What could be causing tightness in my gums after a bone graft?

Question

I had a bone graft done 3 1/2 weeks ago on my front tooth *9. I feel tightness around my gum. I can't smile comfortably. In addition to grafting I had my dental implant removed due to poor positioning all at the same time. What might be the reason my gum feeling tight?

It is good that you tell your dentist that  did the bone regeneration on the discomfort that you are feeling in the area where the implant was removed.  I think that by taking a periapical radiograph the doctor could rule out a possibility of infection.
