Hi there
I recently had 3 dental implants completed.
One is fine but there are two next to each other...these had a substantial gap underneath them after the procedure. A lot of food was getting stuck here, to the point i needed to waterfloss after eating anything.
I returned to the dentist who appears to have just filled the gap with some sort of material, but this doesn't seem right?
I can't see anywhere with simple advice on this and was wondering if this is normal?

This sounds like a possible lab mistake. In a case like this, the crown can be adjusted by adding porcelain to the implant crown. Do you have a photo?

In the 2nd pic, is that stuff what your dentist put there?
Do you have any Xrays taken after the implants and crowns were placed?
Were the implants cemented or screwed into place?

Yes thats the stuff the dentist put underneath the implant (is this acknowledgement that implant has gone wrong?)
I have no xrays taken after the implants and crowns were placed.
I want to understand if it is common to have implants filled afterwards, also if there was a better procedure for bridging the gap between my gum and tooth as this just seems like a temporary fix.
