I had implant done on tooth #10 in the middle of April, 2008. the doctor who is a general dentist did extraction and put the implant the same day.I had mild swollen during the first two days after the surgery, and after that, no pain, no swollen. etc.
strange things happen, my front gum which cover the implant don't grow and the hole under the implant dose not close . From the x-ray of my implant, I found that my implant is too close to tooth #9 and the bone in between my implant and tooth #9 not grow much to integrate with the implant.
I could also see the implant through my front gum, the gray color show off.
I deeply worried and began to consult with some oral surgeons and some implant specialist. When they see the x-ray, all their first reaction is: This implant is not good. So, I took a CT Scan to see the implant 3-dimension.
There is no bone to cover the outer side of my implant AT ALL.
Oral surgeon said this implant definitely need to be taken out. otherwise, it will damage my gum and will bring other problems. SO, I will ask an oral surgeon to take my implant out, do bone graft, and redo implant again. Which means I have to go through a serious of painful and lengthy process again.
I don't want to give the doctor who did implant for me a hard time, as far as he full refund me, I will let him go.
But what I could do to reasonably protect myself if the doctor who did implant for me don't refund me? What other action I could do ? Thanks.
