Went to Cancun to a very reputable dental specialist to have 4 baby teeth replaced with implants. I was expecting to have my gums stitched closed, but instead, gum holes were filled with glue. After initial surgery, I had a huge gooey glob on the bottom right that pulled out in the night. Went back for follow up next day and they just refilled it with glue which was a much firmer consistrncy the second time. Upper left pulled away in 3 days but i was able to push it back in place. Is this norm?

Answer: Dental implants have many aspects to treatment
This is a very interesting question. If enough bone is available to move the tooth forward, then that would be a nice option. It could be a difficult movement; so make sure the dentist has plenty of experience. The natural tooth would be better than an implant in the long term though an implant...
I agree with that, you do need a temporary crown to shape the gum; in the front area what goes wrong is the the pink part (gum). You don’t want a successful implant to have a crown on top that looks different than the other teeth especially with the shape and contour of the gum around it.
