Q.
I have an implant of the 4 teeth at the upper front for the last 4 years, never had a problem until recently when I could feel something swelling at the back of the front teeth, it eventually burst and a lot of puss came out, I went to see my dentist and took an x ray and told me that I have a big infection near one of the implant, at present he is not sure what to do, he gave me antibiotics for one week and then I have to see him to decide what it could be the best procedure. Can you please advice me? options at present are: to remove the implant and replace it or to open up the implant and wash it off but before to take a scan in 3 dimention.
