    Default Peri implant discomfort

    Hi Heidi
    Soreness around implants can be caused by a number of issues. Use of an incorrect abutment could certainly be one of those.
    Don't panic and get the right fitting abutment on ASAP, then you will have more of an idea how things are healing.
    Hope that helps
