How would a dental implant effect the natural tooth or teeth next or adjacent to the implant? Would those teeth become more sensitive?

A properly placed dental implant would not create sensitivity problems with the adjacent teeth.If you have a little root surface exposure on the adjacent teeth, or the adjacent root has been traumatized during surgery it may happen.Assuming that everything went well during surgery, I cannot give you a reason for the sensitivity.If this is not a hypothetical question, I suggest that you contact the surgeon who placed the implant and make him (or her) aware of your concerns.I hope this helps.Carlos Boudet, DDS, DICOI
