He said that there is a 1% chance of my body rejecting it again so he is fairly confident I won't have another issue.... and that he will not charge me for re-treatment. I just don't know if the site itself is not able to take an implant. My oral surgeon only goes on xrays but i wish he offered some sort of 3D technology to see if there is something else going on.

By the way the root canal that was in my tooth was there for years, over 20 years as I had an accident as a young child. It only became painful after I bit something hard which seemed to trigger an infection in the tooth, I was in a lot of pain and it had to be removed.

In your opinion would you try again with the implant, or would the risk be too much?
