• Incorrect spacing on implants. Never told they removed one out of three. Gave me a faulty bridge, now I have no teeth!

  Asked in Roanoke, VA | May 12, 2026

  Charged my insurance for crowns that I never received. Charged for teeth cleaning that I never received. Charged for the implant that was taken out. Have had a couple of second opinions to confirm there wasn't enough space. Missing work due to appointments with other dental professionals and having to pay for their services in hopes of this getting fixed. It has caused humiliation because the bridge fell out several times before it fell out, and it was unable to find it. I now have a lisp and look terrible. I'm disfigured looking now and can't eat normal things. Has cost over 22000, and it's still costing me money. And I have to keep my face covered because I was a guinea pig. Can I sue?
