Q.
Hi, I have just discovered this site. I am about to go to Budapest (in 3 weeks) to undergo 10 extractions (currently under bridges that became loose from chewing nicorette gum – gave up the disgusting cigarette habit two years ago, but recently chewed a few gums and hence the loose 10 and 4 element bridges done 12 years ago). I will have 14 implants placed as well as 2 x sinus bovine bone grafts. I have been given a time frame of 3 days to do this. Seems very short to me. What do you think? Also, the clinic I will attend in Budapest does not have video-assisted implantation technology? Should I proceed? It’s only since I discovered this and other sites this weekend that I am really discovering the pros/cons/risks of implants. I’m worried that without video-assisted implantation methodoly and MRI that the result could be nerve disturbance or penetration of the sinus cavity. The clinic I will be attending has many specialists, both in implantology, oral surgery, ENT, etc. Do you think I should ask for a more spread out treatment. I am used to pain, as I am in my fifties and had my first bridge at 21. The ones I have now are 12 years old. Many thanks for your reply should you send me one. I would greatly appreciate it.,
