Bad Implants Done In India

I had false teeth for a long time same story as you here often, cost of implants in Australia are so expensive but i heard in India or Thailand or several countries you can get good Implants at a reasonable price. I researched for a long period of time and my friend had some work done in Kerala so i researched the guy and he looked like the real deal, great website and testimonials i even called his people who gave testimonials which later i found out some are on a 10% commission but that’s another matter. First trip to India was as i expected hot not very clean place hotel arranged by surgeon was a dirty hole close to his office which i stayed 1 night (only as i had no other choice) After having a local anesthetic he proceeded to cut my gums and drilled and inserted 10 implants in my upper jaw, didn’t hurt much but was uncomfortable but to be expected. The next day same again but to the lower jaw and 7 posts were inserted in my lower jaw, all in all bearable considering the costs savings. Came back 5 months later spent 2 weeks in Cochin and had the teeth made and abutments fitted and in the end the teeth fitted. They looked not too bad certainly not great but natural sort of looking, after approx 2 years i was eating a sandwich and the whole bottom bridge came off in my mouth, I was shocked and wasn’t sure what to do i work in customer service had metal spikes for bottom teeth so i glued them which held temporarily 2 abutments had snapped and some of the posts were loose. Now i have 2 posts holding the bridge in place so i can eat but not well and can’t bend my head as the teeth will fall out. The dentist who did it says come back and i will fix them but first i went to a local Dr well credentialed a University lecturer on Implants. First he said worst bridge he has seen low of the low in quality my thoughts were i could use the posts in my jaw and just have Acrylic teeth made so he did an xray on my mouth and found 4 out of 6 Implants are broken and cannot be used. My top set are holding but are breaking off as they are too soft so now look terrible. Motto of the story if you cannot afford to have implants fitted by professionals locally then you should consider other options, i paid $28,000 including air fares etc and now i will have a huge expense to get these fixed in Australia… it really sucks bad but you do get what you pay for .. Hope this helps someone thinking about having Implants done particularly in Countries where you have no Legal Rights … OH to top it off the Implants are not Bio Care top Swiss brand they are copies 🙂
