Is it normal to have some discomfort on your gums after getting permanent crowns placed on your dental implants?

Question

Valentina Lyssova, DDS · Answer

Dear lucypooh, How long have you been
experiencing that discomfort? Do your gums around these implants bleed? Some
discomfort might be present after implant crown insertion if the crowns are
wider than your gums and putting pressure on them That discomfort should
dissipate within 24-48 hours after insertion. Contact your dentist to verify
the root of the issue.

David M. Schertzer, DDS · Answer

If the healing cap that was in place to form a wider pocket above the implant (emergence profile) is smaller than the abutment and/or crown diameter then there can be some temporary discomfort.  The other concern is if the sore tissue continues more than a few days that there may be cement that was not removed.  If discomfort continues more than a few days return to the restoring dentist for evaluation.
