Can I have braces even though I already have 2 dental implants?

December 12th, 2012
Q.

I’ve got 2 dental implants, on the bottom jaw (due to an accident several years ago). Since my wisdom teeth have come through the surrounding teeth look very misaligned with the two implants looking perfectly straight…i look ridiculous! I haven’t had time to visit my dentist yet but I am due for a check up in 2 weeks. I would just like some general info to help me get across to him what i want and i hope you can help me? I want to know if i can have braces even though I have implants? Or is that a stupid question to ask him? he’s very abrupt haha so i don’t want him outright laughing at me! Thanks.

I have diabetes and suffer from gum disease, what are my options for replacing my missing teeth?

December 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi. I’d like an honest, straight forward answer please as my dentist can’t seem to provide me with one and goes all swings and roundabouts on me! I have 2 missing back teeth and would love implants. I am prone to gum disease (as I have diabetes) and worried that if I have implants the area will get infected and they’ll fail. If they are a success I don’t want any gum problems….so I don’t know what to do. I really don’t want a partial denture, so what would you advise? Would I be okay with implants? Thanks for your time.

I have been advised against implants as I suffer from periodontal disease, what are my options?

December 12th, 2012
Q.

Hi. I suffer from periodontal disease (but it is currently under control) as a result I lost a number of my teeth and have been advised against implants as they would most probably fail as I have lost a substantial amount of supporting bone. So, would you be able to recommend another type of treatment? I have looked at all on 4 implants as they require little bone? My dentist doesn’t supply them though. Can you please advise me? Thank you for your time. Rgards.

Can I have all-on-4′s if I’m diabetic?

December 4th, 2012
Q.

would i be suitable for all on 4 implants if i have diabetes? i have already been told i am not suitable for implants by my dentist because he thinks i wouldn’t recover successfully and he doesn’t do the all on 4′s. I’ve read they are likely to be more suitable for those who aren’t for traditional implants? i am looking for an experienced dentist in london who have treated diabetic patients with all on 4′s before, have you treated diabetic patients? thank you in advance.

If I get dentures do I have to have implants too?

December 4th, 2012
Q.

Hi Sandra, I am left a little confused about dentures? I am probably going to need a pair in the near future. I am confused as to what they come with to make them secure? I know that with half dentures you get clamp things for your teeth and I have heard about having implants for full dentures. If I get dentures do I have to get implants separately or do they all come together? (a little bit confused as there are denture AND inmplant experts also on this site?) thanks

I’m waiting for my implants but after having 12 teeth extracted I’ve noticed shards of bone coming from my gums, is this normal?

November 14th, 2012
Q.

Hello Lee, I had to have 12 teeth extracted recently in order for me to receive a full set of dental implants. The procedure was fine but I’m noticing shards of bone coming from my gums, this is making me worry a lot and my dentist is on holiday so I don’t know what to do. Is this normal after having so many extractions? and will I still be able to receive my dentures? I have to wait another week to see my dentist yet, please, please put my mind at ease. It’s really scaring me and it my mouth feels very uncomfortable, I am struggling to eat and sleep with both worry and discomfort. Thank you.

Can I retain my partial dentures without dental implants?

October 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi I want to know if there are any ways in which my partial denture can be successfully retained without the need for dental implants? My dentist has suggested that I have dental implants but I really do not want them, I don’t want to undergo any surgery of any form, the thought of it genuinely petrifies me. I have tried all sorts but nothing is working and it constantly moves, which is embarrassing and causing sores in my mouth. Is there ANYTHING you can suggest? Thanks.

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!
