===============================================================

I'm not letting others dictate my treatment. I just asked if anyone
would provide their experience or feedback. From what I'm told this is
really very new. So, there is some risk. Where I live only 2 surgeons
do this. Mine and one other.
I lost my top teeth .. All 8 would be on top.
The original plan was to allow the grafts to heal then proceed with the
implants, then later the abutments.
The grafts look good so far. Had x-rays a couple of weeks ago. He is
happy to let me wait as long as I want. He said the bone only gets
better.
I'm shooting for September, which would be a year. He took bone from my
tibia.
He just started doing this a few months ago. I haven't committed to it
yet, but there is quite a bit to like about it. It's quicker, less
invasive, and less expensive.
Again, I am concerned about the new teeth being made in another
country.
I don't think most dentists will care for it either. Can't blame them.
I see my dentist next month, and plan to talk to him.
