These implants are very tiny and literally take only a couple of minutes to put in. There is no post operative pain, just a little temporary soreness. Perhaps you could bring this up to your dentist at one of your adjustment appointments and see what he/she says!

Thanks for checking in........ please keep in touch!!

I have never thanked you for explaining a few pointers on Dentures. Our computer has been in the shop for awhile.
I am close to the 2 month mark now and the uppers have given me no problems.
The lowers are difficult to get use to as a point of a bone is still pushing out.
This makes trying to chew real food almost impossible. I ground up my meat yesterday and that helped. How do people go out to eat without their bottom teeth flopping out? I told my husband that I didn't want to eat out and he said
" Its OK, you can watch me eat." he was only joking , and it was kinda funny.
I know that I will adapt in time, or not. Just kidding.
I appreciate your help and sometimes it's just nice to know that support isn't far away. You are great.
