“Is it normal to have a moving gum around a dental implant?”

Its a hard question to answer without seeing the gum tissue. The implant goes through the gum tissue and the tissue grows up around the implant healing abutment. So there can be tissue that moves around. The implant should never move, and the tissue should never be swollen or inflamed. If you have any concerned. See a dentist for further evaluation.

Having a moving gum around a dental implant is not typically considered normal. In a healthy situation, the gum tissue should be stable and securely attached around the implant, similar to how it adheres around natural teeth. Movement or instability in the gum tissue around an implant can indicate potential problems such as: Infection or Inflammation: Peri-implantitis, an infection of the tissues surrounding the implant, can cause gum movement, swelling, and discomfort. Improper Healing: If the implant hasn't properly integrated with the bone or if the gum tissue hasn't healed correctly around the implant, it may lead to mobility in the gums. Mechanical Issues with the Implant: Problems with the implant itself, like a loose abutment or an issue with the implant's positioning, can affect the surrounding gum tissue. Gum Recession: Gum recession around an implant can sometimes give the appearance of movement as the gum line changes. If you are experiencing movement in the gum around a dental implant, it is important to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible. They can assess the situation, determine the underlying cause, and provide appropriate treatment to prevent further complications. Regular check-ups and proper oral hygiene are crucial in maintaining the health of dental implants and the surrounding tissues. Best, Lior Neuman, DDS

I am not sure what you mean but the gum should be firm around the implant and crown
