Implant Numbness for 1 Year
by rit300, Nov 02, 2009 07:01AM
A year ago I had two implants placed in my lower right jaw to replace the eye tooth and the one right past it toward the back. Since that surgery my lower right lip (the part right outside the implants) has been numb. The Dr said that this is common and it should go away within 6 months but it is still as numb as it was after the surgery. Is this a common mistake that any surgeon could have made regardless of how good he/she is -or - had the surgeon been more careful it could & should have been avoided?
I realize that every surgery has it's risks --- but what I am trying to understand is if it should have been avoided.
Thank you!
