What causes sinus pressure, swelling jaw, tingling, and a headache after a crown was placed over a bone graft implant?

Question

Crown was removed and i still have problems. Is this a failed implant or is the implant gone too far up towards my sinus, my doctor also did sinus up lifting.  i am thinking about removing the implant.is it simple to remove implant ? Any complications after removal?

Calvin Jung, MD · Answer

This is a not a question that can be answered without formal imaging of the area and an evaluation. There are many possibilities but the best thing to do is go back to your provider and have a CBCT of the area and evaluation the probably causes of your issue. Implants can be removed atraumatically but prior to removing everything you should make sure that is the root cause of the issue!
