Hello Bryanna,

Not sure if you remember me. I was that root canal queen who have all my 10 root canaled teeth removed last summer. Original I was hoping I can get used to partial denture and get my health improved. However, I invested nearly 10K with dentures, two valplasts, one cast metal. None of them pain free. Valplast constantly cause gum pain even after 10 times adjustment. Cast metal is a really big chunk of metal and also cause weird sense when my tongue touches the plate.

Now I'm seriously thinking about implants. Originally I was scared of putting metal in my jawbone, but now I have no choice, I'm thinking if I can accept this big piece of metal denture in mouth, I would rather accept implants, at least they are comfortabe.

My dilemma is, me and my husband are planning to do an IVF this year, I'm 43, I don't want to further delay this project. But I'm confused whether I should do implants before or after pregnancy. If before, I'm worried pregnancy will negatively affect the bone regrowth with posts. If after pregnancy, which will be two years later, I'm worried too much bone loss already.

Sorry I throw you a really complicated story, but if you can give me any positive suggestion or information, I would be very appreciated. I really need a montor at this important crossroad.

Thanks!
