Q. Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.
A. Anything put into the lower jaw will help you to chew although a denture is very difficult to wear if there are only a few teeth to anchor it in place. You might want to consider a denture held in place with dental implants this maybe your best solution in the lower jaw in the long term

Q. I have a lot of problems going on in my mouth. First off I have a gap becaue I am missing my two teeth on either side next to my canine. My canine’s have moved in the place where those two teeth should have been. Apperently I was not born with them. Near my canine tooth is my old baby canine tooth that never fell whch is loose on the left side. Then on my bottom right I had a tooth removed because it was cracked. What is your advice to fix my teeth?
A. A combination of veneers and implants works well for this type of treatment. If you would like me to take a look for you please call the practice on 01245 268 494

Q. i have two large front teeth and absolutely detest them. its giving me really low self esteem and i would really like to do something about them. What are my options and honestly how much will this kind of treatment cost? My two front teeth are longer than my “wedding finger nail” (short) just to give you a rough idea. im getting increasingly depressed about it what can i do?
A. The cost depends on what you have done. If they need veneers this will normally cost from around £500 per tooth. If the teeth need removal then you could be looking at £500 for a small denture or £4000 for fixed implant supported crowns.

Q. Hi Dr Moore,I would like to ask you what I can do in my situation.I start a full mouths restauration last year,I already pay 10 .000 pounds .all the extraction been done,manage to have 6 implants on my upper jaw as well; still have four off mynteeths on upper jaw who need crowns,on my lower jaw just four teeths on the front.Now my circumstances change,I m on benefit I have a Hc2 certificate wich is not seems to help me much.I am stuck in the midle with a temporarty bridge wich is not even done properly because my dentist not pay any interes any more.My dentist even sugest to have the implants extracted and have ba denture instead wich I think is ridiculos.Anyway what I want to ask is if I have any chance to finish the work with a private dentist and pay the diference for the abutments for example.
A. I’m sure you would be able to find someone who will be happy to finish the work for you. It would be very useful for them to know the type and sizes of implants used so the correct components can be ordered. Unfortunatley none of this treatment is available on the NHS so your NC2 cert isn’t any use. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look Regards
Andrew

Q. Good afternoon,I have just visited a dentist who says that I need root canal surgery,and prescribed antibiotics because of an abcess.I had an upper bridge 10 teeth fitted 5yrs ago, though not by him, and have been told that I am about to lose all of my teeth, plus the bridge. I am at my wits end. I will not contemplate dentures, and need advise on implants.Please help
A. Options for replacing mising teeth are
1. bridges
2. dentures
3. implants.
Implants are a great way of replacing missing teeth. My advice would be to see an experienced implant dentist to provide you options.

Q. dear dr moore i am hopeing to have some implants but i have a extreme fear of dentists so i have been trying to find one who will give a general anesthesia i have found two clinics which say they do and wene you phone them they talk you out of it and say they wont do it and its there in black and white. so could you help me or do you know of any one. hpoe you dont mind me asking you this.
A. Hello, It will be very dificult to find someone to do this for you but you could try Ashok Sethi in Harley Street as he has access to Hospital services at a nearby medical centre. You could also try sedation which is cheaper safer and more readliy available

Q. I have bone loss, non smoker all my life and no medical conditions. I am awaiting 3 top front teeth extrations (have been waiting 2 years), one hanging on by a small thread! hopefully I will be measured for a small plate. Taking daily pain relief and limited in what I can eat and very embarassing talking to patients myself as, I have a fractured tooth and it has dropped. Am I able to have implants if I have bone loss? was offered by dental hospital to have teeth splinted, but was told not a pretty sight, what do you think? Kind Regards
A. It sounds like implants might be the best option although you’ll need x-rays and an assessment to decide if you’ll a suitable candidate. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look.

Q. I have one missing front tooth & currently a single tooth denture that I am not happy with. I have been told I can have a replacement tooth glued to the adjoining tooth instead. I am told this is a successful procedure although not often used. What do you think?
A. It might work in the short term but an implant might be a better long term solution

Q. I have 2 front fang teeth at the front left and right my question is can they be removed and replace somehow
A. Thanks for your question, if it is the appearance of these teeth that you dislike, you may wish to consider veneers. This would not involve removing the teeth, but using a veneer would allow you to change the shape and aesthetic apperance of the tooth, to create a more uniform smile. Alternatively, if there are clinical reasons to warant loosing the teeth, you could have implants placed to fill the gaps. I hope this helps.

