Can I have implants to replace adjacent teeth?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q. My dentist tells me that I have to lose two adjacent teeth on the lowwer jaw right at the back (not wisdom teeth because they never came through). Can I have implants to replace these at a later date or should they be done at the same time as extraxtion?,
A. That is difficult for me to say. Your best option is to see an Implantologist as they will be able to tell you whether it is best to extract the teeth first and then put the implants in after the bone has healed and formed, or, whether they will be able to extract the teeth and put the implants straight in. There are many underlining factors involved that they should be able to explain to you.

Can damaged tooth be repaired?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q. Hi, I have a very badly damaged front tooth. On the top row, one of the teeth has a large section missing, exposing the gum. The back of the tooth is fine and healthy. An NHS dentist has seen it in the past but was not able to do anything about it. The tooth is getting weaker and it’s getting gradually harder and harder to eat even the softest foods. I know it’s my own fault but would really like to get it fixed and don’t know what options to look into. Many thanks for any help you can suggest. Kind regards,
A. If the bone support around a tooth has eroded there is often a limited number of choices often extraction is best and then replacement with bridges dentures or implants. if the tooth is well supported there are many choices. If you would like a free initial assesment at the StJohns Dental Practice in Birmingham please call Gurjit on 0121 643 0610 for details. As a private practice there are often more treatment choices available.Rob

How to repair a newly implant tooth when it seems wobbly?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009
Q. Dear Sir Please help me to advise how to repair a newly implant tooth when it seems wobbly. I had 2 implant teeth with a middle bridge. I would have thought that the reason for this is one of the implant is not deep enough. When i first had the implant, part of gum and 1/2 of my chin became num for a long time. Then the dentish had decided to lift the implant 3mm from the bottom of the jaw. Please help me to advise what i need to do. These have been done recently, just 3 weeks ago. I look forward to hearing from you. Much apreciated. Kind regards

A. There can be 2 causes for the looseness- either the bridge needs to be refixed or the implants are failing.  You need to ring your dentist ASAP to reduce the chances of the latter situation.

How much will dental implants cost for my front six teeths

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009
Q. How much will it cost the implant of the front six toths, but still have not take them out yet.

A. All depends on how many implants you need and the type of final restoration you require.  Also you may need bone grafting if bone is lacking.  The best thing to do would be to come an see me for a consultation to discuss this matter further

Could the dental implants be placed at the time the teeth is removed

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
Q. I am considering a complete lower jaw implant procedure that will involve removal of some remaining teeth. Would I have to wait for a healing period after extractions, or could the implants be placed at the time the teeth are removed.

A. If the bone is sound then place the plants at the same time if possible

Do you think dental implants would benefit me please advice

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
Q. Dear Mr Moore..I am a 42 year old woman who has always visited the dentist, and have alays had to have work done, i have not got very good teeth & have many out in the front and have bridge work also. The remainig teeth up top i dread wont last must longer due to stress… i am considering having dental implants (about seven) but i am a very nervous paient. Do you think they would benifit me & could you see any reason why i couldnt have them.What would be your advise when i research a dentist.. I look forward to your reply.Regards

A. Without seeing you I don’t really know how much 7 impalnts would make but in the majority of cases it would make a big diference. If you need implants try to find an experienced implant dentist perhaps one with Dip Imp Dent after his/her name or an MSc in implant dentistry. If your close to my clinic I would gladly take a look for you- Andrew

Ive a bone recession Is a sinus lift successful and painful?

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Q. I had a number of teeth removed wen I was 17,(unfortunately )mainly back lower right and left and 2 under left sinus.Obviously I have bone recession.Implants would be the way to go I presume for appearances.Is a sinus lift succesful,painful?.I have history nose fracture /septolplasty.How soon can one fly after it and swim.Is it expensive.I am 52 non smoker .

