I Have Two Loose Teeth. I Am Dubious About Implants. Would Bridge Work Be The Better Option?

Friday, November 8th, 2013
Q.

I have two loose teeth – one at the front top and one at the side top. Because the front one is unsightly and protruding forward my local NHS dentist has suggested having a bridge fitted. Because I have had gum disease in the past my gums have receded and I am dubious about having an implant therefore a bridge seems the obvious solution. I am wondering whether I should have them taken out before consulting you or leave them in for your assessment. I would also be interested in the cost for bridge work on both teeth if that’s possible.

Why Do I Keep Losing Teeth?

Friday, April 26th, 2013
Q.

After leaving my private dentist years ago i went back to nhs dentist in my area. Everything i visit i end up loosing a tooth x 2 now and i feel they are not carrying out the necessary work until it is too late, I’m fed up asking for them to complete all the work and have even pre booked 5 appointments. I’m sick to death now as mouth is starting to fall apart. I have lost two teeth and looks like a third is going to have come out.  I’m totally down in the dumps and this has taken away my confidence in a big way, even though the teeth aren’t front facing i feel awful and avoid smiling as i appear to have a gaping black hole when I smile .. its looks dreadful and considering i had such a lovely smile i feel my teeth are simply not looked after when visiting . Never do they polish or clean them. just seems to big issues like teeth removal or a cap etc.

what do I do ?

Should I get jaw surgery now or wait until i’m older?

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi. So I’m 15 years old and I have an underbite. I went through retainers ever since 8 but when I started losing teeth it became useless. All my docs and orthos told me to get surgery when I’m 16. Although I just came back from an ortho and he told me I should wait till I’m 21 to get the surgery because my jaw can still grow. I want to do it now but my ortho said if I do it now it’s possible it will grow back. So should I wait or should do it now?

Should I start Implant treatment?

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011
Q.

I have lost several back teeth (mostly crowns) and have been told that if I lose one more then I will need a plate or further treatment.

I was wondering if it is adviseable to start implant treatment now as I have read that it takes several months for the post into the bone to settle before a crown etc can be fitted?

Also is there a list of reputable dentists who deal with this treatment. Many thanks
