Dental Implants gone wrong

by Marlene
(Calgary, AB)

I had dental implants put on the bottom of my mouth. They pulled all my teeth and put in 4 implants and a bar. It has been over a year and I still do not have a plate on the bottom. Do you know who or where I can go to get an assessment on the damage that was done by all three of the doctors that were involved?

Someone in Calgary that is not afraid to speak out. I have been quoted by a specialist on how to fix this but he wants an extra 17000.00 over and above of what I have paid. I want to sue the doctors that did this bad job and get it fixed.

Implants gone wrong
by: Renee M

I know the feeling - I had implants put in the top of mouth 3 years ago - The dentist has been
toying with me - My front teeth do not line up -
I told him that the surgeon made the error & should correct them. - He says he can fix it - Three years later I still have the same bad look - The whole mouth it out of wack, plus I huge overbite
I am at my wits end ....This cost me $45,000.00.
I was a fool to invest this much in my mouth, but it's to late to cry over spilled milk...I am trying to find out what I can do to correct the Surgeon & dentist mistakes!!!!!

my teeth look like fingernails
by: Anonymous

I got a full set of dental implants. it was a year long process in which much pain was endured. first I got dentures, then screws in my mouth, then ceramic covers, and then these misaligned and the teeth are 2 inches long from the fake looking gum attached to them.

I told my dentist how un-pleased i was and i look like my teeth are too long and set back in too far. He said i would get used to them, I paid 70,000.00 to this man and he says i will get used to them?

I don't know if I have any choices if he just refuses to please me. I am so sad at this new ugly look I have been given.I am 52 and look about 70 now. these were a gift from a relative and they are gross.

I had a bridge installed over 15 years ago. Last summer the bridge broke (it was attached to 2 teeth)while I was eating a piece of bread.
I went to my local Dentist who I had been seeing for about 2 years. He took a mold and I had a flipper made for my Upper 3 teeth (8,9,10).
I went to an Oral Surgery Office that my Dentist recommended. The cost to have what was left of the 2 teeth removes and implants placed was over $6000.00. Well one of the implants did not take and I had to have a bone graft, and then let it heal and then have a new implant put in.
I am now almost 14 month's into this ordeal and I find out that the implant that was put in twice is slanted backwards and away from the nearest tooth. It makes impossible to make the new bridge fit properly. The teeth slant towards the front of the mouth and leaves a gap at the gum line.
My new Dentist spent several hours trying to get it to work with results that did not satisfy him.
