One of my two recently fitted implants protrudes 45 degrees to the left and extends into my sinus. What do I do about the pain?

July 6th, 2012
Q.

Hello I have an issue with my implants, I have recently had two implants in the top front teeth, now the abutments have been fitted and one is located on the front of my gum about 0.5 cm or so up and protruding at 45 degrees towards the left tooth area. The top of this implant has now actually extended into the sinus area and can be seen on the x rays. This is really painful and I do not see how another tooth could ever be fitted to it whilst being in line with the others. Is there potentially a way this can be sorted out or should the implant be removed all together. It is all really painful in the bone and the gum as well after just 5 days, thank you for your time.

Pain is worse after artificial bone graft. Is implant problem one that will resolve itself?

December 22nd, 2011
Q.
I had a dental implant following root canal treatment on my front tooth which went wrong. The area under my nose remained sore even afer a few years of having the implant. I kept returning to the implant centre and was told everything was okay, however a few months ago I again returned and was informed that I would need an artificial bone graft. This was carried out 3 months ago. I have more pain than before now and the gum line has receeded showing some of the metal of the implant. It is uncomfortable and sore. My dentist said to see her again in 6 weeks and she would consider sending me to the hospital (which I requested). I’m concerned about returning to the implant centre as I have been going for around 2.5 years and the problem has just worsened. I have three questions really. If there is damage to the area can it be repaired? – I can’t sleep at night sometimes because I am worried that it will deteriorate so badly that I lose all my top teeth and the bone too. The second question is who can I turn to for advice as soon as possible to stop any further problems? My last question is – could it be just normal to be experiencing such discomfort – should I just wait longer for it to heal. Many thanks for your time ,
A.

I’m going to have a dental crown but can i have a dental implant when the crown reaches the end of its life?

January 24th, 2011
Q.
My dentist has given me the option of a dental implant or dental crown. At the moment I can not afford a dental implant and so am going to go with the dental crown. When that reaches the end of its life would I be fine to go ahead with getting a dental implant, hoping that I have the money that is?,

Has dentla implant treatment hit a nerve?

December 16th, 2010
Q.
I had five implants in my lower jaw in November 2009. I am 60 and was told that because of the bone atrophy of 38 years, my jaw was like that of a 90 year. During the surgery with implant “B” my left arm and left leg came flying up in the air which of course frightened the Surgeon as well as the patient . I had no contol over that motion as a nerve had been struck. That implant came loose and had to be replaced five weeks later.When the freezing needle was inserted the nerve again was hit causing the same reaction. Since then I have been having excruciating pain in my right shoulder blade,shoulder and arm.Sometimes in all three locations or it can be in either the arm or shoulder or shoulder blade.Is this something that will eventually clear up? Is the Implant on the nerve? Meds and hot baths and exercises as well as prayer help temporarily-but what is the big picture. A few minutes on the computer intesifies the pain and that is even with using my left hand.Even driving antagonizes it. Has anyone else experiened this, as I somehow don”t believe this is an isolated case.
