Q. Dear Dr Butt I am a 32 year old female having been diagnosed with acute periodontal disease. I have already lost 5 teeth and Guys hospital have given a poor diagnosis. I have severe bone loss and a denture top right has been recommended for now. I was devestated when told but now having got used to the info, I realize the out come is poor. My treatment is being paid for by HC2 certificate. Can you tell me about implants and bone grafts and the cost. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am in West London. I have everything going for me and this is a particularly grim time for me. Kind regards
A. hi,
this is quite complex as it depends on where the bone is deficient and how much is left .
the price can vary a great deal.
i can offer you a free consultation with an implantologist at one of our practices , or i can recommend avenue dental based in ealing who may be closer to you.

Q. Hi There, I’m 24, and I have receding gums on my bottom two front teeth. They have been like this since I was in primary school. I’m not sure why they are like but I did suffer from a poor diet when I was younger and was hospitalised due to sever dehydration. Anyway, I’ve noticed online a thing called gum grafting, but I’ve not really found much objective advice, mainly just adverts. Can you tell me is this a safe procedure, if it really does work, also could it make the problem worse? Thanks
A. Yes grafting does work, if the underlying bone is healthy. If you have only localised areas, oftne the lower incisor teeth or upper canines then it is particularly effective. If you would like to see our Periodontist who carries out this treatment at our clinic please call 01245 268 494

Q. I have a tooth which feels loose what can i do? i dont want to lose it?
A. You may have to lose it if there is no bone surrounding the tooth. Se your dentist to have the tooth Xrayed to assess the bone levels and to see if gum treatment is possible

Q. ive been wearing the same dentures for 40years im 59 i cant even speak correctly cause my mouth has changed so much i HATE TO HAVE TO TAKE THEM OUT because of surgical procedures can they screw the new dentures in?
A. If you have enough bone you can have at least 2 implants placed per jaw and new dentures made. Make sure you find a good dentist to do this. In my practice we treat alot of people like yourself and carry out large grafting procedures. You also need to make sure that the dentist that makes your new dentures is experienced as new dentures will feel very strange for you. Ask them if they will carry out an “Gothic arch tracing” for your new dentures as this will improve the size and fit of them. You can email me again if you need more advice.

Q. Hello, I am 62 years old and have had peridontal disease most of my adult life. I have two bridges and several jaw teeth missing. I have one infection after another, with abcesses, then they go down and I have mouth ulcers where the tissue was swollen. I’m sick and tired of it and considering dentures. My question is….I have so much bone lose and my gums have been bad for so long, is it possible to get good fitting dentures due to all the past problems? I also have MS and on a fixed income….and can’t pay an enormus amount. Thank you.
A. your’re right that the gum disease will usually reduce the support for dentures or implants. the decision to abandon your own teeth should not be taken lightly. I suggest that you get a couple of opinions before preceeding. the salvage of a few good teeth or implants in the right place can make a big difference. The implant option costs around 4000 for one jaw 6-8000 for both. stjohns dental in Birmingham offers a free initial opinion on the best choice in your situation. 01216430610 for details. Rob

Q. Hi Dr Moore, I lost about 10 teeth in my upper jaw when I was very young and have been using denture for many years.My dental surgeon informed that a bone grant will be needed for me to have implants to replace the missing teeth. Kindly advise if implants are able to restore the loss of facial height and lip support. Thank you
A. It is possible for implants to restore the lip support if the bone is sufficient. It sounds like you will need a bone graft to rebuild the bone lost over the years, prior to placing the implants. You need to see a dentist with experience in grafting and implants to have a ct scan and diagnostic preview constrcuted to work out what the final teeth will look like BEFORE you have the implants or bone graft placed.

Q. Hi, I would like to know how mach is it an implant tooth at the moment in UK? I need to fix my missing 5 teeth,and is there any new ways of quik and safe fix of implants and bone? how fast can I have my all teeth back in place?
A. It really depends on how much bone you have left in your jaw, you could ave 3 implants and secure 5 teeth off them. prices vary approx £1500-2000/implant and £500-1200 / new tooth.

Q. I had implants fitted 11 years ago, following a car accident (left fron teeth). I was 14. The implants are no longer level with my other teeth, and a recent x-ray shows the bone augmentation I had at the time of the implants needs re-doing. When I had the implants fitted I had to wear a denture for a year. Is it likely to be the same this time, or can the bone graft be done around my existing implants? Thanks
A. You may need some sort of temporary replacement, perhaps a bridge on the implants while the bone grafting is settling. I doubt you will need a denture although check with your implantologist first. Regards Andrew

Q. i have all my molars removed bottom jaw 25 yrs ago top removed recently what can I do to replace them
A. If you have enough bone present, you can possibly have dental implants placed into your jaw to house fixed teeth/crowns.
I need to make you aware though, that this can only be done if you have enough bone- and as it was 25 years ago since you had your teeth removed, you may need to have a bone grfat to bulk out your bone before hand
Alternatively, dentures are available that can be made in acrylic or even with a metal frame for extra stability.
Your regular dentist would be able to advise you better on what options you have.

