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

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:18:22 +0000

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.

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

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 06:33:35 +0000

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

admin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 06:31:22 +0000

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

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.

Q. Hello. I am 18 years old and i lost my front tooth during an accident at school. I would like to have implant. could you please tell me how much it will cost as i would like to know price before i decide to come for consultation. 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

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

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:20:30 +0000

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.
