How can I make sure that my dental implants are being done to the best standard?

Q.
I’m currently going through 5 tooth implants. I’m very suspicious the dentists doing the work aren’t much good. Every time i go for an appointment the seem too interested in the next appointment and they keep leaving things to be done next appointment, One of the Titanium posts has been left bare, one of the plastic implants is slightly loose, that tooth seems to be too thin and the implant next to it seems to be too big, which looks ugly. Should i be worrying, particularly as this is costing a lot of money, i don’t expect total perfection but this does not seem right. and the of the large implants at the back is not straight and at an angle and is a bad food trap.

I don’t quite understand when you say ‘plastic implant’
dental implants ae titanium rods that are surgically screwed into your jaw bone.
If you have any issues regarding your treatment, you really need to get a 2nd opinion from either another dentist at the practice or another dental clinic to see if things look ok.
As for the angle of the implant, that is fine- as long as the bone levels surround the implant, you shouldn’t have any issues.
I hope this has helped.
