How to get compensation for implant that failed twice?

Tooth #3 was implanted in 2004, failed and reimplanted in2006, now failed again dec. 2010. How can I get the periodontist to refund me for all the pain and suffering. This job requires extraction of mobile implant then bone graft to fill void. 6-7 months of healing before implant can be done for the 3rd time. I do not want the same dr to install the implant again. What can I do? My dentist totally supports this referral and feels work should be done by him even though I told him there are serious TRUST issues.


This discussion is related to bad implant and seek for advice.

I believe there several reasons such as not using antibiotics to flush out the infection before and after procedure, bad choice of drilling and alignment, using too big of a crown causing occlusion problems. I could give you even more reasons but the problem is that the dentist who referredthe periodontist sticks up for him like he is a saint and says that these things do happen you know.

I think alot would have to do with WHY the implant failed.  
Do you know why your implant failed?
