I Have Epilepsy And As The Result Of Grinding, I Have Broken My Back Teeth. Will The NHS Provide Me With Dental Implants?

Tuesday, October 7th, 2014
Q.

I am 32 years old and have had epilepsy all my life and as a result of continual grinding, I have broke and lost a lot of back teeth. I struggle to chew my food and the last time I was with my dentist I asked for dentures he said I could not get them as the many fits I have increase the change of me choking on them. My only option would be dental implants, but I have looked about and seen the price of them. I was shocked and many people I have asked say that the nhs will not pay for them. I need to know if this is true? Will the nhs pay for them?

It’s Too Painful To Wear My Partial Denture. What Would It Cost To Have My Remaining Teeth Removed And Replaced With Dental Implants?

Thursday, August 7th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. I have a big problem with my teeth, they hurt all the time. My dentist has X-rayed them and checked them and there is nothing wrong with them. He took the front top ones out and this relieved the pain for a while. I have a partial denture but I can’t wear it for longer than half an hour and I certainly can’t eat with it in. The few teeth I have left are now hurting again and I wondered what it would cost me to have them all removed and implants done, I am on disability benefits so I would need a payment plan, please can you help or advise me. Thank you.

Is It Possible For Me To Get Fixed Dentures? How Much Is This Likely To Cost?

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, I’d like your help. I have had top full dentures for many years now and feel I would benefit from fixed dentures. Is this possible and how much is it likely to cost? I would also like implants on my lower jaw as I cannot wear my bottom partial plate without difficulty. Is there anything out there you could recommend to help me with this? I really hope to hear from you soon. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide me with.

My Daughter Lost Some Teeth After Her Horse Hit Her In The Face. Can You Recommend A Good Implantologist?

Friday, January 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I’d like your advice. My daughter aged 32, has had an accident and has been hit in her mouth by her horse. Three front teeth have been knocked out leaving the roots. What can we do and who should she see to correct this for her? We live in the North West and we’re not sure what sort of dental treatment she will need or even who to contact. Should she have implants, veneers or crowns fitted? The cost is not a problem as we want her to have the best treatment. Any recommendation would be gratefully received. Thank you.

How Do I Go About Finding A Good Implantologist In My Area So I Can Get My Fracture Fixed?

Thursday, November 7th, 2013
Q.

February I had a root canal treatment on a lower right side molar (third from back without a wisdom tooth) and have today been told I have a fracture which means the only option is to remove the tooth.

The X-rays don’t show the fracture but I have had pain when biting and with cold air for a while so am not surprised by the result and I was warned it was a possibility.

My NHS dentist has suggested being referred for a dental implant after the extraction. Can you please advise how I go about finding a good surgeon in the North West as I read on one of your posts it is important to go to someone who will use quality implants? How do I know though? Also, I have been reading about material being inserted when a tooth is removed to encourage bone regeneration, so is it best to have the extraction and implant all done by the same private dentist or can I have the extraction done at the NHS one and think about the implant later?

Is It Possible To Cause Serious Nerve Damage With Dental Implants?

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013
Q.

Kings College London Dental college has warned that dental implants could damage the nerve with serious consequences. What is your opinion on the risk involved in this type of dentistry?

I have one tooth missing and am considering a dental implant however I wish to establish the amount of risk to the nerve in view of this report.

I also would like to have some idea of the cost involved in this kind of treatment. I have already have a full head X-ray by the dentist who extracted my tooth. She said I would not need bone augmentation or sinus lift to her knowledge but she advised me to seek a dentist practising in implants.

Thank you for any information you can supply.

I Have Dental Implants And My Bottom Denture Rocks Up And Down In My Mouth. Is This Normal?

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie. When you get dental implants I would like to know how well are they supposed to fit into your mouth? Do you know if they are they supposed to rock up and down inside your mouth? Or should they be lying flat down on to your gums? I have dental implants and my bottom denture rocks up and down in my mouth. I don’t think my dentist has got them right and it worries me to think I might do some permanent damage if I don’t get it fixed. I hope you can help me with this problem. Thank you in advance for any consideration.

Worried about dental implant treatment

Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Q.

I lost a lower front tooth a bit back after a root canal treatment went bad. I had a dental implant, I was told, to preserve the integrity of the adjacent teeth. A larger than usual implant was used, I was told, as perhaps I had kept the tooth in question for too long. The implant finally healed. The crown on it is suboptimal, really looks little like my natural teeth. I am now having the gum receed around the implant and on each of the adjacent teeth. A periodontist told me it’s just a difficult situation but there’s nothing to be done. The appearance is sort of third worldly. Feel as if I have been really mislead about the entire implant situation. Any advice? Thank you.

Should I replace my bridge with implants?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I have a failing bridge involving UR1,2 & 3. UR3 needs an extraction UrR1 a root canal. I have been advised by 2 dentists that I should have an implant on UR3 with a cantilever bridge to replace my missing 2, with a seperate crown on UR1( the Dr said a large implant here will easily hold 2 teeth.
Another clinic I visited recommended 2 implants on ur3 and 2. They wont do a cantilever bridge option they believe the physics/mechanics of it i.e forces of eating etc dont gaurantee it to last. I do have quite a heavy bite with some wear on my bottom teeth and this concerns me that it may cause too much pressure on cantilever option. Also would a larger than normal/necessary implant be needed to hold 2 teeth here? is it better to use 2 smaller ones to hold teeth separately. also I have a bridge on my left side involving same 3 teeth, would the two implants option make the other fitted bridge side look odd or not really an issue?. I really dont know what would be best, both clinics say their options would look better cosmetically. Help!!!
