Dentist Scammed Me Into Getting 4 Front Teeth Removed

Location: Rhode Island

I asked my dentist about closing gaps in my front teeth, he recommended I get the four front teeth removed due to my teeth protruding out, he briefly showed me a couple of different options, I said I definitely do not want any kind of bridge , I said I would only get my 4 front teeth removed if I could have them replaced with 4 individual tooth implants, he said I’d have to see a surgeon to see if I was a candidate for this to be done. He then tells me he knows the surgeon and he will write him an email an explain to him what I want done, a couple days later I received a phone call from the surgeons office fr an appointment.

Long story short, I asked him if I was a candidate and he said yes, I had the surgery which included a bone graft, and 4 front teeth removed.

After surgery I realized I had only 2 implants,

I was so confused, I asked the surgeon why I only had 2 implants instead of 4 ? He said we don’t have to do that anymore, we do 2 on 1?

I was confused but I trusted he must know what he’s talking about, when I went to my dentist to get the final teeth made , I mentioned to my dentist I was surprised about the 2 on one instead of 4, he just never answered me.

When I went to get my final teeth to my absolute horror it was a 1 piece bridge that screwed in my jaw!!!!!

I asked him what the hell happened, he said remember we talked about expense?? I said What are talking about, I said I wanted individual tooth implants, he just didn’t answer me, walked away an went to his next patient. I honestly wanted to choke him,

I made an appointment to see the surgeon to find out what happened , the dentist actually wrote to him that my 4 front teeth needed to be removed do to severe periodontal disease, and that I wanted a fixed bridge and he explained all the risk to me etc etc!! Complete BS!!!

I told the surgeon the dentist lied completely, he was supposed to see if I was a candidate for the implants I wanted, if I wasn’t a candidate for this then I would NEVER have had my 4 front teeth removed, it was for cosmetic purposes only, the surgeon said he would never put 4 implants in a row in the top front due to black triangles?? So basically I was never a candidate for this, my dentist tricked me into getting my teeth pulled put, and completely lied when he wrote the surgeon , or are they both involved?

I spent just about $17,000 , the dentist got the lions share $11,500, I paid cash for this.

I am shocked this could happen!!

There is nothing I can do to get my 4 front teeth back, I can’t believe the nerve of this dentist to do this to me and think I will just live with it!!!

The Dentist needs to get in trouble for this, I think it’s Outrageous, the Nerve of him, I’m wicked upset about this. What can I do about this ?

I got this done right before Christmas.
