Melia, I had many implants done when younger and they worked very well. Two years ago I tried to have implants done again and the dentist told me that I had to have bone implants first, which I did, with atrocious pain! When it healed after a few months , lots of money and more pain, the dentist told me that there was still not enough bone to put the implants, and I would have to have a second bone implant! I just then rushed out of his office with the plan to never see him ever again. A lot of other dentists proposed the same thing but I refused. I know it is harder to eat with less teeth but I could not go thru that suffering again. Plus when the opioids were still legal it was easier to take the horrible pain. Now forget it for me even if I had it offered for free.

I found this information on a endodontist Laboratory Risk Assessment for Patients taking oral bisphosphonates

CTX Value Risk for ONJ
300 to 600 pg/ml (normal) none
150 to 299 pg/ml none to minimal
101 to 149 pg/ml moderate
Less than 100 pg/ml high
They do a CTX valuation.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I thought that it bone implants that I need as well are complicated, but never imagine that it is also painful.
