I am not happy with an implant. The area where the implant was placed is dark, since it is my front tooth it is noticeable.

Asked By:PinkWidow143 in Orange County, CA

I had a dental implant done where I am not happy with it. The area where the implant was placed is dark, almost gray, and it is my front tooth (#9) so it is very noticable. I am not happy with it, and of course this was a very long and expensive procedure. The doctor that placed the implant assures me that this isn't the implant showing through, but, what else could it be? What are my options?

Harley Richards, DDS says:

Clearchoice follows the all-on-4 method, which is a great method for placing a full set of dental implants. At New Teeth Now, however, we do things a bit differently. I'll explain the difference. We use the all-on-4 technique as well, but place about 6 on the upper and 4 on the lower for more...

I have developed horrific headaches after installation of a dental implant? Dentist will not remove it.
Ryan M Clancy, DMD, MAGD, LVIF says:

Although it is impossible to say for sure what is causing your headaches without examining you in person, there is a small chance that you may have developed TMJ due to a change in your bite after having the implant placed. I recommend visiting a neuromuscular dentist to have your jaw examined...