Q. Hi Dr Solanki. I am 39 and live in the Manchester area. I have been looking at your practice on the internet for some time now and like what i see. I know it is very difficult for you to give such advice without seeing me but i have just a few questions before i take the plunge if that’s ok. Without going into the reasons why my teeth are like they are (same story as everyone else) i am sure what remains of my top teeth need to be removed. If i book a consultation at your practice, what is the cost of this ? and what is included ? xrays ect ? I would like to go down the road of implants with a fixed bridge. Now, assuming my bone is sufficiant what is the likely cost, with everything included. I have saved a small deposit of around £3000 and obviously would need to finance the rest. I am in secure well payed employment. However my credit reference isnt the best with 2 blemishes on. Does your practice do finance and would i be likely to get it ? Sorry for going on and thanks for your time.
A. Thanks for your question, I offer a free inital consultation, to discuss your treatment options and to outline the associated prices. There would be fees associated with x-rays, but often this would be at a second appointment, when my patient has decided that they are happy to proceed. Although I am unable to give a definate price for this treatment, without a consultation, I would usually estimate around £10,000. We do have the facility to offer interest free credit for this treatment, over a period of up to two years, or interest bearing credit over a maximum of five years. I hope this information will be of assistance, however if you require any further guidance or would like to arrange a free initial consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kindest Regards

Q. Hi, i was wondering if a real tooth can be a replacement for a dental implant rather than titanium?
A. Thanks for your question, the titanium rod is placed into the jawbone but has a natural looking false tooth over the top of it. If you wish to avoid having the titanium rod placed, then you would need to have either a bridge (attached to either one of or both of the teeth either side of the gap) or a denture to fill the gap left by your missing tooth. I hope that this helps.
Kindest Regards

Q. I have an abnormal physcological fear of dentists which is a result of a face slap by a dentist when I was a child (he pushed a sore tooth with his finger and I bit his finger) The last time I visited a dentist was 1972 they pumped me full of “happy gas” to try and get me to relax, I burned it up quicker than they could pump it in. When I get hurt I become violent, subsequently I have to be put under with a general anesthetic. My teeth need to be sorted out and some implants out in for ones that are missing and others that will have to be removed, but feel it would have to be done under proper hospital op conditions Is this possible please.
A. Hi, there are other options, certainly you might be able to have treatment under general anaesthetic at a hospital. In my clinic we treat so many nervous patients who have had similar problems to you. You need to find a dentist you can trust. in my practice we use IV sedation but we also use a medical anaesthist you can combine a number of drugs to relax you. I find this works very well.

Q. Hello I am type 2 diabetic ( controlled at present with diet and excercise regime ) I have lost teeth to upper left 3no and 2no to lower right. I am considering implant replacements . Would my diabetes compromise implant surgery . Also if positive what type of implant system is the best ?
A. Uncontrolled Diabetes is a contraindication to surgery and does adversley affect the predictability of dental implants. care should be taken if you lost your teeth due to gum problems.
Most of the main systems have “Bioactive” sufaces like Osseospeed (ASTRAtech) SLA active (straumann) and Nobelbiocare, Biomet etc, I mainly use Astratech dental implants because it is proven to maintain the surrounding bone in later years.

Q. I had a removable partial denture fitted 3 days ago. I can’t speak or eat with it and I’m sure the problem is because of the acrylic palate. Is it possible to have the palate removed? I have four teeth on the denture which are held in with two clasps and it is so hard to remove it. I haven’t put it in today, because its too difficult to get out again. Please advise. Many thanks
A. It sounds like it needs adjustment although the difficulty speaking is normal when a denture is first fitted. You might have to go back to your dentist next week for adjustments or consider an alternative such as a bridge or implants.

Q. Hi, I had a really bad diet throughout my youth years and now i’m in to my late 20’s it is catching up with me (I suffered a food disorder and now i have cured that over the last year and massively improved my diet i also suffered from regurgitation due to the poor diet and stomach acid coming back up has not helped the situation) I have lost 3 lower bottom teeth (on my left side) And have massive decay on the bottom 3 on the right (I think on my next visit i will have to have an extraction on one) What options do i have as i really need to rebuild the back teeth in my mouth or i fear further trouble in the future! Any help/advice will be of great benefit! Thank you for your time!
A. If you can save the teeth on the right you could try crowns. If not then you may need to consider either removable teeth- a denture, or fixed false teeth – dental implants.Implants are probably the best solution as fixed teeth tend to be easy to maintain and are generally more comfortable.

Q. In early March this year, finally my “baby tooth” cut through – in the roof of my mouth, just behind my eye/front tooth at a pointing outward angle. Nothing special really, except that I’m 43 years old. I needed dental surgery, as it was pushing my front tooth forward and making loose my 3 tooth bridge. I had the surgery at Guy’s Hosipital under the care of a lovely team. It was pretty drastic I must admitt, drilling through the front of my upper gum line to the left of eye tooth and incision/hole drilled in the roof of my mouth to extract said tooth. Nine months later however, I’m left with a widening gap of the eye/front tooth and my 3 tooth bridge is loose, and lower than my gum line. My whole gum line has changed above the bridge so that now you can actully see the metal structure of the bridge itself. The bridge used to fit snug and I never had a gap either at the top of this structure or as is now a gap between my front and eye tooth. I don’t think my upper jaw bone structure would support implants following my surgery. What would you suggest? At this point I am seriously considering a denture of some form, one that does not involve invasive surgery, but then what about the gap between front tooth and eye tooth?
A. Hi it sound like you’ve been through a lot so a denture would seem like an easy option. It might be a good short term option however I guess in the long run you would probably be more comfortable with fixed teeth. This could probably be acheived using an implant supported bridge although it sounds like the bone would need rebuilding firts. Perhaps you could go back to Guys and ask them for their opinion as they have very experienced surgeons who might be able to help you.
