Experiencing pain near my 6 year old Dental Implant. Antibiotics helped temporarily, what is causing this?

mjbkdg72
I have a dental implant on my top left side. It was done about 6 years ago. Recently, I started having a dull, ache pain in that area. After a few days, it became unbearable. Went to my dentist, after X-rays and exam showed nothing he put me on antibiotics. Pain did go away after 2 days. # weeks after finishing antibiotic, pain is back. I'm at a loss as what to do or where to go. Any suggestions?
