Can I have new crowns removed from implants?

January 28, 2024
Asked By:jasmineH in Los Angeles, California

How can I tell the dentist I prefer to not have the crowns? I prefer the abutments and it’s making me so sad to see my puffed out jaw now having crowns placed on implants in back of mouth.. I have been devastated since they were placed and I have jaw pain. I don’t see any way they’d agree having already made several adjustments though. If I ask a different dentist would they be able to remove without causing damage to the implant?

Diego Pulido, DDS says:

Examining your x-ray, whether there is reasonable bone loss that compromises the teeth. The option of removable dentures is not the best, my recommendation is to opt for a denture treatment supported by implants (ALL on X), with which you can eat comfortably with high aesthetics. Greetings!

Kerem Turgut Atasoy, DDS, PhD says:

Hello, it is possible to overcome this process more easily with temporary mock-up prostheses that allow you to test in the mouth how your teeth will look and feel when they are made and to ensure your adaptation. Therefore, we can say that it is not an unsolvable situation.
