Do symptoms point to infection of dental implant?

September 19th, 2010
Q.
Two weeks ago I finally had my dental implant put in. I stuck to all the dentist’s instructions what with salt water to rinse mouth and medication, but still managed to get red sweling around the area. From what I have read up on it would seem that the implant has failed and I have made an appointment within the next few days. Does this kind of thing happen often? Is it likely to happen again if I get the implant done again? How long will it take for the gum to recover from this?
A.
it may just be infected. you s… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can you give me some info on the sinus lift procedure?

September 18th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr Fahey. I am having a dental implant done in two weeks but have discovered that I will need to have bone grafting and a sinus lift. This had only added to what was already a very high level of anxiety about the treatment. I am not exactly sure why I am so fearful. I have broken bones before and coped with the pain find so I know I can handle it but still I worry greatly. I think it may be that I just don’t know what to expect. Could you offer any info about the bone graft and sinus lift, and any possible complications. Thank you for your time, Rachel.
