I am 72 year old, caucasian woman. I had all my teeth removed in august and 5 implants on the upper and 5 on the lower, and upper and lower temporaries attached. The temporaries are asymmetrical, the centers are not aligned, the arches are protruding up to 1/2 cm away from my gums, there are bulky parts on my floor and on my palate making it difficult to talk, I only touch one or two points, my smile is crooked. The dentist does not consider correcting anything before the wax try in after 6 month.
My present fixed upper denture keeps coming out due to lack of supports. I am 65 yrs old, had a open heart bypass 10 yrs back, diabetic well controlled, physically fit. I want advise based on the x-ray attached.
I am 65 160 pounds in good health. I went to my dentist because a tooth number 18 was moving. The doctor said come in he would pop the tooth off and tighten the implant then put the tooth back on. When he removed it . There was a really back smell. When I asked him about the smell he said the was normal. Is it ? I brush and use mouth wash two times a day.
I had all my top teeth pulled and implants and a temp put in on the same day. I have an appointment in a few days for xrays and impressions. I had to pay 25,000.00 up front, which was a huge amount from my retirement fund. I am 69 years old. Any questions I should ask him would be helpful. It has been 2 months now and all the teeth are lose. Should I be concerned? He filed them down some. He hates the look and color, as do I. He said I am healing fast so I only have to wait 2 months for the permanent teeth.
