Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 i am about to have the screws to my left of my nose removed. they are interfering with a dental implant that was installed in that area (the implant failed, that comes out tomorrow. it never stops for me!) beyond that my surgeon told me they could stay there if they posed no problems. i'm not sure of the cost yet, i was a teenager when i had the surgery and as of now my insurance doesn't want to cover anything. kelli > > Hello everyone, > > I saw the insurance company's Explanation of Benefits for upper > surgery.
