I recently had an implant, abutment, and crown fitted where I used to have tooth #19. There is no pain. However, food gets trapped in between 19 and the other teeth. This was not a problem with my natural tooth. I went back to the dentist and he said that the crown had good contact with the other teeth and would be more concerned if there was a gap at the top of the crown. He said because the implant is not like natural roots, it will not cover the entire gum area. Truth?
