@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.
