No implants when your cells are already damaged. I've got ALS symptoms with harder to swallow, shrinking tongue, twitches all over, collapsed upper lip with muscle tone loss. Smaller muscles. It all sucks so much. Take my advice no dental implants or surgery when you have lyme. My problems started after they put screws and titaniums plates in my jaw to fix my jaw.

Woww you had the same exsperience as me.I wanted to put the implants ZIRCONIA not even titanium and I have had a failure in the surgery for bone crafting.
NO Implants I would say too when you have even just bartonella ( even worst if you have Lyme and other TBS) .
I ended up with pain that started on my face the moment of the bone crafting job done and the neck tightnees the moment I finishes.In two weeks ended up removing and put stitches back due to the inflamation and no healing.
Trust me I know , I thought going for Zirconia is better while had cleaned the cavitations / all root canals 4 years ago...BIG MISTAKE to go for implants even if they are not metals.
I ended up worst than I was before.

Yes they are taking out the titanium now, after four and half years of suffering. Then maybe after that I can start healing and get rid of the infections. They have had a jolly good time for four years while I ve had no immunedefence because of the titanium.

Titanium is not good for anyone, according to my lyme doctor. He tests things energetically, and he said no one tests for titanium. It's a forbidden material for anyone, according to him.
If my memory is good, dr. K. agrees with that.
According to most dentists, titanium is the best material!
Opt for a removable partial! It's much less invasive!
When you heal from lyme you can think of another solution!
