Why is my gum bleeding 48 hours after the inception of 2 implants? (Photo)

You need to go back to the surgeon to evaluate the bleeding. Are you taking any medications that can decrease clotting? You should not be bleeding 2 days after the surgery

I have two temporary crowns waiting for root canals but am in a great deal of pain. Should I be concerned?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

You should not need to be in pain for two weeks. If the endodontist cannot see you for two weeks, ask if the dentist can do a pulpotomy. Or find another endodontist

Is a dental bridge or crown more effective or can tooth be saved? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

An implant is usually the treatment of choice , but a 3 unit bridge is a fine options and more cost effective if a crown is needed on one of the teeth anyway. With that said , in my own mouth I would chose the implant.

I have existing lower denture. Any suggestions?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

Typically the implants will be placed and you will continue to wear your denture as is until implants are healed and integrated with the bone. Then the implant will be attached to the implants for support. Usually 3 months after implant placement
