3 month after the implant, and the gum still not close
by hoho603, Jul 21, 2008 05:42PM
I have implant done on tooth #10 , which is a front tooth, in the middle of April, 2008. no abutment put in, and the suture was taken off after two weeks of the surgery.
suppose the gum will close several weeks after the suture removed, but now, 3 month passed the surgery, my gum still not closed. I am deeply worried if that will cause any problem.
if the gum still not close after 6 moths of the surgery, do I need to do gum regeneration? how much will it cost?
currently, my gum is too thin, based on the speed it grows, by October, which is the recommended the time to do implant crown, doctor told me it might not have enough gum to cover the root of crown, and it will have space between the crown and the adjacent tooth, which is ugly. I am terrified, it is front tooth, any recommendations that I could do to solve this problem? Thanks!!!
