I had my lower dentures secured with all on 4. Can this now be done on my upper jaw?

May 14th, 2012
Q.

Nigel. I have had my lower denture put on implants in the all on four treatment. It’s pretty amazing as to the results. I hate these people who put horror stories across the web that frighten people off. the treatment I had was absolutely amazing and I thank people like yourself for perfecting this. I was wondering though if it would be possible to have this same treatment on the upper jaw? my dentist said it was rarely used but does that mean you can’t have it or that there is a better option? I currently have a partial denture on top and don’t need to change yet I’m just finding out these things beforehand. thank you

After root canal treatment I need crowns. Is this a lengthy process?

May 14th, 2012
Q.

Dear Dr I had the first part of a root canal done on one of my molars in September 2006. At the time I was living in the US and had to pay for everything so I stopped short of getting the crown done. I now live in the UK and want to get a crown put on as the stub (not sure what the official name of whats left is) just looks unsightly. Its sort of yellowed out and the top has some sort of brown colouring that wont come off. There is no pain though. If I go to the dentist can they just make another crown for me and put it on? Or is there some sort of lengthy process associated?

Can restorative work be carried out on an old existing implant?

May 11th, 2012
Q.

Hello Mr Rosenbaum. I have had advice from yourself possibly off here before I remembered you but not the site so I don’t know? anyway My sister visited you not long back as she lives just bath Matlock bath, I live a little further away but with our two experiences combined I figured it’d be worth coming down to see you when I can get a day off. I need restorative work on an implant I had done years ago if that’s possible? I had It done at the time at an NHS dentist that then went private and then shut. we received notice that our records would be transferred to another dentist not so far away, but it’s really poor I don’t like it there at all. basically this implant was put in a good few years ago and is now causing me a bit of discomfort everything around it feels tight (I have always brushed etc so should be healthy). Is it possible for problems like this to arise and what can be done if I can get down? cheers

Hi is the All-On-Four treatment Ok when being used on the upper jaw?

May 11th, 2012
Q.

TO: MR OXLEY
Please could you help me with a problem I have had with my dentures. My dentist started doing dental implants for dentures fairly recently. I looked into this as a denture wearer and thought it an amazing idea as I’d had problem retaining my dentures. I opted to have an all on four treatment? this was for both jaws with full dentures. the top denture though seems to have come lose toward to back right hand side. I asked another dentist what could be done about it and got no answer really but he did say that he should have perhaps placed more implants in my top jaw in order to retain the denture better as this one was harder to do? that was a second opinion now I’m after a third and possibly decisive one. what do you think of the situation, should he have placed more or is four fine?if so what can i do it’s quite uncomfortable

I have broken a tooth and caused trauma to the neighboring tooth what’s the procedure for replacing them?

May 8th, 2012
Q.

hello, dear expert. I was wondering if I had a bridge how long it would take? I have a broken tooth which has apparently caused trauma to the neighboring tooth? it doesn’t even sound possible to me? however if I have to have these teeth pulled then I will obviously need to replace them. I’d assume the best way to do this would be with a bridge so I was wondering how long it would take from start to finish? if there’s another option beit; better, quicker, comfier or looks better could you also let me know please, thanks

I have suffered a catalogue of errors at the hands of my implant dentist and need to know how to put them right?

April 27th, 2012
Q.

Hello… 3 weeks ago i had a post and cap fitted to cover a tooth which had broken. This treatment was completed by my NHS dentist but cost me £295. I was still suffering pain so i returned to my dentist, she x-rayed the tooth and tells me that the post has perforated my gum as i have a bowed maxilla (she new about this prior to tretament)and i will require a specialist to put this right, as she is unable to complete the repair. I have been quoted £455 on top of the original £295 i have already paid. She has given me some antibiotics and is now suggesting that a bridge, at a similar cost to the repair, may be an option. I have 3 questions, which i hasten to add i have already posed to my dentist, however she is simply brushing them aside and steering me toward another practitioner within our practice for the repair treatment.. 1.Since this is treatment that has not gone according to plan through no fault of my own, should i have to pay for the repair? 2. could the bridge have been an option in the first place? and finally, 3. what health risks am i now facing with a perforated gum?

Can an implant for a missing tooth present gum disease problems?

April 24th, 2012
Q.

hi Doc. im looking at having an implant to replace a missing tooth but am quite skeptical If I have an implant will be more at risk from gum diseases and infections? does the gum grow around the implant like the implant fuses with the bone, beacause if no then in theory its an open wound? if the gum has healed down the outside of the implant then it would surely just present more surface are for bacteria to get in. the issue for me is that once its in i cant get at it in order to clean it because the crown is now in the way? can you see my issue with the concept? im just worried about having this single implant and for it to just give me more grief and lose more teeth in the long run?

I am receiving extensive care and restoration work on my teeth but am particularly concerned about having implants?

April 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi, im 22 years old and currently recieving extensive care and restoration for badly damaged teeth. I have had three teeth removed at hospital, all the rest, apart from the teeth at the front between the canines are being restored and have temporary fillings in place. I realise i need to complete this restoration work to a satisfactory and healthy level before undergoing cosmetic work, but i will definately be requireing this as my smile is destroyed. Although my dentist offers the latest cosmetic treatment, they are not very informative. I would consider any cosmetic proceedures to fill two gaps at the front and improve overall appearence (colour and slightly overlapping bottom front teeth) also, my teeth do not meet at the front when i close my jaws. Please could you advise me on proceedures/costs. The only treatment i am dubious about are implants as i am an extremely nervous patient and do not beleive i could cope during the process and have cost concerns. Also, would lumineers be an option once my restoration is complete or would the teeth likely be to weak/damaged (some filling are extremely large). I would really appreciate some straightforward advise, Many thanks for your time.

Is it possible for me to have dental implants to retain my dentures?

April 13th, 2012
Q.

Hello. Sandra Could you please help me out. I have had dentures for fifteen years now and had decided (as I’m not to far off needing a new pair now) to look into getting dental implants as I was a bit fed up with having to pass up the opportunity of a steak etc. I went to see my dentist to sort out the relevancies. He insisted I was better off not having them due to the fact a bone in the front of my chin had reduced to much- as a result of wearing dentures for this long. He seems like he cant be bothered which made me question whether he’s saying that for the sake of it. Is this possible to happen? thank you I’d really been looking forwards to this.

I’ve lost bone in my jaw. Would I be suitable for dental implants or would I need mini-implants?

April 13th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I am looking into getting implants, for two missing teeth at the front of my mouth, which i currently wear a bridge to hide. The bridge is quite old now and I think its on its last legs so i was just wondering about dental implant options. I have been told that i have a low level of bone in my jaw and i guess this would be a major factor when it comes to placing implants. Could you tell me the difference between implants and mini implants and which would be best for me? and also if there is anything i would need to do about my jaw. thanks and hope to hear from you soon
