What type of procedure is involved when placing a dental implant?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
My dentist suggested I have dentures for my back teeth as I am afraid I haven’t got any, I have all my front teeth. What I would like to ask is, how are inplants done, what is involved. I dont know wheather I could cope with a pallette for false teeth. I have made an appointment for August to have an impression for false teeth, but I think I prefer to have inplants, but I dont know whether I can afford them as I am now a pensioner.,

Will the root need to be removed regardless of the treatment I decide to have?

Monday, May 10th, 2010
Q.
I had an upper front tooth crown on a post which became loose so my dentist lengthened it. It became loose and on removing it the root fractured. He is now going to remove the root and put a denture in its place . This seemed a good option so my gum can heal to enable implant at later date, if I dont like the denture. [decided against the bridge as too evasive. My question is why does the root need removing. We dont remove them when we have a tooth extracted, and does the root need removing whichever treatment I decide.,
A.
The root is always removed whe… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 21 and from Norfolk. I have just been and had a consultation about an over bite i have believing that it was sticky out teeth, turns out that it is not my teeth but my lower jaw :-( he said that i would have to have surgery if i wanted it corrected and that braces just wouldnt do much at all. he said that my overbite was 11mm and that the surgery would involve moving my lower jaw forward and probably my upper jaw back slightly. I am sure he said that this is available on nhs. i am now wondering if i heard correctly does this sound correct? Thanks

I have particles getting stuck between two crowns, what can be done?

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr, I had two crowns put next to eachother on the lower jaw at the far back a year ago.While I was waiting with temporary ones they came out a few times and so I had to have them re-done and on the last occasion there were a couple of days with nothing on them. Ever since I always get meat trapped between the two crowns which can only be removed by flossing. This is awkward if I am out and so I have to have a vegetarian option or be careful to chew on one side only as it often feels uncomfortable with the meat stuck. My dentist says that nothing can be done and that he has the same problem. Is this correct? The original tooth was badly broken.

A.
If there is a gap between the … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
