I have four missing teeth at the front, what are my replacement options?

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

I don’t want dentures on my top and bottom teeth, what are my options?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Have dentures on top. Lower teeth are killing me, gum trouble. Broken down teeth in back. A few missing. What are my options? Do not want dentures on bottom. Can barely stand the ones on top. On the bottom I have in the front, like 4 or 5 teeth. Then on both sides, some missing, then molars on both sides are broken down and in bad shape. Lots of pain. Isn’t there a way to adhere the denture so it will stay in? Or could it be possible for me to get a partial on the left and on the right, and then do something with the few teeth I have left in front?

I have just finished wearing braces, can I now get implants?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

hi i recently finished having braces and under the advice of my orthodontist went for closing my missing lateral incisors with canines instead of implants on the top teeth. however since then i have regretted my decision and didn’t want to reshape them as i didn’t think they’d look normal anyway. is it possible to re-open these spaces when i have the money as an adult (i also had two premolars extracted at the bottom for treatment, could i replace these or is there no point?). if i can could you tell me how long you think it might take? thanks

Can you have an implant years after the tooth has been removed?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

How long after the removal of a tooth can I have an implant? Is 20 years too long? At that time, I lost a tooth and had a bridge fitted. However, my back, upper tooth which was supporting the bridge, has broken and had to be removed. I could have it replaced with an implant and then have a new bridge fitted but I would prefer to have the implant where the original tooth was taken out. I would then just have a small gap at the very back of my mouth. My dentist is telling me that
a person can have an implant at any time but the dentist of a relative of mine told him that the implant had to be done within three months of losing the tooth. Which is correct?

Numerous health issues have lead to the deterioration of my teeth, what can I do?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello, I am 20 and completely depressed about the state of my teeth, I feel embarassed, paranoid and have to cover my face to laugh as Im so embarassed. My career means I am always working with the public which makes everything harder. I can barely even eat theyre that bad.
I have very bad gum disease and the gum is receeding at the back of my front teeth, I have already lost most of my back teeth on each side and am in constant discomfort.
I try my hardest cleaning my teeth 3 times a day and used cordysl mouthwash to try n rid myself of gum disease, but as I am diabetic it seems to never heal.
I have also had stomach problems for over a year, which makes me vomit which aalso leads to my teeth weakening.
I know Ill be told I need dentures which I could not live with ,or I could pay for dental implants which I could never afford, I feel like my illnesses have caused all of the problems with my teeth. I have been on a liquid diet for weeks as I can no longer eat most solid food, this also compromises my diabetes. What advice do you have for me?

A.
Unfortunately when you lose te… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Will I be eligible for implants on the NHS?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Mr Tennet

I would like 1 or 2 implants for the right side bottom very rear. I have never had the full compliment of teeth perhaps 2 short of any diagram I have seen.
I had the bottom very rear tooth extracted last week, there was a cap and the original base had split, the tooth infront has been missing for about 58 years, when I was a child I had mumps and toothache the dentist at the time with a doctor present took out a newly grown tooth.
From yourself I really would like an idea of the cost of an implant and if there is any National financial help ie disabled OAP that can be put toward the costs. I do attend a National Health dentist but the cost quoted is far beyond any expectation.
