Lasting (weeks) pain after seating of crown on implant abutment? (photo)

PatientInPainDec 27, 2016
Since the crown has been seated on the implant (with maxillary sinus lift, bone crafting) abutment I’m in constant pain (increased pain when force is applied to crown/implant) in the area around the implant. The pain increases when force is applied to the crown/implant. Clindamycin brought not pain relief. I have seen the dentist several times regarding this issue and one occlusal adjustment has already been done.

This look can be improved by correcting the gingival coverage. We often see young patients with gums that cover the teeth making them appear smaller than normal. Lasers are perfect to do this quickly, painlessly and have the benefit of rapid healing.

I'll first mention that sometimes patients mistake a hygienist for a docotr, a doctor for a dental assistant or a dental assistant from a hygienist.  A hygienist should not adjust crowns unless they have specific credentials/license (rare). They are not trained to adjust teeth but some...
