When I was on active duty I used the VA dental clinic. One of the procedures was the removal of a tooth and the placement of the "screw" for an implant. When it was time to fit the prosthetic tooth, it was discovered that the "screw" was placed at an angle and was not properly lined up. At this time I had retired and this was considered work in progress. aproximately a year later the "screw" was removed and the hole was filled with a bone graft. Aproximately six months later the surgeon was prepared to place another "screw" in the same site and complete the procedure. When I returned for the procedure I was told "I was not entitled to anything and I should just move on". I complained in writing to the patients advocates office and the hospital director. I also sent an email to the VA IG's office. I received a canned letter from the directors office after I filed a congressional(which is still pending). I have run out of options as how to address this, any suggestions?
