Bad Metallic taste after dental implants

[Vahvah]

After dental work and implants I have a metallic horrible taste and have lost ability to taste food.  Everything tastes horrible.  My doctor has sent me for numerous tests and procedures.. MRI, blood test, CT scan and etc.  all tests have came back negative for any root cause.  I have had numerous dental procedures and gum surgery.  My tasting problem started when my dentist unscrewed the healing caps for my implants.  I had a horrible metallic taste that my dentist told me would go away.  Ever since this I have lost my normal ability to taste, and no one can say why.  I feel my dentist is afraid to admit there is a correlation for my condition and my dental procedures.  Please help.  I'm desperate to enjoy food again and I am terrified I may have a serious medical condition.

I  have had the metal taste after dental work, but it always went away after a few weeks.  I assume it has been much longer for you, and am sorry that I can't be of much help.  It might help speed the process of an answer along though, if you would include the information of how long you have had this problem.  If you suspect that your concerns are not being taken seriously by your dentist, you can go to another dentist who is not affiliated with you dentist for a second opinion.  
Hope you can get some good answers soon,
