Are implants the answer to my daughter’s missing teeth?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

My daughter has loss her front 4 top permanent teeth when she was only eleven. Her top jaw bone has considerable reabsorption. Her oral surgeon is suggesting that he take bone from her bottom jaw bone to build up her jaw bone. He also suggest that placing two top front implants with another tooth anchored to each side of the implants instead of placing four implants. Do you think this is better then placing 4 implants?

Thanks for taking the time to read this

I have periodontists and want my teeth replaced, what would you recommend?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

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

What can I do about my horrible teeth?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Just a message as I am stuck with what to do and where to turn ..
I am 22 years old, and I can safely say that I highly doubt you’ve seen teeth as bad as mine, 97 year old’s probably have better teeth. As a result I have no confidence and avoid talking to people, I rarely smile and it gets me down on a daily basis.

Due to a sever phobia of dentists, I haven’t been to one since I was a young child, as a direct result my teeth have suffered. To add to this, through most of high school I suffered with bulimia. I have lost the majority of my back teeth, and have two very broken molars. I also have a gap between my two front teeth. I’ve never really looked into getting them fixed due to the high costs. I’m not sure where to go or what to do, but I do realise as I am only 22 that my mouth can only get worse, therefore I need to act. I’m just not sure how I’m going to cover the costs, some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

My crown has just fallen off, should I replace it with another crown or an implant?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Moore,
I had a crown put on one of my front teeth 6 years ago due to discolouration of the tooth after root canal treatment. Last few days, my tooth felt loose and I organised an emergency dentist appointment. After taking the crown off and looking at the xrays, there is a clear horizontal fracture line near where the tooth ‘stump’ meets the gum. The dentist strenghten the tooth with cement and put the crown back on as a temporary measure. She explained it might only last a couple of months before the tooth breaks completely. She offered me two options: a post crown or an implant. I was wondering which option do you think would be more appropriate in my situation? I am 24 years old and would like a long-lasting but safe option. I feel I would like to try the post crown first but was told that this might only last 10 years. Would having a post crown put in first make it more difficult to have an implant at a later stage?
Thank you

My brother lost two teeth in a car accident, could dental implants be the answer?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi Doctor Moore,

My brother was involved in a car crash 20 years ago which resulted in him losing his front two teeth and a titanium plate being inserted into the top palette of his mouth. Two front replacement teeth were drilled into the plate by the NHS at that time.

Twenty years later, he is very conscious that his teeth have moved and he now has a large gap between these front two teeth and the teeth on each side of these are crooked, discoloured and overlapping. His bottom teeth could do with some attention also. He does not smoke or have gum disease.

I keep encouraging him to get his teeth sorted but he’s concerned about a few things:
a) How painful or difficult would it be for him to have his teeth reconstructed under these circumstances?
b) The cost – could you give an indication of how much he would need to spend to correct all 4 teeth at the top of his mouth and correct a couple of crooked teeth at the bottom?
c) How long could he expect his teeth to last? He’s worried that, in his words, “once he starts messing”, he’ll have to continually fund replacement of any veneers or false teeth.

Thank you for answering my questions. I think it would transform his life if I could persuade him to take this step.

Kind regards

Is cosmetic bonding the best option for my teeth?

Monday, June 6th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr. Sunita Verma i just have a quick question about bonding. I am 15 years old and i just have gotten my canines replaced because i was missing my upper laterals, so they made my canines that replaced my laterals look like laterals but i still have my baby canines that have never fallen out and (they are my 3rd teeth from my centrals) and my dentist said eventually they will fall out. What would be my options if they do fall out? Also i have a minor gap in my two front teeth. What would be the cost to bond those together and make them longer? or what do you think is my best option with my situation? Thank you for your time and hopefully hear back with a response :)

10 days after surgery I can not see the implant post, what can I do?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi,
My husband has the surgical phase of a dental implant 10 days ago. Is it normal to see no evidence of the implant post in the gum? He is worried that he will need to have the gum cut again when the crown is fitted to expose the implant itself.
Also, he was due to have a further implant but apparently the nerve was too large for this to be carried out. Does this mean there is no chance for an implant there? We are struggling to get answers from the implant clinic.
Thanks very much

Sorry this is just padding as I’m getting a message box saying the question is too short… I’m just concise!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor,

I had a cycling accident several years ago and unfortunately lost 4 of my front teeth at the top. I have currently got a denture in place but wanted to be able to have something more natural looking, I have asked for a bridge as I was advised by the dentist this would be possible, I have recently moved dentists and my current Dentist states that this is not possible because I have for teeth missing, what is your opinion on this matter as a work colleague has a bridge and has his 4 teeth missing at the front also. kind regards and thank you very much for your time
