Chin implant misplaced causing teeth root/nerve pain, can I have revision or just removal?

December 30, 2023
Asked By:Fierce577450 in Kansas

I had a chin implant done 4 years ago. Lately I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my chin and teeth area. Based on CT, this is likely a result of the chin implant placed too high up, now touching some nerves or teeth roots. Is it safe to have a chin implant revision to place an implant at the right place? or do I have to remove it completely to let the area heal? I would like to still have an implant but I am in pain, not sure if I can have a revision or just a removal.
