After 2 months of getting my dental implants, one of the screws came off so I went to the dentist. The dentist took it from my hand and without sterilizing or disinfecting it straight away screwed it back in place very tightly. When I reached home I had a lot of discomfort and the next morning my entire lt face was swollen. I called the dentist and told him about it and he just asked me to take some anti inflammatory and antibiotics. Should I go to some other dentist and get the screw removed?
Three weeks after two dental implants the inside of my gums are still swollen, painful and throbbing. The dentist has x-rayed them and all is fine, no infection, no movement, but I would not expect pain at this stage, as everything I've read says it should be better by 10 days. I have inflammation in a sinus near the site and I have autoimmune thyroid disease which I understand can lead to soft tissue problems. At what point should I be thinking this has failed?
Post-op pain started after 24 h; visit after 72 h: no swelling, perfect healing; CT: not close to nerves, dense bone. On day 7: new CT. Excluded: infection, necrosis, neuropathy. Sutures removed. The implant does not reach the bottom of the hole but that's ok. Doctor thinks I have bone pain - I'm using max Ibuprofen, should I go through this w/ smaller amounts of Ibuprofen? Reduced Ibpf but some dull pain remains most of the time. Pain goes off sometimes or gets reflected to #1. Not sure if pain getting weaker.
I had #19 removed and an implant installed about 1 year ago. I did not have the crown yet. My healing cap came out. I recovered it and took to dentist office. An assistant screwed it back in yesterday morning.
Had only R3/R2/R1/L1/L2/L3. Weak L5 was extracted 2 d. prior to surgery. Implants were supposed to be R4+R6 & L4+L6. However the implant was placed in the place of the extracted L5 - ??? Granules with collagen were used on both sides + plasma on the right side. I was prescribed Erythromycin and told no need to rinse.The pain subsided.However the swelling after 2 days is increasing on both sides. Very painful under chin on the left, swollen under tongue/ligaments(?) on the right side .
I'm in the process of getting a dental implant. The piece was put in that needed to heal and healed properly with no complications. Today I got an impression taken to finish the procedure. So she unscrewed the bit on top and took an impression. All was well no pain seemingly no problems. However it's been about 8 hours and im having a lot of swelling and pain in the area and into my jaw. Is this normal and will go down eventually or would you say there is an infection showing up already?
I had dental implant surgery 3 days ago in the spaces where my teeth are obviously missing. The right side is swollen and the left side isnt. Is this something to be concerned about? The pain at this point is minimal and only bothers me when there is pressure on that area. My stitches also fell out on their own tonight. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor in a couple days I just wanna make sure I dont have to go in sooner.
I had five teeth in far back taken out approx 5 weeks ago. Let me say the black in the socket must be a shadow or something. It looks very clen. A week ago my jaw popped very very loudly with immediate pain by the #18 area. Swelling, sore and mild pain. I then noticed this white bone. I went back to surgeon and said its a bone working out. I'm in the worst pain I've ever had! Hammer to the face wouldn't be as bad. I'm on pain and biotics, is this normal? Please help! Pain!
Crown was removed and i still have problems. Is this a failed implant or is the implant gone too far up towards my sinus, my doctor also did sinus up lifting. i am thinking about removing the implant.is it simple to remove implant ? Any complications after removal?
