I had two implants put in about 18 months ago. No problems with them so far. Just under 1000€ a tooth though including extraction and follow up checks!

rafiki,

I had an implant done about 6 weeks ago.
Question... the tooth seems a bit loose and I suspect this should not be, can you please advise?
I will not be in spain until last week sept but will be ok until then...
What is your opinion?

Yes, one of mine became loose a month or two after installation. I went back ad the dentist used s tool to retighten it and I have had no problems since.

I would not leave it that long as a loose fit may be damaged in use. It was just a two minute job to fix it so an emergency appointment wherever you are might be advisable.

I would see an implant dentist where you are living at the moment.

The process takes quite a few months so you need to take that into consideration as well.
