• Dental Implant Incompetence

  Can you help me? I had two dental implants placed. One of them felt loose to me. I went back to the dentist and he did an x-ray and said that the implant itself was fine. He felt it was just a matter of the dental crown being loose. He said that was easy to…

• Implant Bridge Does Not Match My Bite

  I had a dental implant bridge placed, but it does not match up with the rest of my bite. Now the side of my teeth with the dental bridge hits first when I bite down, which hurts a LOT. I am wondering if the surgeon did something wrong. He insisted that he was in charge…

• Implant Placed With Poor bone Density

  I need some advice about how to proceed. I went to a dentist about getting a dental implant. My dentist does not do them, so I looked for someone who advertised. We did a consultation, he took some x-rays, and said everything was fine. The day of the surgery, though, he told me when he…
