I need some advice. Prior to my dental implant surgery, my dentist told me I was a good candidate. However, when my surgery was completed he told me that when he went in to place the implant he noticed there wasn’t enough bone structure. Yet, for some reason, he placed the implant anyway. Now he’s […]
