Tooth #8 extraction and implant occurred on the same day (7/6/2016). Healing seemed to be going okay, but when I followed up with my surgeon on 10/24/16 he said that bone growth was immature. He suggested that I wait another 3 months before uncovering and take a daily vitamin D supplement. Is this normal. I used to smoke weed, but I have since stopped. Is my implant in early failure? There is currently no swelling, puss or redness. I didn't have this issue with an implant on tooth #9 4 years ago
