I'm panicking. This just popped out of my mouth. My dental implant placement was on 6/30. I hadn't had any issues and today this came out. Is this my dental implant ?
Answer: Did you dental implant fall out? Hi:Not to worry. The healing cap on top of the implant has come out. The implant is stil in the bone. Please go back to your dentist to have the healing cap put on the implant right away before the tissue closes up.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Healing abutment in hand! No worries my friend. What you have in your hand is the healing abutment for the implant. The actual implant is still where it should be. The part in your hand can simply be screwed back into the dental implant. With that being said, it is likely that the dentist will need to trim a tiny bit of gum tissue prior to replacing the abutment. Once the abutment falls out, which can sometimes happen, the gums tend to grow very fast into the abutment space. If this has already happened, a tiny bit of anesthetic and removal of a small amount of gum tissue will allow the abutment to be reseated back onto the dental implant.

Answer: Don't panic you didn't lose your dental implant Based on your picture, your dental implant did not fall out. This is screw that is placed into your implant while your implant is healing. Call your dentist and they will simply screw it back in. Good luck!

Answer: You're Good - It's Not Your Implant No doubt that was a shock! But there is no need to worry, it wasn't your implant that fell out, it's what we call a healing abutment. I suggest calling your dentist and have them place it back on your implant before your gum grows over it.
