he only did bottom. Interestly, he wanted to put a implant in my chin, and also pull my chin back. I decided to do only the implant which included trying to corrected my lower bite, and only just before surgery did I find out by the anasethologist did I find out that one procedure nullified the other procedure. $$$. The orthodontist who put my braces on, which I had for 3 years was supposed to make a space wide enough for an implant in the spot where I had been missing the tooth. Well, he didn't make the space large enough. Now I'm relegated to a glued in fake tooth. I am very furious. Is there anyone who can do smaller implants? THANKS I am an older woman in Reno, Nevada.
