I had a failing root canal with an abcess. After Dr. Podlesh pulled the tooth, he told me I am an excellent candidate for a dental implant. After he placed the implant, I had an infection and the gums started bleeding. Another dentist placed a crown, which wouldn't stay. The other dentist said my gums are not strong enough for an implant, and refunded the money I had paid for the crown. Dr. Podlesh was only afraid about a lawsuit from me, not at all concerned about the pain. I went to Valley Medical Hospital. The Neurologist said my trigeminal nerve is damaged. And the nerve won't heal unless the implant is taken out. I went to see 3 other Oral Surgeons right away. Dr. Podlesh told them there is nothing wrong with the implant, and the other Surgeons refused to take it out. Now, it has been awhile, and the bone around the implant has swelled up the gums are bleeding. Every Oral Surgeon I go to says the Surgeon who placed the implant should take it out. Other Oral Surgeons said the implant is to long, sitting on a nerve, and should be taken out. But they say it's to risky and the one who placed the implant should take it out. I am in so much pain, I once blacked out and got into a car accident. Dr. Podlesh did not even care about the pain from the beginning. If anyone can help me, please contact me.
