My son was told that he could have dental implants to replace the 3 teeth, two dead and one lost, (which he damaged when he was 13) when he was fully grown at 18. Because his jaw also got damaged in this accident, he was told he would possibly need a bone transplant.
My question is, can a cosmetic dentist deal with this, or does this require hospital treatment? And how does this affect the overall cost?
Dear Dr Hughes
I have periodontists and my upper teeth are splayed and gappy, very long and I wanted them replaced. I am looking for a second opinion and do not know where to go.
My present dentist has told me I can have the upper teeth replaced in sections only, first four front teeth including work on one back molar. Yet all the upper teeth are quite bad to look at and the bone and gum have eroded away.
I am confused to why I can’t just have a fixed denture and can’t seem to get a direct straight forward answer, I just want to know what the options are.
I would like to find out from another dentist whether there are other options suitable for my teeth. I have to have this work done and the teeth and gum (although not the worst that I have seen having researched this) I have at present are not very nice looking so I find myself being quite ashamed to laugh or speak.
I have seen a few different options via researching implants and want to find out if fixed dentures are an option, whether I can take the molds and ct scans with me for a second consultation to a new CD (or is this not the done thing?), and if I can have the upper teeth all removed and replaced. I am so confused with regard of who to go to for a consultation. I have saved hard for this work to be done, the amount I was quoted keeps changing so I don’t really know where I stand. I just want some clear answers which are best suited to me as an individual. Can you advise? I’m 47. Thank you so much
Hello Doctor,
I HAVE 2 CROWNS AND I WANT TO HAVE 2 IMPLANTS HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE WITH TEETH IMPLANTS.
I have been in need of a root canal for about a year but cant afford it. Now I have a small, hard, sharp object coming out of the top of my mouth feels like a bone the size of a toothpick . I tried to pull it out with tweezers but it is connected to my palate. What is it?
Hi Andrew, I´m 24 and when I was younger (14 or so) I wore braces to correct my two top front teeth because they were really crooked. The braces have resulted in me having perfectly straight teeth, but ever since then, every so often, my teeth feel like they are moving, a slight click. A couple more years have passed and I admit I´ve been through emotional strain, but the teeth feel different in my mouth, like they have moved, and sometimes it feels like I can feel my heartbeat vibrate in them. They don’t feel wobbly as such, but I´m paranoid about losing one. What shall I do, what is causing all of this?
Thankyou
Hi – my daughter is 8 and her lateral incisors (upper) have not grown back after her baby teeth fell out. My dentist said she is still young so they may grow through however will not x ray her. No one in either families have this problem although my two lat incisors were short in comparison to the others and i now have veneers. Do you think hers will grow through or…???
I just wanna ask if it is possible to change my denture on my two front teeth to the dental bridges?
i have dentures in the upper jaw,and i need1 extraction 9 extraction on the lower jaw will i be able to have implants in both