A. Sinus lifts are fairly routine and have a high success rate.  Pain after surgery depends on each individual case.  As with all surgery you should leave traveling a reasonable time after surgery – ayour surgeon will advise you depending on the type of surgery you have.

I also like to know, if i am full time student, will my implant cost less. Thanks for your help. Your faithfully

A. Hello Thanks for your message, a normal dental implant and completed final tooth will cost around £1900, unfortunatley because implants are not available on the NHS, there is no discounts for students. I do run a course for dentists where we can offer the treatment at a reduced rate. If you come in for a consultation I can see if you  ight be a suitable case.Regards  Andrew

How much would it cost for 7 Dental implants

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q. Doc how much cost of 7 tooth implant,or the cost per piece tooth implant,coz i have 7 tooth missing,thanks.

A. I charge per implant with crown from £1900.  Many times only 3 or 4 implants need to be placed to repl

ace missing teeth so it is not a simple multiple but rather each case needs to be priced individually

I have lost my front tooth is dental implant the right option

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q. Hi Rob I want a permanent solution to my smile. I had an overbite when I was a kid and to correct this I had porcelain crowns in my upper jaw. Since then I have lost my front two teeth which has now been replaced by a platics denture, which is annoying and affecting my eating. After lots of research I think my answer is a dental implant. I do smoke and also have HIV (but my health is good) Could you please advise what options would be avaiable to me. I would like to try and keep costs down and wondered what would be avaiable at what price. Kindest Regards 

A. The biggest question is whether you have a good volume of residual bone where you lost the teeth. Dental implants need to anchored in healthy bone. If you have lost a lot of bone you will need an additional bone graft procedure. Most implantologists would want you to quit smoking before starting treatment.Cost of a single tooth crown and implant £2500- 3000 including minor bone shaping but major bone grafts would be in addition and costed for the specific case.Regards Rob0121 643 0610 for further information.

I am assuming that my implants for full dentures causing neck pain.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q. I had mini implants for full dentures in August but have been experiencing severe pain in my neck head & ears for several weeks. Could this be caused by the implants?

A. It is unlikely it is coming form the implants but may be muscle spasm that could be due to how the dentures bite together.  Obviously please see your implant dentist asap

What ball park figure would be acceptable for having implant?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. I am 63, had five front teeth ( 4 incisors and one cuspid) removed between the age of 17 and 21. I have all my other teeth intact. I have never got used to a partial, and wondered if there was anything else I could try at my age and so long after removal. ie implants of some sort. I know that if there is not enough bone left it can theoretically be grafted from elsewhere, but realistically, do you think this is possible and what sort of ball park figure would I be looking at if it were?

A. This is possible but you will  need a CT scan to be properly assessed.  A ball park figure for this type of treatment would be !0k to 15K depending on how difficult the case is

Does health issues like high blood pressure and others have effect on dental surgery?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. Would having very high blood pressure mean implants were dangerous, what other health problems would be a problem

A. If you have high blood pressure it is likely that you are on medication which would need to be taken into consideration with any surgery.  Other health problems can be a potential problem such as diabetes, leukemia, Pagets disease etc and would also need to be properly asessed before treatment begins

I am sick of dentures can I have implants at my age?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. I am 58 and had all mt top teeth taken out on the advice of my dentist 30years ago. I dont think this would be the advice now as I only had a couple of bad teeth and two missing. my question is would I be able to have implants as I have tried dentures but they make me physically sick and I cannot wear them. thank you

A. Implants are definitely a possibility but you need to be assessed for available bone using a CT scanner and you may need bone grafts

Q. Hello, my mother who is 76 wants to have her front teeth made less prominent.she has been told by her dentist that dental in plants would help and also to have teeth whitening. I was woundering if porcelain cosmetic crownds would be just as good, also cheaper.

A. This may be the case if the teeth underneath are healthy and the gum health is good.  A diagnostic waxup to assess the position of teeth will be necessary before proceeding – hope this helps
