I was explained the procedure and would like to know if it sounds right. A missing tooth area will get a bone graft and implant placed and stitched up. The neighboring tooth would be extracted, bone graft and implant placed and it wouldnt be stitched. Can I know why the extracted area with an implant and bone graft wouldnt be stitched? Just worried that it would get infected, inspite being on antibiotics. Thank you.
I had fixed 12 dental implants and 2 implants my doctor add bone graft as well. But have been 19 days and still I have stitches. Is there any serious issue or is it normal. Please reply Im worried about my dental implants.
I had a dental implant a month ago, my stitches came out in couple of days. Now the gum looks like it cant get attached to each other because there is this little bump in between. Ive attached photos for clarity. Should I be worried? Thank you in advance.
I had an implant done with some bone grafting. Been taking my antibiotics and doing mouthwash everyday but I don't like the way this looks. I don't have any pain either, just want to make sure I'm healing properly.
I got an implant and bone graft on my left canine tooth area 12 days ago. My stitches are not absorbable. If I get my stitches removed on day 14, will I be able to eat normally/ drink alcohol within 24 hours? Or would that area still have to heal? I have a big event coming up and I want to know if it would be better to leave the stitches in (and eat and drink) or take them out (and eat and drink).
its been 5 days Im so scared of a dry socket. Does it look normal?I dont smoke havent drank any carbonated drinks or alcoholic. It does hurt a little not bad. The stiches seem to be coming out. The string is now going over the top of the wound. I can taste it with the side of my tongue taste like a cut in my mouth it did not have that taste before but the stiches werent up before either. There is now a few little areas near the socket that are pink like fresh flesh. Is this normal?
I had tooth #17 extracted 10 days ago. My stitches dissolved on day 6. Today I noticed my gums have not healed back together yet and I have an open trench in my gums from where they were cut. I can look down into the socket. I do not have any pain or a fever. Does the site appear to be normal?
