The title is exactly what it states.
I had one implant just under the gum, so the Oral Surgeon
had to cut away the gum to expose it.
had to cut away the gum to expose it.
Under a local anesthesia, like you get at the dentist's when a tooth is going to be pulled, the Oral Surgeon deadened the area and then cut the gum away to expose the implant.
This is a normal occurrence and is easily taken care of.
I had this procedure November 13th.
This procedure is performed shortly before the installation of permanent implants!
YAY!
Yikes. My implants get exposed in April!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you. My abutements were all placed during surgery, so only one didn't get exposed properly after all the swelling went down.
