I had extraction and immediate implant in bottom right molar 5 weeks ago. 2 days later got severe constant throbbing in socket. Finally subsided after 3 weeks and 3 courses of antibiotics. Dentist baffled as to cause as everything looked good on exam, xray and CT. Things seemed ok for a week then 4 days ago I developed a lump on gum over the implant. Saw dentist 2 days ago and he said it was normal tissue healing. Due for crown fitting in 1 month. Does this look normal? It's mildly tender only.
I have had it for well over a year and have had no pain until now. It is slightly tender. I am petrified to go back to the dentist. I had a hip replacement 9 months ago and need another for the other hip. Also, I need premed now for any dental work.
Lump under jaw developed a month after dental implant? Does it take awhile to go away after antibiotics? I developed a painful lump under my jaw a month after getting implants. They prescribed me antibiotics and I took them all as directed, but the lump still hurts. I asked the oral surgeon if I could be rejecting the implant, but he said we won't know till we put the abutment in, which is a few months away. Does it sometimes take awhile after infection for a swollen lump to go away?
I have had implants about 6 months ago, about 5 months during covered healing, the one on the front right side throbs. There is also a bump on the roof of my mouth close to this implant that had appeared after the implant and remained since then. My dentist then exposed this implant but the bump had gotten bigger. Will this bump go away on its own when my gums heal?
I had sinus lift with bone graft. Two implants were placed at the same time - one on 25 (which didn't need bone graft) and 26. After the surgery my face was very swollen and severely bruised. One month later there is a hard lump above tooth 25 next to my nose which is changing the shape of my face and alters my smile. There is no pain and my nasal passages seem clear. Is this normal and will this lump go down? The dentist said he had to place extra bone than originally planned. Could this be the cause?
