One year checkup
So it's been almost a year since I had the G4 procedure done and I'm still satisfied with the results.
I went back a month early for my one year check up because my husband was having the procedure done so we just did it all in one trip. I had some minor adjustment to the top bridge to make it easier to floss the implant up there. I also found out I am not doing a very good job cleaning the center front lower bridge. Had some build up there so am now using a TEPE angled peri brush to clean under there. Time will tell if it helps. Thanks to Ashley, Cat, Jesus, Nicole and Dr T. The team makes these visits easy and painless.
A I mentioned above, my husband got the G4 treatment while we were there. He had been in dentures for about 3 years and hated every moment of it. Could never get them to fit properly. He needed a couple of extra implants (eleven total) and seemed to have more swelling and pain than I had but less bruising. It's now been 12 days since his surgery and he is still icing and occasionally taking Motrin. But he is very happy with the outcome and is thrilled he can comfortably eat again.
One thing I wanted to mention that we both thought was a bit strange. When picking out his color for his teeth he was thinking of the middle color we were shown which was a white but not bright bleached white. They told him that Dr Golpa had a meeting with the staff and said he did not want the "older" population leaving the office with white teeth and the only color he could get was the natural. Dr Golpa's website before and afters as well as the videos all show older people with white teeth. Seems strange that he would advertise one thing and then tell you another when you get there. My husband got the natural color (the only color available to him and the color I got) and is happy but who knows if he would have been happier with white? If you are thinking of having this done you may want to keep this in mind.

First check-up
Went back to Las Vegas last week for my first check-up. I never gave much thought to how exactly they would take the bridges out. The covering over the screws has to be drilled out and then the screws are unscrewed and some type of ring removed. It's a lengthy process. And my first thought upon hearing that drill was "wait - I'm not numb yet" but there's no pain I just felt mild pressure. I was having some difficulty flossing around one of the upper end implants. There wasn't enough room between the bridge and my palate for the floss to fit. They made a new set of bridges which were inserted the following day. The bite on those bridges was better than the bite on my old bridges but I really did not like the aesthetics. The teeth were very different from my original set and to me looked like fake plastic teeth. They ended up putting back my original set (so glad they saved them) and relined and adjusted some things. I had had some small problems with blowing air and salivia through the top between my bridge and gum but the reline fixed that. They feel great. When I return in six months they will be making me another set of bridges to fix a small occlusion problem with my original set. I was given the option to change color but I stuck with what I have. My coloring doesn't look good with very white teeth. The set I have now has a bit of a beige look to them and look very natural with my coloring.
As always, a big thank you to Cat, Dr T and Dr Anna and of course Ashley. I also met Jesus this trip and he is also very nice.
If you are reading this as part of your research to determine if this is something you want to do, I urge you to call Dr Golpa's offfice and talk with them. They really are top notch people and I think you will be more than happy with the results. I don't have one minute's regret about having this procedure done. In fact, when I return in six months, we're hoping to have the money together so my husband, who has had dentures the past 3 years, can get the full Dr Golpa treatment.
