Implant Crown has gap with other teeth, food stuck in? (Photo)

October 14, 2017
Asked By:junxunzhang in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Teeth 45 and 46 Splinted implant crown put in a couple days ago. After the crown put in, my dentist did some adjustment and I felt no pain with bite. My problem is after every meal, the food stuck in between the crown and nearby tooth and in between the gum and crown. I must do floss to make the food out after each meal. I am worried about the food stuck in. Please give me some advice how to slove the problem. Any adjustment will fill the gap or not? Food stuck there will hurt gum and tooth.

Hi: Unfortunately as long as the root canal tooth is there, any fix will be temporary.  Ultimately, a zirconium implant with a zirconium abutment may be the only way to get rid of the gray. Best, Dr. Maddahi
