Is It Possible To Cause Serious Nerve Damage With Dental Implants?

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013
Q.

Kings College London Dental college has warned that dental implants could damage the nerve with serious consequences. What is your opinion on the risk involved in this type of dentistry?

I have one tooth missing and am considering a dental implant however I wish to establish the amount of risk to the nerve in view of this report.

I also would like to have some idea of the cost involved in this kind of treatment. I have already have a full head X-ray by the dentist who extracted my tooth. She said I would not need bone augmentation or sinus lift to her knowledge but she advised me to seek a dentist practising in implants.

Thank you for any information you can supply.

Could I get gum recontouring and teeth whitening done in one go?

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011
Q.

Hi I have had braces for two years and am about to get them removed. I have a ‘gummy smile’ though and I was just wondering if while wearing a retainer (obviously I could remove it during the surgery!) could I have gum contouring done? Also I would like to have my teeth whitened by laser. So could I have my teeth whitened and gum contouring done in the same surgery so I can be under general anasthetic? Thanks so much this will improve my confidence drastically!

My bone augmentation in preparation for dental implants has been a failure, what do you suggest I do next?

Monday, January 17th, 2011
Q.

I recently started treatment for 2 dental implants to replace 3 missing teeth, I had to have bone augmentation for which the dentist used an artifical bone replacement. This has failed and its now been suggested i have it redone using my own bone at an additional cost of £1400 taking the total cost to just under £6000. My only other option is a 6 teeth bridge which although is one third of the cost I am not sure is the best option, could you please give me your opiniont

Can you advise me on teeth loss due to periodontal disease?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Q.
I suffer from periodontal disease and have already last 2 teeth. I have bone loss as a result of the disease. My periodontist tells me that I could not have implants as I have lost too much bone and I worry that I have had too much bone loss for dentures to be a possible option. My periodontist tells me that they do not work very well for people with periodontal disease. Unfortunately this was not explained to me 20 years ago when I started treatment or I could have made the decision to have the effected teeth extracted then. My front teeth do not seem to be too badly effected, it is mainly my molars one of which is quite mobile. Can you offer me any advice, I am 52 and I feel that my face is aging prematurely because of this problem and I worry about being without teeth at what, these days, is a relatively young age.,
