This is my first time hearing about this saw a dentist today and they weren't that comfortable with placing a crown even though it's the only one my insurance will cover. As for #24/25 curious if it's showing good healing compared to my old pano.

What was the reason for them not wanting to place an implant crown? Can't see that the angle is weird? Also difficult to compare the two x-rays, due to the first being of poor quality.

Yeah not sure why it's blew up lighting like that if you zoom in you can kind of see some dark spots but the GP looks way better than old pano imo.
It does look like #2 moved a little after comparing?

The positioning of the patient could be the cause of the apparent movement of the implant. But it still seems like there is sufficient bone around the implant and can't see any radioluceny around the implant, which could mean disintergration.
Did they do a 3D scan or perform a torque test to check stability?

A “weird” implant angle can sometimes be normal—dentists may place implants slightly angled to avoid nerves, sinuses, or weak bone. Also, the crown on top can be angled differently, which can make it look off even if the implant is fine.
But if it looks clearly misaligned, affects your bite, or feels uncomfortable, it’s best to get it checked with an X-ray to be safe.
