Avatar f tn I had a dental implant in the mandible 6 months ago. After complaining of tingling sensations & numbness in the chin & lip, forward to where the implant is, the oral surgeon replaced it with a shorter one after one month. Another 5 months have passed, it has healed nicely & a crown has been attached by my dentist. The tingling is still there. When I touch my chin, my chin & lip tingle. After a routine cleaning & the crown, it seems a little bit worse.
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 m tn Hello I need your help I'm a mother (37 years old) I had a otoplastic surgery but the doctor wanted to do a chin implant too.......I wasn't sure but he told me if I don"t like he can remove it and I would come back to my pre-op... Then ( 18 days later) I didn't like it and I ask him to remove it but he didn't do it. Instead, he put a little one (he accepted than the first one was to big for me)....
Avatar n tn I had a chin implant placed exactly one year ago following 2 surgeries to bring my lower jaw forward. My chin since the first surgery has always been numb in spots but I always got my huge smile back. Following the chin implant I do not have as big of a smile. He secured the chin implant to the titanium plates used on my jaw surgery which made me mad. Since he used those the chin implant isnt even, even with my real chin it sits up a tiny bit and its not centered.
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 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 f tn remove that implant. You might have some cysts that bleed or even the implant itself is causing problems in your uterus. Please go to a OBGYN soon and request the above stated tests including the removal of that implant.

Avatar m tn / also my lips are a little more wrinkly then they usually are.
Avatar f tn s opinion, if two three pontic bridges supported by a capped canine tooth and an implant in the lateral position, would not be preferable to a four part bridge supported by three implants and then have the canine teeth crowned separately. Would the natural canine teeth and implants in the lateral position next to them, supporting a three part bridge, be stronger than a single four part one? Any information and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar m tn The doctor used the acrysof SN60WF implant. There is a fair amount of posts saying this implant does not work for everyone, and sometimes has to be switched to a different implant. Has anyone else encountered this problem ?

Avatar n tn It is not uncommon to still need reading glasses to some degree after this implant. A misaligned implant would be immediately seen by any surgeon. I suspect you just have good distance but limited near vision which is a definite possibility with this lens. I'm curious how you determined that you had a misaligned implant?
Avatar f tn Thank you Scottma for your help. I went to an oral surgeon a second opinion and he took several xrays. He showed me xrays and explained that the implant had entered an area of many nerves. He told me to have it removed immediately and even called the dentist that put the implant in. I then went and saw the dentist that put in the implant and he also took xrays.
222267 tn?1253302210 Titanium is the type of metal from which the implant is made. The implant is place into a hole in the bone which is sugically and purposefully created by the surgeon. Closure of oral wounds is usually done with local tissue flaps and in some cases a membrane may use as well as bone grafts. I hope this helps, but please understand that holes can occur anywhere in the palate and there are several anatomical spaces and vital structures that make a tremendous difference on the procedure.
Avatar f tn Within the past week I have been Nauseated, Tired, Having Headaches, Some Heartburn and Acid Reflux, Loss of Appetite And have also been having Brown Discharge and feel Extremely Bloated. I couldnt be pregnant could I? or is it just this Arm Implant making me feel Yucky! Oh and I've been on it for about 10 months now. Has anyone's Implanon ever Failed?
Avatar f tn Your lining could be too thick or too thin so the embryo wont implant. Mine was too thick and I had to have a d&c to resolve the issue. It worked (along with meds and lap surgery) and am now 28w1d pg. Also if the eggs ae not good quality they will not implant either. Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn I had surgery to intall a left ventrical lead thru the rib cage. then my implant area got infected. I am on antibiotics. I also have a high voltage on the LF lead that is draining the device life. I curently have 7 leads installed and the doctors are considering removing the implant and moving from the left chest to the right. I am worried that the procedure is very risky.
Avatar m tn My current dilemma is trying to decide whether or not to remove the existing implant that he was then able to install. We confirmed the next day by 3d scan that the implant he installed is not near the nerve canal so his feeling was to leave it in. I would rather leave it in and not risk causing more damage to an already injured nerve. Now the confusing part is when i got a second opinion from a different dentist he advised me to take the implant out.
703897 tn?1248019974 Post-op pain associated with implant placement is generally minimal,generally no more than 24 hours as reported by my patients. One or two doses of OTC pain killer is generally adequate. However, each individual 's pain response is different.Going back to your dentist to have a post-op evaluation is advised. Complete healing for an extraction site with or without bone graft takes 3-6 months in general.
Avatar f tn I have a cluster of small white bumps on the inside of my upper lip towards the left and also towards the middle and on the inside of my bottom lip towards the middle. They arent permanent, they come and go but they seem to always be in the same place. Whenever they are there, it seems like my lower gums are very soar where the gums meet the cheek and it hurts to eat or even drink anything, even water. It hurts and stings like i have cuts there. My throat also hurts when i swallow.
Avatar n tn I get a ulcer on my lower (inside) lip. It stays for a few days and goes away. I also have white lumpy blotches on some parts of my gums. On the far back of my tongue I have pea size lumps. Either corner of my top lip I have a cluster of spots (don't really know what they are) They are almost skin color. Please can someone reply with a possible answear to this, it is starting to worry me.
