This new x-ray was taken 5 months after surgery and I honestly think there has been no bone integration at all compared to scan taken 2 weeks after surgery…I can even see bone loss in a couple of spots and movement of front upper right implant - circled in 1st x-ray) on this second scan since procedure. Am I right??
See before pic - result of rapid deterioration due to medications and bruxism post an accident causing multiple physical injuries - the scan after surgeries and current temporary bridge pics. In late Nov 2025 I had removal of 25 teeth, bilateral sinus lifts, bone grafts, gum grafts and placement of 6 upper and 6 lower titanium implants in Sydney (Australia). Next day had first temporary bridges fitted. Am now up to 4th set of temps. I have the FP1 bridges so they are not bulky at all. But always ill fitting from my perspective. Pain was always manageable (long gone now) but the discomfort of each new set of bridges and soft tissues and muscles due to this, and my brain and tongue constantly trying to map out these changes, is quite literally sending me mad. I just continuously and involuntarily move my mouth. I still can’t chew. So eating is no longer a pleasure at all. At every appoint, I am told things look great. And LOOK great they do, but they don’t feel great. I am so very depressed now and consumed by it all. I very much believe I was sold a lie. I should have just gone the traditional denture route because at least I could have taken them out and had a break when I felt like it. Or perhaps even the more predictable FP3 bridges all on 4/6/X. I am not even looking forward to the permanent bridges because, having FP1s means it really is only the material (zirconia/porcelain) that is going to change. Everything else will remain as it is now. Has anyone else struggled with severe depression after dental implants? Also just putting it out there to people thinking of having all on 4/6/X done to be very mindful of potential mental health issues. Full of regret and don’t think my life will ever be the same.
