I just experienced a very scary situation!
A certain area in my mouth has been bothering me for a long time
and just recently, in the past few days, it's been hurting.
Last night I decided to really look at the area.
It appeared ok, but maybe a little redness.
I touched the implant and it moved, also hurting me at the same time!
Well the 'F' word flew out of my mouth and then the overwhelming sense of despair.
Called the Oral Surgeon and they got me in right away this morning.
He saw it move too!
So, they took a CT Scan and brought me to a surgery room.
The plan was to remove the implant and if the bone looked healthy,
he was going to install a new, larger implant.
He deadened the area and then torqued the implant.
It did not budge at all!
So, he changed the abutment (screw top) to a flatter one that wouldn't stick up so high.
So a loose abutment caused the illusion of a loose implant!
WHOO HOO!!!!
Now I'm riding Cloud 9!
That happened to me too But my dentist knew what it was right away.He was a smart dentist that's why he was able to be so malicious towards me in the end when he just wanted my money because I complained about him after I tried to leave his practice And he basically didn't let me so I had to go to a different surgeon from the same practice at another facility instead of just going to an outside surgeon that would have done it correctly
