Definitely connect with your dentist ! Pain is a bad sign. It could be due to lack of proper home care( implants differ from natural teeth and you might need different procedures and or instrumentation. It could be a delayed failure that requires action. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
It is a difficult question to answer since I dont know what was done to fix your implants. If you had surgery done to add some bone graft (which is the most common procedure) then it will take you a couple of weeks to feel better. If the pain getting stronger, please see your periodontist Isabel C.

You should definitely speak with your dentist to figure out what is causing the pain
Speak to your periodontist.
It’s possible there is gum impingement by the prosthesis.
Speak to the periodontist.
If you are having discomfort, you should contact your periodontist for evaluation.
You should speak to your periodontist as soon as possible. The implant crown may need to be adjusted. Also, the dental cement which is used to cement the implant crown may have extruded and lodged below the gum, which could cause an infection. In any case, if your gums are hurting and not getting better each day, see your periodontist.
It depends on how long you have been hurting and what the reasons are behind the pain. There could be several. The best plan is to see your restorative dentist first, as there may be a cement, allergy, or other reason that would cause the pain, so check with them first, followed if no resolution by seeing your periodontist.
Definitely.
You should go see your periodontist and speak with him.

If it persists beyond a week, you should speak to a periodontist
Pain around dental implants is abnormal and should be addressed by a periodontist.
There are many possible causes. Best to see your Periodontist immediately.
