Q.
Hi I have just had two implants placed in UL2 and UR1. UL1 is also missing and they are going to place a bridge. I damaged the teeth in a sporting accident many years ago and I am now getting them replaced. It is the third day after the implants and my mouth is very sore and swollen. I even have a black eye! During the procedure I was constantly feeling it and needed roughly 20 injections! Is this the reason I am so swollen and in a lot of pain? Or could something be wrong? I am also concerned about the interim period before my next appointment in Feb. I am a teacher and obviously need front teeth to do my job. When will I be able to wear the denture that has been made at the moment it feels like never. Also when I have the Uncover procedure there is a further 6-8 weeks before the bridge is placed. How can I wear my denture with the metal posts in place and will the procedure leave me sore and unable to waer it like the first one. This is really worrying me as I cant take that amount of time off! Sorry about the barrage of questions but I am really anxious. Many thanks,
