In : In rare cases, a patient may have an allergic reaction to implants made of titanium. If that is the case, you may want to consider zirconium implants.

Not sure: Do you have peri-implantitis? Are the implants failing? How do you x rays look? What is the bite like? You really need to be seen for another opinion from a qualified laser trained periodontist that knows how to do the lapip therapy.

Maybe: The question here is whether or not the dental implants are infected. If you don't have pain, mobility, swelling, or pus at the implant site, and there is no evidence of bone loss on the x-ray, then it is unlikely to be the cause of your fever and body aches. I'd have your doc rule out the implants, then see your family doc for more testing to find out what's going on. Keep smiling !

Need more info: If there was/is infection and your immune system is compromised, you may have systemic ramifications. However, all things being normal, the implant is not the likely cause. The oral surgeon is not the usual provider to replace the crown. See a prosthodontist for an evaluation.
