Hi dear Bryanna!
My mother had this issue with the placement of an implant and the first person i though of asking is you.
She was operated for putting 8 implantes and one of them affected her nerve so she has numbness in her lowrr jaw since 2 weeks. The dentist took xray and said they should wait, but wouldn't be a better idea to remove the implant thst is pinching the nerve to allow the recovery? If it isnt the case that the nerve was completely destroyed hopefully.
Many thanks and many blessings for you dear bryanna,
Natalia from Argentina
