Can a Chin Implant Be Problematic if I Have a Tooth Implant Already?

February 5, 2011
Asked By:Zoe66 in Manhattan, NY

I am very seriously considering a chin implant, but I am concerned about possible pain or future problems because I have a tooth implant in my lower right jaw. This tooth implant was a mistake that I was convinced to put in by a dentist many years ago. It has caused intermittant pain and problems for me over the years which is another reason i'm hesitant about proceeding w/the chin implant now. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
