Feeling my dental implant screw?

May 20, 2015
Asked By:Lrl000 in Saint Paul, MN

I recently have gotten a dental implant after the previous failure back in January. I am 23 and was born without the permanent tooth. I am missing #7. I got the second implant 2 weeks ago and now that the swelling has gone down I am worried. If I run my tongue or finger across my gums I feel the screw I am assuming? I asked my doc and he said its my nose bone turning up. It wasn't there before the implant so I can only assume it's the screw. Will if fail again because of this?
