Pain in dental implant site after 2 1/2 months. Is this part of the healing process?

Question

After about 10 weeks since the dental implant was placed (still no crown) I've started feeling high level of tenderness and pain upon contact with the surgical site. There was no pain/tenderness up to this point. Is this by any chance part of the healing process or is it more likely that my implant is failing? Or is it possible that it is an infection in question? In that case, can the implant be saved with a course of antibiotics?

It is not a normal thing to develop pain after two and a half months of implant placement. There are chances that you are developing a condition called periimplantitis (inflammation around the dental implant). Kindly get a checkup done from an expert implantologist.

Hello 
  
You should go to your doctor who did the implant to check it. Take a x-ray and vivificate why it’s hurting If you have an infection or the implant is failing.

Hello, 
I am sorry you are experiencing discomfort. Pain after 2.5 months is not normal. This is usually an indication of  infection. Please see your dental surgeon as soon as possible. Once proper diagnostic images and a clinical evaluation is completed then proper diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning can follow.
