I also curious about the outcome. My prosthodontist keeps wanting to get me implants.
Is your insurance company paying for this, especially the hyperbaric treatments? After I had the 16 teeth pulled prior to radiation which mine did pay for as a 'medical necessity', mine refused to pay for the replacment partials and would not pay for hyperbaric treatments to get implants or implants.
