What US state?
What did the dentist do wrong? What did s/he do to correct it?

Idaho. The dentist put the implant in and did not discuss long term complications and post op extant was not taken.It was causing me severe pain and throbbing. He terminated the relationship.

For all of this to happen in a span of two weeks leads me to believe that there's more to the story...

I am still having pain and tingling. He does not want to see me anymore.

Have you seen another dentist? That is what I recommend you do first. Then you can get a better idea if your previous dentist did something wrong.

I don't know why your current dentist no longer wants to see you but a dentist can choose whether to see a patient or not.

Gone to see another dentist. He said I should be reimbursed and that implants usually have guarantees.

Did your insurance cover the implant?
