What are the long term effects of a sinus lift?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

What type of long term effects can/should be expected with a sinus lift? I am looking at getting 6 implants in my top jaw (3 right side & 3 left) & was informed by my dentist today that I would have to have a sinus lift in order to accomplish this. I’m not worried about the surgury itself, but I am concerned if there are any long term affects to my sinus or possibly even tear ducts. I already have seasonal allergies and usually plenty of sinus pressure all year long.

My daughter needs specialist treatment, are you able to recommend anyone?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
Our 12 week old daughter was treated for tongue tie at Kings hospital last week (under her tongue), and we think she may also have a labial frenum under her top lip in at the front that is getting in the way of her flanging her top lip and latching on to breastfeed properly. However this is not treatable at Kings (nor anywhere on the NHS as I understand it). Also we are wondering if it is left untreated it may lead to her requiring orthodontic treatment later on. I have been told that if left this piece of skin gets thicker and is a bigger issue to remedy later on. Is this a surgery that you would recommend for this age? Is it a simple procedure? Can you give a guide as to cost? Thank you

Can you recommend a cosmetic clinic in London?

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Q.

Dear Sir,
I am looking for a specialist clinic in London to deal with my problem.
I have a repeated cyst on the root of one of my front tooth. In the past I already had over 4 operations on my front teeth to remove cysts that kept appearing. Thus there is not much root tissue left. I have crowns on all 4 front teeth.
Recently I’ve seen a dentist in my home country who advised me that to remove this new big cyst the whole tooth have to be removed together with the cyst. After that an implant has to be inserted and new crowns made. This will be a procedure in several stages.
I permanently live in London and want to get another advice and possible treatment here. My problem will involve a specialist surgeon and a good cosmetic dentist. It has to be in one clinic.
Can you please advise me where I can get help. I want the best possible treatment.
Many thanks

Q.

My Maxillofacial surgeon and Orthodontist are working towards me have surgery to resolve my open bite, whereby a part of my upper jaw bone is removed each side. I have had various tests to find the cause of this but have found nothing.

I am due to undergo surgery to fix my underbite, what are the risks?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr. Hughes.
I am 17 years old and have had braces for about a year now. In December (hopefully) I am due to undergo surgery to correct my underbite. They plan to put plates into my top jaw to widen it and therefore bring it in line with my lower jaw which is not being operated on. Although I am fairly confident about the surgery, I have seen some scary pictures statistics and possible risks over the internet which have worried me. Please could you tell me how bad the recovery process will be and what are the risks in the surgery? thank- you
