Dental Implants: Stories

I had to have dental implants since my 12 year old bridge broke a few years ago, it is a very long and arduous process but I think it was pretty much worth it and I had no other choice if I wanted teeh.

My complaints are that the arch on the side with my implants is way too high so when I smile big you can see that, it was not that way with the bridge :-( anyway I had bone grafting done so that would not be an issue but it ended up being one, also my 2 front teeth have shifted and seem more buckish since the implants as well, over all I am ok with it, better than having NO teeth right?? not a lot of fun with the surgeries and all but again no choice really so i'm ok with them*

actually my smile has continued to change and not for the better, seems the implants has pushed my 2 front teeth forward and the arch on the side where the bridge impant is is way to high due to bone loss(thought my bone graft would take care of that?) I had braces 16 years ago and now it seems I wasted my money :-( I still rather have the implants so I can eat properly but appearance wise not thrilled, if you are having a tooth replaced soon after it gets pulled I'm sure you won't have the results I have, they r great but my teeth shifted and I had to much bone loss.
