Hi Bryanna,

Back in Dec. you helped me with a question about dental implants. I had the implant placed shortly after and went to my general dentist today for the next step. The screw was removed (no pain) and an abutment placed - ouch, it hurt a lot!! My question is should that procedure have hurt at all? Is this a bad sign?

After the abutment was in, an impression was taken, the abutment was then removed, the screw re-inserted and I was sent home.

I kind of dread going back to have the screw removed again and another abutment placed.
