Oh jeez, I am so sorry all of this is happening to you. I struggled through the implant process starting about 20 years ago now and also hated it. Hopefully the technology has improved.
Bizarrely, despite American healthcare payment structure being objectively worse than basically everywhere else, my dental insurance covered it because (??) the missing tooth was congenital. And once my oral surgeon either messed it up or my jaw did (as a healthy 19y woman I kinda doubt it was the latter), all the reoperations were gratis. Though eventually, after a few bone grafts and continued failures, I fired that guy and went to a second one--and was finished in one go. So I'm pretty sure it was the first guy's fault. I've never heard of anyone else having the same troubles.
Anyway--the good news is I've had the thing in now for 18 years and had no problems and even though my fake tooth is def a different color than my other teeth I don't care. I hope your process is swifter and easier but gets to the same result.
