I had a dental implant done for a missing tooth on the lower left side, third tooth in from the back. At the time, my gum was not as severely recessed. Now my gum is extremely receding and quickly. The dentist who performed the implant said my implant isn't rejecting, but I got a second opinion and the other dentist said it's possible that is what is occurring. Is a bone graft possible to help my gum stop caving in? The implant itself seems ok but the gum is very painful.
I had two (side by side), extractions done, with socket preservation. I believe thats done so that Im able to get an implant down the road. I had this done before. Just (one) tooth above and was healed within a wk. My gums feel like a toddler teething two weeks later and Im absolutely miserable
I had a bone graft done 3 1/2 weeks ago on my front tooth *9. I feel tightness around my gum. I can't smile comfortably. In addition to grafting I had my dental implant removed due to poor positioning all at the same time. What might be the reason my gum feeling tight?
2 moths ago I had #15 extracted. is was a root-canalled tooth with a large infection and a cyst on a root. The cadaver bone graft was done right after the tooth was out. I am starting to feel a fullness in that area and the gums are a brighter pink (but not swollen). Oddly enough, I've been waking up with my RIGHT eye swollen and the lid filled with fluid. Wondering if I should be taking the time to get this looked into or this is normal while the bone is healing. Thank you for any thoughts.
I had my 2 roots surgically removed 2 weeks ago and bone graft in preparation for implants, the stitches were then removed 4 days ago and my gums look open. One of them has a soft white thing protruding out and the other just looks open to the elements so not sure if this is normal. Does this look normal? Please see photo.
I just got bone grafting for future implant 6 days ago. However I think I can see bone and that the gum has has been lost. I'm getting really worried if then I want be able to place the provisional tooth and that the bone grafting is failing
Two weeks ago I had one of my molar teeth extracted along with a bone graft in preparation for an implant. I developed a dry socket and that seems to have cleared up. I am still in quite a bit of pain, my gums, my jaw and what feels like my cheek. I take Advil a couple times a day for relief. I went in yesterday and was told all looks good, however it is healing pretty slow. Should I still be in this much pain and be uncomfortable?
