Thank you for your response, Bryanna!
I have seen an Oral surgeon (and saw another for a second opinion), I had special scans done of my mouth, and they believe I am a candidate for dental implants-- thank God!
Within the next two weeks I will be having all of my teeth extracted. Because of my medical condition, they are going to do it in the hospital, and I will be in the ICU for a few days for observation.
When the implants can be put in really all depends on how I recover from the extraction surgery-- the implants may be able to be put in anywhere from 2 weeks- 3 months after, according to the surgeon.
While I am still so devastated that this is happeneing, I am SO relieved that I will be able to get implants. I am only in my 30's, if I had to spend the rest of my life with dentures, I don't think I would even want to live that way.
Mary-- I am so sorry that you have gone through this as well. I wish you the best. You're in my prayers!
