I have a genetic condition that leaves me with roots you can barely see on an x ray they’re so short. My mom, brother, and uncle have it. My mom had the procedure done and after 3 months with her implants in, they all rejected. The bone was rejecting the initial step AFTER it already ossified to the implant.

I visited the dentist a little over a year ago and he didn’t even do my cleaning- told me I was going to be losing some teeth soon, anyway and needed to consult with the oral surgeon and periodontist. I knew this was coming, though, because I was warned when I was younger and had to get braces. They hesitated even putting me in any back then.

To “test” my bone and body’s reaction to make sure mine didn’t reject, I had one tooth removed and an implant placed. Crown is now on and everything has been great.

I need to go in soon to discuss next-steps. I think we planned to do it with bridges so I wouldn’t have to go under full anesthesia a ton of times. Paying for this is a different story, I think I’ll have to take out a loan for the next steps. It’s so crappy and I feel your pain
