Hi there,

I had a push bike accident that damaged and moved my front teeth 3
years ago. After 2.5 years of orthodontic treatment I was ready to
finalise the treatment and put 3 implants (12, 21, 22).

I've had this procedure done a month ago, successfully 3 implants were
placed and since I'd lost gum tissue he also brought my gum line down.
He also did a bone graft to fill a small space where bone was missing.
On the xray I can see that the implants go up to behind my nose. They
placed the provisory teeth a week after the surgery.

A little hole was left to heal on top of the front implant (on the roof
of my mouth), it hasn't yet closed and I can see a bit of the actual
pins (21,22). Also, since then I feel the gum they brought down is
receeding and the plan is to have a gum surgery in 3 months time.

My questions are:

1 - Should I be worried with this little hole and the fact that I can
see a bit of the pins?

2 - The gum receeding on top of the 2 implants, how successful can a
gum graft be?

3 - How long does it take to actually know if the implants have worked?
What are the signs that it's not working?

They used Branmark (?) material.

I hope to hear your suggestions and comments

Thank you
Silvia
