How long does nerve damage from a dental implant take to heal?

April 9, 2016
Asked By:sspksn in Gilbert, AZ

I had 2 implants removed 3 weeks after placement because of nerve damage. It has now been 10 month and I still do not have full feeling in my chin, jawline and half of my lip. I'm not sure what I can do. I have tingling and burning in a very small part but it isn't healing. Can nerve damage start to get better and then revert?
