Avatar m tn because the bulky area underneath my upper left lip, every time when I smile, that part of lip become thick and relative big when compare to the right side of my upper lip as the bulky surgical area underneath the lip push against the lip when I smile. will this be permanent? or it is too early to say now and bulkyness could reduce over time as time pass by and my smile will become normal? Thanks.
Avatar m tn A couple days later I called my oral surgeon and told him that my left chin and lower lip are numb. He asked me to come to the office to back out the implant a millimeter or two because it might be touching a nerve. On 5/23 the oral surgeon backed out implants #31 and #29. He did tell me that he suspected that implant #29 was possibly compressing a nerve area. Today is 5/30 and the numbness has not gone. Area around tooth #28, #27 and # 26 is very numb (lower lip and chin only).
Avatar f tn Thank you for your response. I'm not sure what a radio graphic exam is, but when I told him about the numbness one week after the implant, he said that it might be permanent. I've never cried so much as I have since having this done. I see him again on Monday and my fingers are crossed he will take care of the numbness. Ironically, I only needed the implant because the tooth broke within an hour of him filling it.
Avatar f tn If your symptoms developed after implant placement, you are probably afficted with the condition known as traumatic trigeminal neuropathy. Removal of implant may not always resume normal nerve function.However, current evidences suggest that pharmacologic intervention may restore normal nerve function.Seeing an orofacial pain specialist or neurologist is advised.
Avatar f tn I have not had intercourse with my boyfriend since the implant, was tested for STDs before getting it implanted and have only been sexually active with my boyfriend for the past 10 months. It does not appear like the warts and herpes shown in images on the web. The other reason I suspected an STD is that I have had a cold sore on my lip for a week not too. Is it possible that the IUD is causing some kind of infection?
Avatar m tn Two weeks ago i had an implant put in my mouth on the right side of my lower jaw. Unfortunately my dentist drilled to far with the implant drill and nicked the Inferior alveolar nerve which provide sensation to my lower lip, chin as well as gums and teeth. It took me a week just to come to terms with. I'm trying to remain hopeful but its hard. this. My dentist informed me that nerves heal slow and this might take weeks months or even a year. He cant even guarantee ill ever get feeling back.
Avatar n tn Since he used those the chin implant isnt even, even with my real chin it sits up a tiny bit and its not centered. I never had a problem with my chin it was just short. I thought when a chin implant was placed that it was suppose to at least be even with your original chin? What do you secure it with if the person doesnt have plates from a prior surgery? Also it seems as tho my smile isnt as big cuz the chin implant is too high up and not allowing my lower lip to pull down as far?

Avatar n tn I can only think that if the implant was put in via the mouth and afterwards the pocket inside your lower lip (vestibule) is much lower, then it may be that you need some more surgery to reattach the mentalis. This procedure is called 'mentalis resuspension.' You can google the term to find a plastic surgeon who specialises in this. The description of the your 'teeth hanging in front of the jaw bone" is not really clear.
Avatar f tn he put a composite instead of the tooth and asked me to come for an implant but the dental surgeon who will work with him told me to make a panoramic and a periapical before taking the decision of the implant it showed that my roots are good and i dont feel any pain but it doesnt show the crack...i saw the crack in the mirror i know it is there but no one can now how deep is it...till now i dont feel any pain...which is better a crown or an implan am really sad it makes me look ugly...
Avatar n tn I have had one implants removed due to terrible pain from the implant sticking into my lower lip. Now the left side of my chin and lower lip is so painful I leave my dentures out most of the time. I keep them in while at work, but I'm in misery all day. There is severe pain in my upper gums at night. I sleep with my head elevated to an almost sitting position. My dentist and oral surgeon don't have any suggestions. Is there anything I can do to relieve the discomfort?
Avatar m tn Earlier this year, I completed the six month or so long process of getting a dental implant on #18. Ever since the crown was placed on the implant, the implant hasn't felt right, despite my dentist making several adjustments and my oral surgeon's assurances that nothing seems wrong with the implant (x-rays and examination of it). When I bite down on it with certain foods, it feels uncomfortable, almost like it has moved, but apparently it hasn't.
Avatar n tn clock shape and they also advice me to remove implant as soon as possible so i want to know what will be the shape and condition after implant removal
Avatar n tn I received 2 implants in the lower jaw (pos. 34 and 35) early yesterday. My lower lip and chin area are still numb (feels like when dental injections are just about to wear off - except they don't). The implantologist says the nerves are not damaged and can apparently see this on the X-rays. He says the feeling will disappear over several days and is caused by the local anaesthetic. Qu. Can the aneasthetic (or the way it was administered) really be the cause?
Avatar n tn The dentist told me to have a veneer on this tooth since it was quite yellow. After the implant crown and veneer was put in, I started to feel numbness on my top and bottom lips. I have had this numbness for nearly 3 months now. Finally, the dentist took an xray and said the root of the root canaled tooth is infected and he will perform an apicoectomies to remove the infection.Am I suffering from Nerve damage? The dentist hasn't mentioned nerve damage at all.
703897 tn?1248019974 If he put the implant in too soon and the bone is not healed, can he still leave the implant in and it keep healing along with the bone, or if I am in this much pain now, should I have it taken out and wait until the bone heals and try it again after 6 months or so? I am in so much pain I am just thinking about having it removed. Thanks for your response.
Avatar f tn Has anybody had a tooth implant ? Could you tell me if it hurts? and what it's like? How long does it take ?
Avatar m tn Failure to precisely locate the IAN and MF invites surgical insult by the drills and the implant itself. Such insult may cause irreparable damage to the nerve, often felt as a paresthesia (numbness) or dysesthesia (painful numbness) of the gum, lip and chin. Read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant Also, if the symptoms started when the implant was placed, maybe somehow it impinges a nerve and should be removed. Please keep me updated, this is interesting.
Avatar m tn Yes, it is the plan, after the orthodontics treatment, I will get a implant for #10. Besides photos, x-ray, is there any other way? I am worried , looks like my orthodontics will only use eye judgement. No other equitment , or facility that when put arch wire on, that could measure what is the best position to put? Thanks.
Avatar n tn Hello from a newbie! Hi out there. I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I've been searching the web for info about dental implants and found this board. I've never thought about joining a board before, but after reading through some posts, I'm happy I did. I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support you offer eachother here.
Avatar n tn I am wondering if cost of implants has anything to do with outcome. One nurse told me about tissue expanders before the actual implant will give a better look, any truth to this? Also, since the shell of the implant is silicone any reason to not choose silicone fill? Silicone fill sounds better as it is more natural feel and lighter, but would like to hear about what it is like to remove leaked silicone from tissue.
Avatar n tn I had a chin implant a week ago today and since then I have had a strange lisp and noticed that when I smile, the middle of my bottom lip dosn't move down. When I talk my bottom lip hardly moves at all, and that is what is causing my lisp. What is weird is that the part that won't move isn't numb compared to the rest of my lower jaw. Is this nerve damage or muscle damage and is it permanent? Is this normal?
Avatar f tn If your spotting goes to a period, it's just a period, so you wait until you're done and then you try again. But after you conceive it takes somewhere in the range of 8-10 days for the baby to implant and start producing the hormones that the pregnancy test measures, so that's why I say wait 2 weeks...doing it earlier would probably be a waste of your money.
