Should I get a immediate implant or not?

August 30th, 2011
Q.

I have a TOP FRONT tooth that was broken off at the gum line 45 years ago. A post was put in at the time and a tooth hung on it. The root is now showing signs of trouble and it seems to be cracked. An oral surgeon and a general dentist recommend extraction and an implant. The dentist wants to do an immediate implant with a temporary tooth put on in the same visit. The surgeon recommends against immediate,claiming they are too risky and could result in bone loss. He suggests a normal implant with a temporary tooth attached to the adjoining teeth. What do you think? Remember, this is a front tooth.

A.
Thanks for the question.

How much would it cost for my son’s implants?

August 30th, 2011
Q.

My son has 3 missing teeth when he was 13( 2dead and 1 lost), he got told that when he turned 18 that he could have implants because then his jaw would be fully grown, however they said that as his jaw was damaged in the accident then he may need a bone transplant. He’s 18 in the next two months and we’ve started to look into it again, could you tell me the average cost and whether any cosmetic dentist could do this or would we need to go to the hospital? thanks a lot for your time

Is there an alternative to dentures for me?

August 24th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am 46yrs and have worn the same set of dentures for 12yrs which were put in straight after my orignal teeth were removed. I have never returned to a dentist due to a mixture of fear and embarrassment, but over the past 7months my lower gums have become very painful and have shrunk to the point hat they’ve almost disappeared, and the roof of my mouth feels raw due to them constantly rubbing . I have also lost a 2stone in weight as it is too painful to eat. My facial features have also changed due to these dentures, which has made me paranoid about how i look. Is there an alternative to dentures available on the nhs? I would rather carry on with this pain rather than have new dentures….Please Help Me

Should i get implants fitted after my baby teeth are removed?

August 24th, 2011
Q.

Hello there. I am nineteen years old and still have two baby teeth intact that are due to come out, however there isn’t any adult teeth behind them according to my dentist. meaning that i’d be left toothless when they come out and they would be visible gaps if i smile or even spoke. social nightmare for me that i would abslotely hate. Would it be possible to get implants fitted when they do fall out? or is the bone too weak after having years of baby teeth and no adult teeth there?
