If there is swelling and pain around where I have had an implant fitted, does this mean the implant has fallen?

Q. I’ve just had bone augmentation and a large implant placed that should hold a bridge with 2 teeth on, however 3 weeks on and I have a large swelling and pain above the site which my dentist says is an infection. I feel so miserable about this, I have 2 young children and just feel like all the pain i’ve had from my teeth is taking me away from them. This was supposed to be a straightforward solution but I have lost faith in the process and my dentist. Has my implant failed? I am so miserable. Thank you.,
A. I’m not sure if the implant has or is failing without seeing you first. If you’d like me to take a look I’d be happy to give you my advice.
