New Implant Pre-crown is Falling Out

Got some awesome news today (enter sarcasm). Apparently the canine next to my brand new implant pre-crown is now “falling out”, so I get to place another one and start the whole thing again! But not to worry..it’s only 12k this year vs the 6 I planned for. I’m so done with getting old. 🤬

  1. I just had 3 broken teeth removed and asked the oral surgeon to place bone grafting in preparation for implants. He did that for thousands of dollars without informing me that I’ll pretty much be starting over when he places the implant posts? I’ll be a year with teeth missing in front. Now one of my front teeth (adjacent to the extracted broken teeth)has become loose and the Oral Surgeon told me to “see your general dentist ASAP”. Naturally I have to wait 4 days for an appointment. IT will probably be too late to save the loose front tooth by then.

    1. Nancy K. I’m so sorry. I was without 2 fronts for the better part of a year and it was definitely trying. Now it will be a 2-tooth gap on the side. Biggest advice is to get the posts and crowns in the moment you’re eligible. The flipper caused problems with my other teeth. Maybe go to your regular medical doc and see if it’s possibly infected that makes it feel loose to get antibiotics? Salt water too. I was born with this one in the roof of my mouth and then had decades of orthodontics that just weakened the bone to practically nothing, topped off with a bad car accident with a punch to the face with the air bag (and I had gum grafts twice there before I was 10!). It’s caused problems and pain my entire life and I’ve always felt it wouldn’t last, but it’s still not easy. I feel for you 💗

      1. Carin G. I’m so sorry to hear this. I hope you get everything fixed so you do t have to continue going through this. I feel so bad for you. 🥲

    1. Lisa N. I’ve never considered this before, but happened to me too! I have 2 implants next to each other now.

      1. Cristi F. yes I have 3 each upper side and I can feel the natural tooth next to my last implant getting weak

  2. This is what worries me. 23,000 for upper all on 5, (that may fail), 2000 for upper dentures. Very confused and don’t know which Way to go..

    1. Glen, My dad was same age as you when he got dentures. He never could get used to them and said they hurt his mouth, but he never gave them a chance to work. He decided to get implants. The surgeon advised against it, but he wanted the implants and snap in teeth. He got them, but the trauma to his mouth caused Oromandibular Dystonia. Now he has this neurological muscle movement disorder and his mouth will not close. Please research Dystonia before you have the implants. Dystonia is so painful that my dad barely gets out of bed anymore. He is 70 years old now. Please be careful. We had no idea this could happen!!

        1. Glen S. no it is not. I just like for people to know. I wish you much success with whatever you choose.

      1. Tonya P. sounds like his implants were not placed properly. There are lots of people with snap ins and all on 4 with no issues.

        1. Carrie P. you are correct. This is part of informed consent. People must know this is a possibility.

    2. Glen S. failure is not that common as I understand. This was a natural tooth but was a problem since I was a kid and finally met it’s match. I’d go with the implants but it’s not fun no matter what.

    3. Glen S. I had no choice but to go with dentures. They are just fine I can chew anything at least I can eat!! Only on the top btw!!

  3. Dental work has been a lifelong struggle for me and sooo costly. That’s why I’m having them all removed and getting dents implants.

    1. Nancy P. I asked mine about that as difficult as it would be but they said that was a hard no. All my bottoms are ok and the right side top is fine, but I’m just waiting….

  4. If you ever need to direct your children into a high earning profession. DENTAL SCHOOL. They are thieves. It’s so disappointing and so wrong on so many levels. The amount of people’s whose lives who be changed if they had access to dental care. I don’t get that about our society. The whole capitalist health industry. Sorry for the poor grammar

    1. Jennifer C. seriously. My son is studying to be a neurologist, but I keep telling him oral surgery. Free dental for me then!

Our Story

Dental Country was born out of a simple yet profound idea: to bridge the gap between dental professionals and the public by providing an all-encompassing platform for dental knowledge. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Sean Myran, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dental Country started as a response to the growing need for a reliable and comprehensive online resource where both dental professionals and everyday people could find trustworthy, accurate, and well-researched information about dentistry and oral health.

Dr. Myran had witnessed first-hand the complexities faced by dental professionals, from managing successful practices to staying up-to-date with the latest dental technology and products. At the same time, he noticed how challenging it was for patients to find accurate, digestible information about dental procedures, oral hygiene products, and how to choose the right dentist. This dual perspective inspired him to create Dental Country, an online space that could cater to both audiences.

What started as a small blog quickly grew into a multifaceted platform with a wide range of dental resources—from practice management tips to in-depth product reviews and educational articles on oral health. Over the years, Dental Country has expanded its offerings to meet the evolving needs of dental professionals and patients alike. Today, it is one of the most trusted names in dental content, recognized for its dedication to quality, transparency, and accessibility.
