Will My Implants Become Loose Through Denture Removal?

January 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hi Nigel, I am about to have implant retained dentures to my upper jaw, what is the probability of the implants working loose with daily denture removal, This has been implied that it is quite common recently after a second consultation where the dentist was trying to sell me All-on-4 dental implants. I would appreciate your expert advice, Thank you, any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated, I look forward to reading your response.

Would dental implants be suitable for me?

October 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have 2 missing permanent teeth on the bottom jaw and have been considering implants for a while I am just concerned about my health. I suffer from supra ventricular tachycardia when I panic/stress out and have an irregular heartbeat anyway. I had 2 extractions in the past and was put to sleep, when I was coming around I was on a heart monitor because my heart was beating very irregularly. I am worried this will affect my chances of having implants, have you ever helped any patients with this problem? thank you!

I have been advised to have my tooth removed due to an abscess, can I have an immediate implant fitted the same day?

October 2nd, 2012
Q.

hello, i had to visit the emergency dentist around 2 weeks ago as i was suffering from an abscess that swelled immensely in just a couple of hours. that day i had been to the dentist in regards to crown replacement and he fiddled around with the tooth quite a bit and made me an appointment for 3 weeks to have it replaced. After seeing the emergency dentist he said the abscess was due to the tooth being infected and said it needed to be removed! I let him remove the abscess and then left. If I was to have the tooth removed is there any chance of me being able to have a dental implant fitted right there and then? or would that not be possible with the are being infected? i really don’t want to have to walk around with a missing tooth, which would be noticeable (as it is quite close to the front). Thanks

September 13th, 2012
Q.

hi on average how long does it take a dental implant to fully integrate with the jaw bone? i don’t want to be left for months and months only being allowed to eat soup, i love my food! me and my wife go places and dabble in fine dining quite often. however, the two teeth i need replacing are back molars on the left hand side and eating on the right hand side is starting to become painful. thank you, regards,

I want to follow your career path, which university should I go to for my Masters course?

September 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello! I saw that you went to Manchester University, which is where I go too! I am also studying dentistry too. I really want to follow your route as I am also very interested in restorative dentistry. I was just wondering if you could give me a guide as to how you achieved what you did? I’m considering taking my masters in Edinburgh but not so sure, I’ve heard great things about the university though but wondered where you thought would be best? I want to specialise in implantology, as I am very interested in the subject. I am only in my second year at University but would really like to gather up as many options as I can so I can research into where would be best for me to study my masters… I understand that you’re very busy so I want to thank you for your time.

I have some concerns about receiving dental implants, what should I do?

August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have been told I am suitable for implants, luckily I only lost the missing teeth about 2 months ago in an accident (not so lucky) but I have enough jaw bone and there isn’t any trauma to it either which is great news. I am extremely worried about the surgery however, I know implants are very successful but I have read/been told that they do fail sometimes- which is also very painful. Have you experienced any patients whose dental implants have failed and what can be done about it? because surely there would be a big gaping hole there and infection and just all sorts of horrible stuff and you wouldn’t be suitable for an implant then would you?

Do you think that implant retained dentures could be an option for me?

June 25th, 2012
Q.

I had 9 teeth extracted on 21st June due to periodontitis, leaving one front tooth and both eye teeth in my upper jaw, I had immediate dentures fitted. My NHS dentist told me a bridge was not an option as there was too much bone loss, however he did say he could refer me for implants if I went privately and they would cost about £1,000 per tooth. Do you think implant retained dentures could be an option for me? I would be grateful for any advise ou could give me. Thankyou

Will I require a normal implant or is there an alternative?

June 12th, 2012
Q.

Dear Mr Rosenbaum,
I am due to have a few of my teeth removed this week. I am then told I will have to wait a short while before replacing them. to give you the idea of the situation. there are two teeth together and a tooth on its own in a different location to be removed. I have heard about mini implants and plate (…?) implants. I was wondering if you could tell me whether these would be better than the normal implants or whether they’re only used in specific circumstances or anything? I would like to receive the best one’s possible. thanks
