Do you know if Bone Grafts are done to improve the chances. Im no expert but Im pretty sure I will require a Bone Graft. Are you by chance in the Birmingham VAMC system , I see your location is Troy MI. One thing I have learned is that not all VAMC's are created equal in the Implant biz. . I do appreciate your input . :-) Have a great Weekend ! John

I'm SC but not for Dental. I had an Upper Bridge all work done by civilians in 1989. Auto accident covered by Insurance. This lasted until 2014 at which time they began to loosen and fall out. I had them reinstalled by local Dentist until finally my teeth had to come out from all the stress and drilling repair. I cannot afford the cost of Implants and I'm asking if anyone has experience with Birmingham VAMC as far as Implants go ? My Primary Care Doc has said he should be able to get me in the Clinic for Implants, however, the final decision would of course , be theirs. FYI , I'm 100% S/C for L/Hip fracture, Both knees broken , Broken Rt/Femur with leg shortening , and broken bones on top of left Foot. Opinions, advice ? Thanks for your time John

It seems when I log on to the (myhealthevet.va.gov) website more than 2 times in one day I get this message accross the top: ( MHV is unable to process your request for BIRMINGHAM VAMC. The maximum number of attempts was exceeded. Please try again after midnight (CST) to refill prescriptions obtained from that facility. If you are in urgent need of your prescription refill, please contact the issuing pharmacy on your prescription label. Your refill request for BIRMINGHAM VAMC has been submitted. ). Like many Vets , I have many prescriptions and I sometimes need to go back more than once in a single day. Is this a bandwidth thing or what ? Its not the end of the world, I just have to wait till after midnight ,(for me , the next day) and its back to normal. It can be annoying if you're in a hurry . Thanks, John
