My new dental implant has been hurting ever since it was put in. Today the implant fell out of my mouth, and I’m noticing that it is not straight. It is on quite an angle. Is it abnormal to install implants on an angle? Might that be why it was hurting? I had implants before and I had no problem. Also, I only went in three times this time. I have gone in 12 times. I went with a different dentist this time since I moved. Any help be appreciated, thanks
