Hi Bryanna,

That was a heart felt advise. Thank you very much, i needed that in my currently confused state. This whole ordeal is really taking its toll, i couldn't eat, talk, & sleep properly. I just hope i could reach you personally to see my case, it seems that you spent more time analysing my situation than my current dentist

There was no post op image/scan i could send you, i have pictures taken from
My phone which i can maybe send you?

I will update you as i traverse this misery.

Thank you very much,
Fridy

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I have many, many years in oral surgery as a chair-side assistant and I can easily visualize what you are telling me. I have seen and partaken in this type of "heroic" and invasive surgery countless times and many times the patient was given the impression, by the dentist, that this was a routine oral surgery and that the success rate was high. To be very honest with you, it is not routine surgery in the least and the success rate of implant integration is very unlikely.

I think at this point you can see, given how many times you have had top undergo surgery in the last 2 years, that this is not routine surgery. I also think you can see that the FAILURE rate of integration of the implants is highly likely given that the lateral implants are visible indicating that they are not embedded in your jaw bone. They are actually held in by very little bone and mostly soft tissue. You should not be able to feel them underneath your nose. That sensation also indicates they are not embedded in bone, but rather in soft tissue.

They keep putting more bone graft on top of the receded bony ridge and keep trying to fill in the areas of hollow bone that they have created with each surgery. No amount of graft material is going to be stable enough to hold implants. As I mentioned earlier, the graft material is only a catalyst, it cannot take the place of your own jaw bone. A catalyst in this situation is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction which is meant to stimulate the growth of new bone. However, the graft (catalyst) needs to be packed INTO healthy, subtantial bone in order for it to stimulate your cells to grow new bone. Placing the graft (catalyst) on top of receded bone does not stimulate your cells to grow new bone. Therefore, the graft will eventually recede, be absorbed by the body, or just lay there and never solidify enough to hold a dental implant. Dental implants that are not held in by the jaw bone will become infected and/or fall out on their own.

Also, something to consider with all of this invasive dental work is the toll that it's taking on your overall health. With each surgery, with each bone graft you run a high risk of developing a systemic (physical) infection. Not just in the immediate area of the surgery, but elsewhere in your body as the bacteria is traveling throughout your bloodstream. If they have not informed you of this type of infection, then I feel they may not be taking your overall health into consideration as they continue to put you through this horrendous ordeal.

You do have a choice. You can see how this is not going at all as they told you it would. Unfortunately, continuing on this path with them is not going to result in a positive outcome. It would be best to get a completely different oral surgeon to evaluate your case before this escalates any further. The dental treatment to remedy this will also be complicated. However, the sooner you address this, the better the outcome will be. You may also be able to recapture the money you spent on this work if you don't wait too long to seek other help to remedy it.

Again, I know you are in a terrible situation. I cannot stress enough how much you need to trust your instinct on this and move forward with seeking help from a completely different dental practice and oral surgeon.
