Dental implant bone loss?

User Avatar
Rhinoplasttyy
Had implant placed about a year ago i noticed some inflammation and went back to the dentist last week he told me I lost a lot of bone due to plaque buildup? I brush my teeth twice daily and after wearing my retainer at night the inflammation is worse. i ALWAYS brush. Now looking at meeting with a gum specialist and have a 2nd surgery as a student I dont know how I am suppose to afford all this? Is it worth getting a second opinion or do I have any other options?
