It's official. I have a screw loose.
I woke up at 5 this morning to feel something metallic in my mouth. It was: one of the 'healing cap' screws from an implant.
Fortunately, I didn't swallow convulsively.
As I say: everything that could go wrong with this implant process, has. I am really expecting that at some point they'll say Um, Bill, that implant, it's been in there so long, we need to put in a new one. At which point I'll say Screw it. Give me dentures.

Oh no! That's a big bummer. :(
Definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth. No pun intended.
You're screwed... :-) (Sorry!)
Actually, UNscrewed.....
Dentures are forever man....
Never heard of so many problems. My implant just started to work out sideways one day. I think the way some piercings work their way out. I had a stern talking to it and it went back to position. (Actually, I started really using it....it reseated itself.)
Its that cadaver bone though...still creepy after all these years. I suspect my implant was trying to go zombie on me.
I think that if I had had just one or two implants done, this would all have been fine. That I had my whole jaw done is what screwed me.
