Message: [QUOTE="Gabby, post: 127101, member: 10586"] Last year my daughter accidentally broke my front tooth ( under a crown), I was told my tooth cracked under my gum level and it will have to come out. After discussing It with my dentist I decided on implant and also replacing my other 3 crowns for better match. Implant settled in well. All was meant to be finish in May but due to the pandemic there was a delay. Looking back after my gums have healed following the implant placement I have noticed that my gum have shrunken around the implant area and also around the crown next to the implant. My dentist told me not to worry and that we can sort that at later date. Exactly 2 weeks today I had the 3 crowns replaced and the implant “finished” with the crown. At the time I have noticed the gaps between my new crowns, my dentist said that my gum will grow into those spaces. No changes since and I’m reading loads of posts from dentists saying that this won’t happen? When I talk bubbles form in those areas, it’s very embarrassing, also food get stuck in those gaps constantly, I didn’t have this problem with my old crowns. Also I have noticed ( today) that on the back of the implant ( inside my mouth) I can see a black line, I’m guessing the crown doesn’t sit right against my gum, of course no one can see this but I worry food will get stuck there causing decay/ infection. Last but not least where my gum shrunk on my front tooth the tooth not only looks longer than the other one but I can almost see the “end” of the crown as there is not much gum between the crown and gum line. I just wanted to check with someone that I am right in wanting to go back and question all these things. I worry if I go back I’ll just be fobbed off as I don’t really know what I’m taking about. Many thanks [/QUOTE]
