Could I fracture my implant from trauma?

July 4, 2014
Asked By:curlytops1 in Queens Village, NY

I have tooth #8 implant done 1 yr and 4 months ago. It is very stable and i dont have any problems with it. Few days ago, i was hanging up my pants with a belt when the metal buckle swung and hit my implant tooth! It didnt hurt or bleed but the next morning I saw some blood in between implant tooth and #7. Right now i am having very mild discomfort. Do u think I could have fractured my implant? It doesnt wiggle right now nor it shifted.
