Dental Implants -final restoration just went in on teeth 7/8 on Tuesday. Last year, 9/10 were done. Help.?

I just had the final restoration of implants put in on 7/8 on Tuesday. They don%26#039;t feel like teeth 9/10 did. Not sure if they are too close or what. Tooth 6 feels like it%26#039;s getting in the way, it feels like it moves towards the implant tooth or something. When the dentist put them in on Tuesday, I had pain in the morning, not sure if I was bruised or something. Felt like a pain when you get a bruise. My gum/bone hurt. Is this normal? I haven%26#039;t taken a direct bit into anything yet. When I bite into something very very soft, like soft breard, I hear a crackling sound or something like a rubbing sound somewhere. Is this right? Teeth 8/9 are close and very tight together when I floss too. Was told it%26#039;s best to have them nice and tight. Will this settle? Will the space relax for me? Don%26#039;t want to loose these as I%26#039;ve gone through 2 years with no front teeth already. Please help with advice. Thanks.

I have been a dental assistant for about 8 years and this is my take on it. I do agree that the teeth should be fairly tight together. There is nothing more annoying in the world than constantly packing whatever you eat in between your teeth. I don%26#039;t understand why these restorations should feel different than the first ones or uncomfortable. That does not sound normal to me. Sometimes there can be issues with the restoration impinging (pinching) on the tissue underneath it. That could cause the pressure and soreness feelings. I would question it at the office that placed them. The implant should be integrated rather well with the bone at this point if the restoration was placed, so the bone/gum shoudn%26#039;t hurt. Unless there is impinging on the tissue, which means the restoration doesn%26#039;t fit properly. Good luck, call the office and question it. Let them know it doesn%26#039;t feel like the others did.
Reply:Dental implants do not have a periodontal ligament and as such, orthodontic movement is non-existent. The space can only %26quot;relax%26quot; if there is some movement to allow it to happen. The implants are not going to move, the inner posts/cores may flex and you may be feeling the flexing.


You may want the dentist to %26quot;slacken%26quot; them slightly for you.


Communication with your dentist, explaining your symptoms is a start.
Reply:It could be the bite is too high on the new implants, this could cause some tenderness. Have it checked out. Also, the implant could have loosened and could shift. Those things happen sometimes, probably an easy fix, and yes, you want as tight a contact as possible so food doesn%26#039;t trap as easily.