Q. I had 2 caps done that I wasn’t really sure about the way they did it. That is, they joined the two teeth together, rather than making them individual caps. The first go around they were individual caps but alot of food was getting stuck in between and so they join them…I’m not sure I like that idea…two caps joined together, what do you think?
A.
Your teeth can be designed that way if your dentist was worried about the gums and bone around the roots of your teeth. I guess if you had a gap between the original ones this iks one way to solve that problem. I am sure if you speak to your dentist he/she will discuss the matter with you.

Q. Hi After having bone augumentation two weeks ago I am experiencing pain, (like throbbing pressure), headaches, inner ear problems (buzzy,blocked ear,but no pain) above the area where the proceedure took place. My dentist said that I should not be experiencing pain now and that it should be settling down. He has not offered to Xray the area again but did offer me a course of antibiotics. He was concerned that I should be feeling discomfort after all this time but did not offer any answers to my discomfort. What could be causing this? Many Thanks
A. Dear
Bone grafting is not my field – I would recommend you direct this question to one of the other experts who are implantologists or get a second opinion from your implantologist

Q. Please could you tell me what the longest period of time, before the next procedure is carried out, a bone graft and be left? And do they begin to deteriorate if left too long? Thank you very much for your time.
A. I tend to leave my bone grafts for 4-6 months before the implant is placed, the graft can shrink away if left un stimulated for too long. Once the implant is placed the graft will stay in place.

Q. Hi I had a root canal less than 2 years ago and the crown broke last week. I went to a different dentist as I had moved out of town. He ex-rayed my tooth and told me that I should have a bone graft and a dental implant. I was reading this site regarding implants and am wondering now if he could tell that I need a bone graft by my ex-ray. I have no pain because the original treatment was for a root canal. I am going to do the implant, however am wondering if he could assess the need for the bone graft prior to the surgery. Also, what is the down time normally associated with this procedure?
A. Your dentist might be able to tell you need a bone graft if the gum contour is poor or there is a chronic infection causing bone loss. there are 2 types of bone graft. A block graft taken from the lower jaw is perhaps best used for larger bone defects and will leave your mouth sore for 2 weeks. A bone graft using artificial bone, usually animal derived can be used for smaller defects but leaves less post-operative sweling and soreness.

Q. my bones are not so good so some of my teeth are a bit loose my biggest fear is to wake up and they have falling out my dentist who i visit every 3month told me i cant have a implant but wondered about veneers because i cant stand the thought of false teeth on a platethe very thought of it makes me feel sucidal please can you let me no of a sultion i am on nh and would like to find out costs
A. Implants can’t be done on the NHS. Veneers are a cosmetic solution to teeth with a poor appearance so they won’t help your loose teeh. You will probably need extensive gum treatments

Q. My front tooth keeps making a crackling noise like there are granules of sand in my gums or root of my tooth and I can’t see my tooth moving but it feels like it or gets air trapped in their or saliva, all I know is it is really bothering me. Is my tooth gonna fall out? Do I have bone loss or the start it?
A. Its difficult to tell without seeing you, ask your dentist to x-ray the tooth and to check the bone around the root in case there is an underlying problem.

Q. I just noticed that my mouth palate is hard and it outward, I am not sure how long I have had this but I did have braces about four years ago and I am worried. Does this have anything to do with braces or is it an abnormal bone growth? It does not hurt at all but a few months ago after noticing the problem, that part of my mouth was sore like when you get burned and it was hard for me to eat, I rinsed with peroxide and in a couple of days it was back to normal.
A. It sounds normal but ask your dentist to take a look

Q. I’m 1 31 year old female and (due to dental negligence) am likely to need my lower left second molar extracting. I’m wondering if it’s always possible to place an implant here – I’m prepared to have bone grafts and so on but I’m really worried that even with this treatment an implant might not be possible in this region. I’ll obviously have a consultation with a specialist in implant dentistry but, for now, could you let me know if an implant can usually be placed here (followig grafting etc). Many thanks.
A. Hi
Unfortuantely it is impossible to say if an implant would be possible without looking at the xrays. In some cases it is and in some cases it isnt. You have to evaluate the whole mouth before deciding if this is possible. I hope this helps.

Q. What is the material that is used for grafting? How long do I have to wait with the titaniume inplanted before the dentist know that it is fused well with the jow and the graftinf material? How does he know that it is ready and safe for the final procedure? Thank you very much in advance.
A. Hello, It is possible to use either your own bone taken from another site in the mouth or the biomaterial of your surgeons choice. He will be able to tell using x-rays and clinical experience when it is the right time to place the titanium implant
