Yesterday had 4 implants with bone graft to support new upper bridge.have flipper while healing.Following day after swelling subsided, note aesthetic and functional problem, cannot speak properly, teeth too short, palate thick,bulky. Have natural high lip area with overbite . Looks like lab corrected overbite without my permission, teeth look caved inward,mouth looks sunken.Since my lips have space in middle, looks like I have no teeth now.My job requires public speaking daily .
