The red gums and white draining from above the implant sound like an infection. Schedule a visit with your surgeon as soon as possible. Implants can get an infection just like teeth. We also will try ozone gas or a LANAP (laser gum surgery) to save infected implants.
A dental implant can get a gum infection in the same manner that a tooth can develop a gum infection. If a space was present at the time that the implant was placed, or a space developed since the time that the implant was placed, then bacteria can accumulate in that area, which is known as a periodontal pocket, which will result in the production of pus and can ultimately destroy the bone around the implant. Depending upon the extent of the bone loss around the implant, it may or may not be savable.It is best to have it looked at as soon as possible to determine if it can be treated concede.I hope this information is helpful,Dr. Champagne
Yes, you can , even once the implant its integrated and strong. The hygiene around the abutment and crown , needs to be perfect, if not remember that the gap between the implant and the gum, has no ligaments ,so this can be an area of food or bacteria storage, causing all this you are saying. If you go to your specialist , there is a chance of implant recovery, with different surgical procedures. Hope this helps!
You need to see your dentist immediately. Hopefully, it is not a problem with the implant itself. If the crown was placed with cement and a little cement oozed under the gum, even something as small as a grain of sand, after a couple of years an inflammation develops. Removal of that speck of cement clears up the problem immediately.
Hi,Ideally 3 weeks is enough time to recuperate after implant / graft placement and there should not be any difficulty while long distance flying.I would still recommend that you speak to your dentist about the same before the surgery.Regards
In the vast majority of situations a complete dental implant restoration can be done on the upper arch. If the jawbone needs to be augmented due to resorption, then there are multiple bone graft techniques that can be employed. If the maxillary sinus has dropped and there is insufficient bone...
Dental implants cannot move, actually they are anchored in the bone. They cannot have any rotation or protrusion ,no matter how much force you apply. What can be happening, is that the continuous tooth,due to the ligament it has and the masticatory forces. It can be presenting some slight...
