I got lucky, 5 implants top and bottom, no bone grafting. My much younger sister was not so lucky. Apparently my gums are made of leather, he wore out 3 knives cutting me up. Because of all the trouble I had with the bottom they were not able to get them fully in before I said fuck this I am out of here. Went back the next day and a bunch of peeps from the lab that made them were there. They felt really bad, their system had some issues during the process. They put these clamps on the studs to index everything to line up the holes in the dentures exactly. The pins got stuck so it took forever to get them out which is when I lost it and left.
They had to basically cut the back section of my bottoms off, so I am missing like one tooth on each side on the bottom because of the swelling. Lab is making me top of the line permanent ones that are like 60 grand, for free.
I felt so bad I brought flowers for all the girls that were in there trying to keep me calm. Shit they were crying during the procedure, it was a bad scene man.
Nobodys fault really, it just went sideways there for a bit. I also learned that if you take enough Valium it actually has the opposite effect, it makes you freak out. No one knows what the limit is until they hit it. Mine is 4.
