I had a #19 implant on November 8th but after 2 days I contacted my surgeon about the numbness and he asked me to take a panorama, he removed the implant and inserted a shorter one on November 10th and he told me the healing process is going to be slow but I should notice the progression of the healing every 4-5 days.
