Q. Hi, I have just returned from a visit to my dentist today. My appointment was for preparation for a crown on upper molar, second from back. This tooth had broken in half followng root canal treatment and filling 5 years ago. My current dentist put a temporary cover on it and we left it for six months to ensure that the seal hadn’t been breached. When he removed the temporary today he advised he would be unable to save the tooth as what was left of the tooth was partially below the gum-line rendering a crown that would not be viable. He suggested either a bridge, which he felt was not a good option due to the grinding down of the adjacent teeth and suggested an implant at a cost of £2,000. Having done some research on the internet some sites have said that crowns can be placed even if there is only a root left (that has had root canal treatment) and a post can be inserted into the root for the crown to be attached to. Can you advise if this is a possibility please? I look forward to your response. Many thanks.
A. the details are all important here. some teeth can be managed with crowns some are better extracted.
the size, shape and location of the residual tooth : filling are all important.
Before implants there were several common ways to solve the problems. But the fix might only last 5-10years, Implants can be more predictable in some cases. so tend to be increasing in popularity.

Q. Dr. andrew i am 18 yrs old and i lost my right front tooth at age 7 at a car accident.I need to implant a tooth , i visited a dentist once and he said that i would need to implant bone and gum. I wanted to know if you could tell me if he is right and if i am a good candidate for the one day implant if not how long will the WHOLE precedure last (weeks,monthes). thank you for your attention .
A. I can’t really tell you without a thorough assessment and x-ray whether you would be suitable for an immediately loaded implant or whther the bone needs rebuilding first. As a guess if the tooth was lost 11 years ago i would assume the bone needs rebuilding 1st then the implant placed at a later date. this type of treatment usually takes 6-9 months to complete

Q. I had a crown on my front incisor, next to big tooth, and the tooth broke at gum level. I have had a root filling and a post put in with a temporary crown. My dentist wants to do a crown lengthening procedure and fit a new crown. Is this the best solution and will it affect my being able to have an implant if there was a problem with the tooth in the future as I understand they remove some bone? Thanks
A. As long as there is enough bone left after the crown lengthening an implant will still be OK.

Q. I have a post crown which came loose, my dentist reseated it. He said that it maybe that the socket into which the post is inserted may have cracked, in which case he will have to replace the postcrown with a bridge. Is this the only possible alternative and what does it involve. I would appreciate your advice
A. It is often the only thing you can do when the root has cracked. You could also consider a dental implant as this wouldn’t mean drilling down the adjacent teeth which is often required for a bridge.

Q. I have a gap on my bottom jaw. The 2nd tooth never grew when I was growing up. My dentist says I could have a bridge but I am reluctant to have good teeth either side filed down. The gap is not very big but is annoying and the tooth from the upper jaw is growing downwards to fill the gap. Would an implant work? I had an implant for a bigger missing tooth on the uppper jaw which is great but this gap is smaller.
A. If the gap is less than 5mm wide then an implant will not be possible. It which case a bridge might be the best alternative

Q. Hi, I have had problems with mt teeth for many years after being on stroids as a child. In April I had my entire top set of teeth taken out in preparation for implants, I lost confidence in my dentist after many issues. The final straw was when after quoting verbaly that it would cost in the region of £8-10k, he then after extractions quoted 15k!! I have no real idea of the correct price and am getting quotes. I live in Derby and would like to find someone I can trust/within a reasonable travelling distance and at an honest price. Can you advise/support? Thanks for your time.
A. Hi
I am more that happy to see you for a consultation. If you would like to book one, please contact reception on 01509 23 11 44.

