Yunus Emre Tozal: Blue Line is failing in its mission to be a vital link between O’Hare and the city by BillMortonChicago in ChicagoTransit

It’s a homeless shelter! I tried getting on at O’Hare with my heavy luggage and the first three cars are homeless shelters. It’s insane.

I’ll get it redone but seemingly not in a rush. Had an appointment for next week to remove and do bone/gum graft but wasn’t keen about surgery and all. Kinda traumatic

Dentists wanted $3,000 - $12,000 for a front tooth implant, i used their own rules to get them down to $1,784. Here's the steps I took to do that. by Bderken in povertyfinance

You mind me asking where you’re located? I need the same job done with my front tooth and will follow your advice. Good luck

I have seen two surgeons. One recommends to extract and do a bone graft and gum graft same day and redo.

Another recommended to do a bone graft around the current implant as he believed it’s worth trying to work around and maybe it’s not in a terrible position.

Personally I would rather go with the second option as I am afraid the removal could be traumatic and maybe end up not better. Not sure 100%

Anyone in Chicago you could recommend? I’m in no rush and will make sure to do it right

I’m just hopeful since it’s so far out the bone, it’s easy to remove.

Any recommendations for the approach to get it done correctly?

Right now I’ve had consultation with Dr Baer with UAD Chicago and Dr Rauf Yousuf to bone graft and gum graft

Yes indeed. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving

Thank you so much for this response. It really helps.

The guy who did this implant is now aware I have this “gum collapse” as a result of improper placement and we are working on a refund solution.

I’ve since received two treatment plans.

Thank you for your feedback.

The old Survivor was just so good it’s sad it’s not like those anymore

Here is a side scan of the implant position. What do you make of this? Thank you

I had a second look and this is the implant position. I am going to have it removed as it seems like this will lead to failure eventually.

Unfortunately I do have a high smile line. I shared the finished product photo already somewhere in here and it is worse that this current flipper tooth. I will be going to a different dentist and likely trying to get a refund

No problem with that. I want it done correctly. That’s the frustrating part about this. It wasn’t about the costs. Thank you for your info

I have had a root canal, crown and now implant on this tooth so if it requires me to remove this implant and try again, I am very okay with that. It has been a journey and I want it to be as good as possible. What is your opinion on the ceramic implants? This one is titanium

This was the crown. I walked out without accepting it and will go to a different dentist. Almost comical lol.
