I had 4 implants in 2009 to secure my denture. In 2012 1 implant below my sinuses broke off. I had bone graphs on the implants closest to my sinuses. I have visited with doctors and they have suggested to remove the implants and replace with 5 in different places with permanent denture screwed to implants.

Do you have any suggestions?
