Just to be clear, when was the implant placed and how long after placement did you develop the tingling sensation? 

sounds like the snap in dentures are not fitting properly.  If you were my patient I would check your bite on the right and left side and make sure the contacts are balanced on both sides.  I would also check and possibly feline the underiside of the denture so that the there aren’t any spots that are rubbing to heavy on the gums.  

Mostv of my patients have zero to minimal downtime/ post operative discomfort. If you  are replacing Numerous teeth vs a single tooth you will have mild to moderate soreness and swelling.  Soreness which is well handled with Tylenol or Motrin.  

sometimes infections can occur around Implants new and older.  First and foremost the cause of the infection needs to be identified and addressed.  Sometimes lifting the gum around the implant will give the doctor a direct view of what is going on and it may be easier and more predictable to treat.  The experience of your provider is also of paramount importance.

Although most patients report little to no pain/ swelling after dental implant placement; Mild Pain and mild swelling can be normal after dental implant treatment.  Icing the area 20-30 minutes 4-5x/day and using a NSAID such as Motrin/ Ibuprofen as directed can really help a lot with pain and swelling.

Wish you a speedy recovery.
