Not aligned, unnatural smile

The teeth were replaced way out on the implants so I am back to that very un natural smile, again, and when I do smile I see the bright glee of sliver from the back implant. I also notice that they are not aligned, not even straight from my nose to the middle of the teeth! Further more, if things couldn't get crazy enough it does't feel as though the back implant is actually anchored on correctly. I saw Dr. Golpa for about 2 minutes outside of the time when he was in my mouth working on me. I had come with a list of questions, but forget that, there are no answers. Thanks for dropping me a note Teddiemc, I do realize that there are people with terrible teeth, or no teeth who are looking for a solution, this seems cheap and fast. I think that the cheapest products were used in my mouth. I saw an advertisement where one dentist can now use your existing denture, make some holes in it and use implants to anchor it in, that is all that this truly is. Just a cheap denture anchored in with implants from what I can tell, if that isn't so then I am always willing to know. It isn't designed for me. The hygienist, Amanda, has always remarked that I have a small mouth, when I have gone other places they needed to use a pediatric tray to do the castings. There is no personal design to this implant to take in account that I have a "small mouth"...... I have a family emergency and need to head on back to Colorado but am not even finished with the 4th trip to Vegas and already have problems. Biggest Regret of my Life.

Driving back to Vegas, 4th trip

This will be my fourth trip to Vegas. I had my procedure done on December 8th. I have combed every article on Dr. Golpa's website to find the problems that I have encountered, but seems everyone else had a perfect experience. I was back about six weeks ago because the entire bridge just snapped off, the very thin plastic that the denture was made of surprised me. I now have teeth that are wiggling about in my mouth. Because of the Mayweather fight I did not go a few days back as Vegas looked like a zoo. So here it is Sunday morning and I am going back for my 4th trip. My son is traveling with me. The bridge started feeling very loose over a week ago. I was out of state on business and could barely make it through the meetings. Loose fitting dentures must be a nightmare for those who wear them as loose fitting "dentures" on 4 implants is very bad. I wrote to Carlos several times and did not hear back from him. I have come to the conclusion that he will be there for me if I call, sometimes it is just difficult for me to call. I am a professional, I had a busy active life and since completing this procedure things have been sliding backwards for me. I am due to leave the US in July for an overseas posting and .... since December I have needed emergency and urgent visits with my dentist nearly every month. I would say overall that this has been one of the biggest mistakes of my life, if your teeth are very bad, if you have problems with your teeth then this could be the thing for you. My problem was not nearly as severe as this, I was interested in having a quick fix and realize that there might not be any such thing with such a dramatic procedure. I believe that the implants are placed way too far out on the gum line. Considering that I have a medical background I should have been able to put this together long ago. I now realize that I most likely will not ever have a "normal" life and I feel that my chance to go overseas is somehow going to be very difficult. After speaking with Carlos on Friday he encouraged me to come back and Dr. Golpa's office has always been more than fair financially with me. They have helped me with my expenses for these return emergency trips. I have just hid out in my room all week waiting for Sunday morning so that I can leave. After the chat with Carlos the teeth sort of when "pop" again and the impact on the far left is definitely just totally out of the denture, it isn't even in the "teeth" the second one on the left next to it, which supports the bridge is now very loose as well. So dreary, and to be frankly very depressing. If there was ever anything in my life I have deeply regretted, this is it. I have not found any type of solution, I have spent nearly every waking hour for the past months with teeth jiggling about and I am only hopeful that Dr. Golpa plans to do more than simply screw the denture back on tighter. I did ask for a referral closer to home but after discussing it with Carlos that does not seem to be a wise choice. On the road again....... just don't want to get on the road again.
