questions

‣
why are there risks associated with doing upper implants?

‣
why are the benefits i believe come with upper implants this trip, like increased total speed of achieving a successful smile and better certainty of being able to complete all the future surgeries, not enough to consider what can be done to attempt implants?
‣
what is the expected completion date?
‣
what is the work that has been completed?
‣
what is the work that remains?
‣
where are the best sources for information on soft diets?
  • breakfast: eggs every-other-day, black beans, oat meal
  • lunch: black beans, rice
  • dinner: pastas
  • put stuff in blender
‣
what is any patient most likely to screw up in their recovery?
‣
why am i required to have three trips?
‣
what, if anything, are the options for reducing time to a smile i can be proud of?
‣
what are the expected dates for travel, best for your schedule?
‣
what is the updated breakdown of dental costs according to the new plan of three trips?
‣
what, if anything, can i provide to make the work happen successfully?
‣
where are there opportunities to improve facial profile?
