How quickly might you be able to do an implant to minimise the denture wearing?

Friday, April 30th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Moore, You have been reccomended to me by my colleague whos husband John Longdon has recently had treatment from you. I have a post crown with a root fracture. because of previous apisectomy ( i think thats how you spell it) I also have bone loss and the tooth is very very loose. I cannot have a bridge because the bone structure is too weak and I dont want to be with a permenant denture and wondered how quickly you might be able to do an implant to minimise the denture wearing? My dentist (now previous) wouldn’t help me with this just kept filling the back of the tooth until eventually it has become so loose that it is almost falling out! I have an appointment at Eastman’s tomorrow as they think that I may need the tooth surgically removed which I am obviously also not very pleased about. The whole thing is a nightmare and I am worried. I was wondering what your advice would be? Regards.,

Q.

Can you add a tooth to valplast partials?

Friday, April 23rd, 2010
Q.
Over the years I have been to numerous dentist, one drilled 2 screws into my gum to replace a crown with no novicaine, the other dropped an xray card down my throat with a dam over my mouth. I have valplast partials and was told that teeth cannot be added to it. It is an upper tooth that may need to be pulled. Can you add a tooth to valplast partials. Thank you,

Are they responsible for correcting my denture repair?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Q.
I recently broke my denture which replaces a front tooth I lost, I took it to my NHS Dentist who I appreciate gladly took a new imprint of my mouth and sent it off for repair under the free NHS Dental repair. However, when it returned and we tried it out it did not fit correctly and is noticably not in line with the surrounding teeth. She advised that nothing could be done as it had been repaired and the only option was for me to have a new denture made. At present I am unable to afford the £200 fee for a new denture and am therefore stuck with an ill fitting denture. I appreciate the repair service is free and am very appreciative of this but surely if the repair is not correct then they should be responsible for correcting the repair? Thanks.

What is your opinion on flexible dentures?

Monday, April 19th, 2010
Q.
Last December my bridge failed, since then I have had an acrylic denture to replace my upper left 1 and upper right 1,2, & 3. I find the denture uncomfortable and it moves around too much. After a consultation at the Bristol Dental hospital a new upper partial cobalt chrome denture was recommended which would also include upper right 6 &7 which have been missing now for some years. After looking on the internet to find out about this type of denture I also read about flexible dentures which appear to offer many advantages although one website said they did not always fit well and were not adjustable. What is your opinion of the flexible denture and which would you recommend?,
A.
It depends on the angle of the… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
