Temporary dental implant/bridge

[sendicott]

Hi! I just got dental implant/bridge surgery on Wednesday because my former dentist botched my two front crowns so my new dentist saw me last Monday, and I had the surgery on Wednesday! My question is I’m 4 days post surgery and I have a dull ache that comes and goes but it’s not insane! Is that normal?

This sounds like normal post operative surgical pain and should subside after 7-10 days. If it feels the same or worse after that, you need to arrange a follow up visit with your surgeon.
