I had a dental implant placed 20 years ago in #15 it was placed same day as tooth removal & caused nerve damage to Maxillary branch of Trigeminal Nerve & chronic pain. 13 years later I had the implant removed (the oral surgeon who originally placed it refused to remove it). Would you advise me to not get dental implants anywhere else in my mouth? Just curious for the future. I am a 53 yr old female in good health.

Answer: New dental implants after nerve damage from dental implant?
For dental implants what makes them be firm and long lasting is the quality of the bone where the implant will be attached. If they are loose or already have fallen you might be a candidate for bone grafting, after this treatment is done (minimum 2 months after) the implants can be attached
Ma`am, to be able to analyze if you need bone grafting the Scan should show the lateral of your jaws in both sides, more angles the doctor can see better to be sure how much of bone graying will be needed,
As far as I observe from the images, your frontal teeths misalignment could fix without orthodontics treatment. Your teeths could be getting cut and then veneers will cover your existing tooths. The material could be laminate or zirconia depending on your budget or choice.
