Dental implants causing tongue pain

No! the pain in his tongue could be caused by the mistreatment at the time of placing the implant. It is also good to know what techniques or technology your doctor uses when placing the implant. If the pain persists, I recommend you visit your doctor.

Many times tongue tenderness can occur when the healing caps that cover the openings of the implants extend through the gum tissue causing discomfort. Once the crowns are placed on the dental implants, this should subside. However, if the crowns are already on the dental implants, I would suggest seeing your provider to follow up and asses the thickness of the crowns.

Hello and thank you for your question. Keep in mind, it can take some time to get used to your implants and there may be some tenderness in surrounding areas. I recommend following up with your Dentist about your concerns or consult with a Prosthodontist. A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental implants.