Q. I am about to start looking for a dentist to do some reconstructive work on my teeth. I am about to lose many teeth due to genetic periodontitis. I am willing to have some existing teeth pulled if it makes the procedure easier – I do not hold out much hope for most of them. My preferred option would be bridges secured by implants, if possible. Can you advise me of the options I may have and the cost implications of same.
A. Hello, thanks for your message, it sounds like implants would be your best option is you still have enough bone for them. You would need an assessment and a ct scan of the jaws to decide the best treatment. As a rule you may need to budget around £1500-2000 per missing tooth if implants are used. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look for you my clinic number is 01245 268 494

Q. I am a professional trumpeter with a protruding upper tooth which affects my playing. I am wondering if having it removed and a dental implant inserted would help. How long after initial consultation would you typically be doing the surgery? How long after surgery would I be able to play trumpet? How many appointments are normally required?
A. Because you are a professional musician the procedure would need careful planning . Same day implants are suitable in some cases, although the success rates are higher if there is a delay of 3 to 6 months before restoration. an initial consultation at the stjohns dental practice is free contact amy for details 01216430610

A. hi michelle, there are many practices including mine which offer payment plans interest free and low interest. the cost for fixed teeth per arch to replace a denture ranges from about £10000, to £15000. the best thing would be to book a free consultation think about how much you could afford monthly and we will discuss the right plan of action for your budget. hope this is helpful.

Q. I would like to know if it is possible to have a tooth implant fitted under the following circumstances: My permanent lateral incisors were removed when I was a child (roughly 6yrs old) before they could grow after an accident which fractured my jaw. I have had dentures, bridges and now have one crown fitted on one side and nothing on the other. I am now 37 yrs old.
A. hi many thanks for your email, the site that requires the implant needs to be assessed to check there is enough room both height, and width wise for the dental implant and that there is enough bone. hope this is helpful.

Q. I am interested in permanent fangs. I’ve heard of two options– one where you can have your teeth sanded down to a certain point, and have veneers placed over them, and they would be like that, permanent, for 15 or so years before they needed to be replaced. And then the more expensive sort– titanium rod implants where the actual bone is modified to give VERY permanent-no-changing-your-mind-later fangs. Is there any more infortmation on these? More specifically, I’d like to know about the former, because I am interested in having it done. Are these permanent to the point where they will not fall off even eating tough things such as steak? To sleep with the
m on, and have them until the 15 years or so is up? Can you give any more infortmation about these, and if you do them? For how much, if so, and every fifteen years, will I have to pay again? And in the event that I may want to switch over from these to the titanium rod fangs– could I? Thank you.
A. You would need to visit your dentist

Q. Hi, I had a brace as a child to correct two prominent front teeth. Which was done successfully, but over the years they have slowly returned to how they were. My question is would it be possible for these teeth to be replaced by implants, or is the only option the lengthy process of having another brace fitted?
A. The most likely option for you would be brace work – possibley invisalign that would be more socially acceptable

Q. Hi, I am a 49 year old male and i have lost all but 3 of my top teeth, and dont have that many left on the bottom, can you help me please?
A. The treatment for you will probably be a combination of dentures and implants. The best result would be a fixed bridge attached to implants but this depends on the amount of bone available for the implants and of course cost

Q. I have an overbite and i’m losing my 4 front teeth.I’m thinking of removing the teeth and getting partial acrylic dentures and wearing them for a year and then switching to the flexi partial or dental implants whichever will be easeier on my wallet.My question is should i get braces first and then worry about my teeth falling out later? The reason i ask is because another dentist recommended just that and thought it was odd but then again i’m not a dentist.I will appreciate your response in this matter cause i’m so confused and i need to decide which will be the most effective dental plan for me.Thank you so much.
A. If your remaining teeth would benefit form a better position and if your gum line will be improved for future implants for your 4 front teeth I would also recommend a brace. Hope that helps

Q. i had a fronr tooth capped due to absess some years ago i came out some time ago and a dentist said that the rest of the tooth has to come out i agree with this but i am terrified of dental work i want to have either an implant or a bridge inserted but the gum where this tooth was has receeded [where they cut my gum to remove the absess]please advise me of the best option i am 65 and suffer with copd
A.
Usually I would recommend an implant because the research shows that they last the longest. However you would need to be assessed for bone volume for the implant and have the aesthetics carefully assessed
