Hi:This is rare but possible that an implant under the gum with bone graft needs to be exposed by removing some bone.  Best,Dr. Maddahi

Vitamin C promotes collagen synthesis, which helps healing at any stage of healing that  you are. On the other hand "The flipper" is a bad idea the compression that causes the same apparatus and the mastication can cause the loss of the bone graft. best wishes.
