Flipper not fitting after implants. what should i do?

See your dentist: It's important for the flipper to fit correctly. You don't want it putting any pressure on the newly placed implants. Don't wear the flipper until it is adjusted.

Simple fix: This is quite typical and usually just requires a simple adjustment. Let your dentist know what's going on and schedule an appointment. You should be able to be seen right away.
