What would you do?
My mouth is a mess. I got 3 teeth prepped for caps. Two molars in back of an implant and one in front of the implant. Since that appointment, which they prepped the teeth and put on temp caps, my mouth kills when drinking and in general.
So I go back and he says that the implant is leaking some puss and is infected and there's some bone missing around the bottom of the implant. Now what he did when prepping the teeth was shove thread up in my gums for whatever reason.
Now there was no pain at the site of the implant prior to this. It hurts slightly but does not account for the pain of drinking cold liquids. I think one of the teeth possibly needs a root canal. I paid this guy 1/2 of $5000 to have this job done. Now I'm looking at going to see the periodontist (implant guy) to see about the implant and possibly a bone graph and then a root canal.
So my thought is that I will go and see another implant guy, have all 3 teeth ripped out, the existing implant fixed and then an estimate for 3 new implants instead of the crowns. My teeth are like this. You tap on a tooth and then it needs a root canal. Now I could do a root canal on one of the teeth, which would be about $1200, and possibly in the future, the other 2 would need root canals, which is highly possible.
So my thought is to have these three ripped out, and implants put in and hopefully that would be the end of it for these 3 teeth. That would be a total of 8 implants. More expensive, but 3 more teeth I'll never have to pay these fvckers to mess with ever again.
Whadaya experts think?
