- Implant problem: I just had two front teeth (#9 and 10) replaced by Strohmann implants. After having the crowns put on, I was very upset. The implants were not placed exactly within my natural row of front teeth on the gum line. They were placed some distance behind the row of front teeth. This necessitated large curved crowns. I am constantly aware of the implant site because being placed to the rear of my gumline my tongue is constantly in contact with it. There is a bump at the point of connection between the crown and implant and this interferes with my bite. It is uncomfortable and I am totally disappointed after over a year of preparation, cost and suffering. What can I do? ... Visitor from NY (answer)
