1 /5 Andy Brown: I had a dental implant which has gone horribly wrong due to poor installation by the dentist. My recommendation is to think carefully about saving a few thousand dollars and to go to a practice specialising in implants. Instead of drilling the hole for the implant perpendicular with the jaw this dentist drilled at such an angle it actually perforated the jaw. Instead of the forces going straight through the implant they acted to peel the implement like a banana and the implant split and failed after only 6 years. I have just had surgery to remove the implant which took 2 hours and involved drilling the bone around the implant. Total cost just to remove the implant and have a bone graft to fill the hole was $2000 and now I am back to square one with a missing tooth and total spend to date close to $7000 plus the time and pain of surgery. It is now going to take another $7000 and another year with a missing tooth to have the implant re-done correctly.
