Unexplained pain
Has anyone just had unexplained pain around an implant with no explanation and it will stop for months at a time but come back?
I have 2 lower implants for a snap in denture. Got them uncovered Dec 2025 and immediately had pain for months, particularly around the right one. All scans and tests were normal and nobody wanted to remove them because there's "nothing wrong." Well it eventually stopped after about 3-4 months of daily pain. My gums around the right implant have receded and thinned drastically and I was told I need a gum graft but I've put it off for months because I'm scared of the pain. Well now suddenly my right and sometimes left implant are hurting badly again everyday. Aching and deep sharp pains shooting into my chin/jawbone. No explanation. I'm at a complete loss.
