I got the all on four fitted. I have been having lots of problems with them.

As you know when you get the all on four fitted you get 8 abutments fitted. 4 upper and 4 lower.

When I look at lower all on four in the mirror I can see part of one of the abutments on the lower left hand side. I would guesstimate I can see about 1/4 of an inch of the abutment.

I cannot see any of the other 7 abutments.

When I showed my dentist where I can see the abutment she said this is sometimes normal? She said when she tried to fit the abutment I can see it would only go in so far. She said if she would have tried to push the abutment in further she may have damaged my lower jaw bone.

Is this normal?
