CT scan was taken 5 min after the implants were seated. I dont feel any discomfort besides "bulkiness" on my lower jaw where the 3 implants were inserted.The bottom implants were throbbing for a while but it subsided in intensity. Is there anything that for a specialist seems off or I should double check with my surgeon?I'll be getting another implant in the upper jaw to match the one in the lower jaw. Bone-graft was just done and the surgeon recommends open sinus implant in 3 months. Thank you
