Case Description
I have a front tooth implant that dropped out today. The procedure was done in mid 1999 or 2000. What should I do? Will this require an entirely new procedure or can this be repaired? Like many others I am on a fixed income and have no medical insurance.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Sorry for the problem, but it cannot be fixed and needs a new procedure. I supose it was failing for some time. Medical or dental insurance would not have covered it anyway.
