@jenniferhunter You went thru a lot! I'm sure it was very expensive. Nice to meet someone else who had infection eat thru bone and wind up in their hard palate. You give me hope this will come to an end. Just hoping there isn't a hole into my R maxillary sinus that needs to be fixed.

@arbez I had a very good oral surgeon and he got everything cleared up. It is very expensive to extract teeth and get implants. When I added up the oral surgery, the implants, the dental work and the dental lab, it was about $5000 per tooth replaced. The extraction hurt a lot for a few weeks. I am glad I had this done. I had teeth abscess when I was a kid, so that is how I knew what was wrong. It would create a blister on the gums in front up so high that you don’t see it, so it is easy to miss. That was there too when I got the soft spot in the hard palate. It would have been better to replace it all instead of try to save the first failed tooth with an apicoectomy, but I couldn’t get my head around that thought and had been trying to save my teeth for years with replacing the bridgework.

I hope you will get a good recovery. My implants are Zeramex which are manufactured in Switzerland and are one of 2 manufacturers of zirconium implants that are the best available according to my oral surgeon. They have a website.
