I’ll make this as short as possible because my actual question is: does anyone have a fixed bridge and if so are you happy with it, does it feel strange, can you eat normally?
I’ve had a couple of implants done in the past with zero issues.
This time one DDS did it (including the bone placement) and the implant fell out 2 weeks after it was placed. He referred me to a dentist (who is also an MD) who does difficult cases, who felt he could successfully do the implant.
Did the bone graft, 4 months later implant was placed.
Fell out.
He went and put more bone in, implant 5 months later and one full year later, today, I went to have the prep done for the final crown and when the dentist went to take the healing cap off the implant came out with it.
The most confusing part is usually implants fail in people who are in poor health or smoke or have medical conditions that impact healing. This does not describe me.
So at this point after many surgeries and lots of money I have the one option of doing a bridge. I don’t know anyone who has one so while I can listen all day to the dentist tell me how wonderful they are I want to hear from an actual person who has had one done.
Thank you in advance. I’m trying to be positive but what a letdown.
