New doctor new smile
I've made a appointment for Dr. Golpa to take these implants out next week & give me my smile that I left in Cancun, Mexico. His prices are less than most having a full set of All in 4 in the USA. Plus I receive my permanent teeth within 24 hours after surgery. After 13 days in Cancun, plus needing to go back in 6 months, this is a dream & worth going through another surgery. He does ONLY implants. With his complete modern facility I toured, he has everything. He has a huge, I mean it's own building of lab with very futuristic looking machines. This lab has everything right next to his office. Look at his video

This lab was impressive. If I could smile I would have. I'm excited after the Mexico experience.
Finding out I was given less than the top quality Noble Biocare implants in Mexico, which I was promised pushed me over the edge. Knowing I have possible inferior implants in my body made me scared. I already have a disease that causes chronic pain & fatigue, I can not risk having anymore issues because of what's placed in my body. Im not saying these implants are bad but could be down the road, I don't like risking it.
More & more I think back & have huge questions. Cancun did my surgery in the hospital. They couldn't of had the equipment they use in their clinic, I didn't see any. I wonder how they placed my implants?
Re-reading their brochures, they're promises make me even wonder now if I'm doing the right thing. But then when reading I come across everything that. All in 4 should be & I don't have that. I know I can't go back so I need to quit doubting my decisions!
I guess going to Mexico showed me I need to do everything close to home in case something goes wrong. I feel I can trust Dr. Golpa to give me teeth that were similar to my originals but straight. He was very confident when we talked during my appointment. The temporary dentures I have are so unlike my original teeth, I was heartbroken when I saw them, I cried. Tiny typical old people looking dentures. I thought how am I going to wear these for 6 months? But I had surrendered at that point to them, my teeth were gone & feeling this & seeing it does something to you. Losing teeth is really hard on people. It's losing a part of yourself. Wearing these teeth is like having drug store teeth, IMO. If Cancun doctor couldn't get this right how would they with my permanents??? I cannot risk it any more & besides my husband won't allow me to go now. I convinced him before my first trip that my patient consultant would have my back while there. But I never even met him. I did have drivers but I also had to walk alone in very unfamiliar off beat place to find food. I had to maintain my self confidence while there but I also had that uncomfortable awareness that this may not be safe.
Praying for God to give me a better experience & I can help others when making such a life changing decision. Next Friday, I'll have my smile. No more hiding my mouth. ????

G4 surgery?? scared...
I saw Dr. Golpa yesterday. They did X-rays & a scan, saw his fully equipped lab! He's really nice & spent quite a bit of time with me.
The idea of having surgery again terrifies me but after this nightmare his G4 sounds like dream & day after surgery getting permanent teeth!!! That sounds amazing. (this means removing all my implants for new ones) He's done this many times, even patients who's been to Mexico & had problems. I'm not having problems just not what I asked for.
I look so horrible living with just these top temporary teeth that are tiny in size & look like dated cheap old lady teeth. What's worse is I have to get my drivers license renewed in November!!! Carrying a picture of me for years to remind me of this?? Ugh..
I can't go back to Cancun knowing I may leave with less than what I want my permanent teeth to be. At Dr. Golpa, they'll try to give me my personality back with what my real teeth were like except straight & no overbite. In Cancun? Who knows after this experience. Plus Golpa's teeth are the top of the line, no chipping or breaks.
I have a lot to think about! ????
