of concentration, ear pain and numbness, difficulties breathing) and interfered with my everyday life and activities. It was a painful struggle. While researching options for implant removal, I spoke with a lot of dentists with different specialties, including oral surgeons. The answers I received ranged from total refusal to remove it because of the severe damages this procedure would cause to my jaw bone and my overall health; to a total denial that the symptoms had anything to do with the implant at all. Those who still offered an option for removing it, suggested they do it by trephining it out of the bone – a terrifying procedure witch causes severe bone loss and, a high possibility for further damage and, above all, the great risk of breaking the integrity of the implant and leaving behind tiny titanium particles that blend into the bone tissue and thus remain forever part of the body system. Needless to say, this causes persistent and irreversible continuity of the symptoms, combined with a total impossibility for removing the leftovers of titanium particles in the bone matter.

After all that hell, I was beyond lucky to find Dr. Shumantov.
He is among the very few dentists in the world equipped, qualified and highly experienced to safely remove titanium dental implants. He removed my implant literally within a few minutes; the procedure went very smoothly, he managed to keep the bone totally intact; there wasn’t even a need of bone grafting. And I was surprised to find how all my symptoms magically disappeared almost right away!

Thank you one more time, Dr. Shumantov!

antov only improved my ability to recommend his practice. He was very professional, excellent equipment, kind manners, clear and intelligent communication, and at every step of the way I had confidence in his surgical skills. After four years my treatment is still in perfect condition and expected to last indefinitely. I have recommended Dr. Shumantov to the group of environmental physicians I work with for their referral needs.
