Why do I have pain and pressure to the adjacent teeth of my new crown/implant?

Question

I had a crown placed into implant to the very last tooth, bottom left. Dentist was unable to get screw to thread and had to get the perio. He used twice the force to thread it. Then she tried to tighten it and said it kept “spinning” and had to get the perio again. Three days later i have pain and pressure to the teeth preceding it. I can’t chew on that side now. All those teeth hurt to floss, breaks at crown bc too tight. Kills on 4th from back, a lot of pressure and pain. Avid flosser.

It sounds to me that the contact between the crown and your natural teeth is tooth tight resulting in pressure on the ligament and thus pain. This can be alleviated by removing the crown and adjusting it until its comfortable. The issue with the screw may be related but its hard to tell based on the description.

Hi:It’s best to go back to your dentist to evaluate the pressure on the adjacent teeth.  Contact points between crowns or teeth can be adjusted easily to relief the pressure.Best,Dr. Maddahi
