Had implant before several years ago with Feldman and it was fine this time NO!
There was a large incision past the implant that went to my soft palate. I wasn't told there would be such a large cut, so when I started having extreme pain like an ice pick was sticking in my ear I had no idea why. Nothing was offered except 600 ibuprofen every four hours and ice neither was enough. I don't take drugs, but was very happy my husband had some hydrocodone left from a shoulder surgery. i couldn't open my mouth to see all the stiches that went back to my pallet for several days when I saw it I was really mad!! no wonder there was an ice pick in my ear!!. When Feldman called the next night on a friday at 9 pm i said how painful it was still he said oh that is your ""Jaw, I thought he meant it was because my jaw had been extended open for a long time. I told him about the amount of swelling and a lump that had formed in my mid jaw, his response was"what do you want a "weekend appointment"? (it was Memorial weekend.)
I said "no, no I don't" i was very put off by his remark. He said well keep using your ice and call the office on Tuesday and I will see you on Weds or Thurs..
I changed my antibiotic myself since I felt the Amoxicillin was not helping and the swelling got better in two days..It took a good two weeks before i started feeling better. Needless to say I never went back and will NEVER GO BACK!!! Thankfully my dentist helped me through and will do the follow ups. read more
