Re: Dangerous to remove abutment?

Thanks Steve for your answer(s). Still trying to process it all. It
took so long to get the implants to fuse with her jaw bone, I doubt
she will risk it again. Short of replacing the abutment with a
porceline abutment, or a gum graft, is there any solution to conveling
the metal that is showing?



I'm thinking the lab could fabricate a collar on the crown that covers the exposed metal. However, that would make it somewhat more difficult to clean around the gumline. Still, if you're unhappy enough, that is an option that wouldn't require removal of the abutment.
