This surgeon has a nifty brochure with a lot of info and appears to have many good reviews but I heard that can be manipulated. was good so, off I went: He said he doesn't feel comfortable because my mouth is a "unique situation." Sent me to a surgeon that said I can get "All on 4", same day, and then the Prosthodontist will care for me afterward until I get the permanent bridge (and he said I do have plenty of bone.) The Prosthodontist wants to go to my surgery to collaborate w/surgeon. Went to a another opinion since there doesn't seem to be a consensus w/anyone. She put me in an Occlusal Guard to help move my jaw where it belongs. My NEW primary/temporary? dentist said no implants- they won't work and right now dentures probably won't work either unless I use the goop to keep them in place. His other choice said NO implants because of the Reclast. One of his surgeons said six implants to support denture. Second Prosthodontist said I must have a pallet if I get implant supported dentures. My old primary dentist (40+ yrs) referred me to a Prosthodontist who tried to tell me I need this stock denture. Depending on who I talk to, some say from Reclast, Osteoporosis, etc. I have lost a lot of bone in my mouth and my teeth are rapidly falling out in my upper arch. Shocking but I also have depression and anxiety too. ![]() I've had 12 or 13 surgeries in the past ten years (six shoulder, 4 or 5 foot from a failed bunionectomy that broke/dislocated six joints in my other toes, back, so now I have PTSD and panic when I go in for any procedure. I will probably need the "big operation" in the near future, but he can fix the one disc outside the curve. Third opinion (to break the tie.) Of course, he said they are both right. Second opinion said, sure, he can fix the one outside the curve. ![]() He refused to fix any because two are inside the curve and the one outside will make my back collapse. I have had scoliosis since I was ten but always thought it only involved two discs. Two yrs ago, the orthopedic surgeon said I need a rod in my back & have three smashed discs. I have Osteoporosis, RA, OA, severe scoliosis, severe arthritis throughout my spine, neuropathy, and other stuff. Multiple health issues but primary question now is regarding my mouth.
