    Your answer is to go back to an actual dentist an be evaluated. What you have is called Tempromandibular Joint Disorder.
    Could be from grinding, the extraction, trauma to the jaw or other orthodonic provedures. Your NightGard could also be part of the problem.

    Ballenferb1 is right. Sounds exactly like TMJ to me too. You are one of the lucky ones that only has the popping... most people have extreme jaw pain too.

    Go back to your dentist to find out what exactly is going on.

    If the night guard was made before your implants were placed you definitely need a new one. Every time you have dental work done (fillings, crowns, implants) you must have your night guard adjusted. Night guards are meant to be worn every night whether you think you are grinding or not. As an implant client a night guard will protect your implants and the bone around them.

    As ballengerb1 and Devorameira have said, get to your dentist and have him/her check your bite and wear patterns.
