Could the dental implants be placed at the time the teeth is removed

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
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

I am assuming that my implants for full dentures causing neck pain.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q. I had mini implants for full dentures in August but have been experiencing severe pain in my neck head & ears for several weeks. Could this be caused by the implants?

A. It is unlikely it is coming form the implants but may be muscle spasm that could be due to how the dentures bite together.  Obviously please see your implant dentist asap

What ball park figure would be acceptable for having implant?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. I am 63, had five front teeth ( 4 incisors and one cuspid) removed between the age of 17 and 21. I have all my other teeth intact. I have never got used to a partial, and wondered if there was anything else I could try at my age and so long after removal. ie implants of some sort. I know that if there is not enough bone left it can theoretically be grafted from elsewhere, but realistically, do you think this is possible and what sort of ball park figure would I be looking at if it were?

A. This is possible but you will  need a CT scan to be properly assessed.  A ball park figure for this type of treatment would be !0k to 15K depending on how difficult the case is

Does health issues like high blood pressure and others have effect on dental surgery?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. Would having very high blood pressure mean implants were dangerous, what other health problems would be a problem

A. If you have high blood pressure it is likely that you are on medication which would need to be taken into consideration with any surgery.  Other health problems can be a potential problem such as diabetes, leukemia, Pagets disease etc and would also need to be properly asessed before treatment begins

I am sick of dentures can I have implants at my age?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. I am 58 and had all mt top teeth taken out on the advice of my dentist 30years ago. I dont think this would be the advice now as I only had a couple of bad teeth and two missing. my question is would I be able to have implants as I have tried dentures but they make me physically sick and I cannot wear them. thank you

A. Implants are definitely a possibility but you need to be assessed for available bone using a CT scanner and you may need bone grafts

Should I consider implants over braces I have time issues?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. One of my front teeth is not aligned with the others because it was taken out a little bit late in my childhood years while removing the milk teeth. Now am 28 and I would like it aligned with the other teeth. Braces take a long time to realign teeth, thats why I wanted to choose a dental implant. What is the process of getting a dental implant and its advantages or disavantages over the other methods.

A. Braces can take as little as 8 weeks to realign your front teeth – far better than an implant

Can old age person have dental implants and teeth whitening?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q. Hello, my mother who is 76 wants to have her front teeth made less prominent.she has been told by her dentist that dental in plants would help and also to have teeth whitening. I was woundering if porcelain cosmetic crownds would be just as good, also cheaper.

A. This may be the case if the teeth underneath are healthy and the gum health is good.  A diagnostic waxup to assess the position of teeth will be necessary before proceeding – hope this helps

Q. Hello I recently had a bridge removed containing 2 molars and 1 pre molar it was a 3 bridge how long could I go without any teeth missing the teeth numbers are 17-19 I will eventually will recieve implants when I can afford it

A. The stability of your teeth and jawbone varys from person to person. It is best that the dentist responsible for the implants gets to review the stability from time to time. Interest free schemes are available in some practices.For details of  dental implant payments schemes that are interest free call Amy on 0121 643 0610.Rob

Can I have implants to the teeth taken out 25 years ago?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q. I am thinking about getting 2 dental implants at the upper rear left hand side of my mouth ,would there be a problem as the 2 teeth were extracted 25 years ago during pregnancy, all my remaining teeth are excellent,i have only i filling which was done during preg, as well 25 years ago. Thank you.

A. When teeth are extracted the jaw bone remodels , generally shrinking, and the airspaces (sinuses) beside the nose expand. There is great variation in this process so a clinical examination and probably Xrays +/_ a 3D jaw scan are needed.There is however no reason in principle why implants are not appropriate.Robcall 0121 643 0610 for details of our free initial consultations.

Its been years since I smiled due to my bad teeth can you help?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q. Hi, i have very bad teeth which includes a few missing(8 or 9)inc the two either side of my top two front teeth, is it possible to have bridges permanantly fitted to pins , also i would be interested in knowing the advantages and dissadvantages of having all my teeth removed. i know this sounds drastic but it has been many years since i smiled while showing my teeth

A. The best options are likely to be bridges , dentures supported by implants or your own teeth / gum. The only way to know which is best in your situation is to start with a clinical assesment with a dentist. StJohns Dental Practice offer a free initial assesment to decide the best route to investigate  call 0121 643 0610.rob

After root filling I have dark line on the gum please advise.

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
Q. 2 months ago I had my teeth all made into crowns. Where I have a couple of implants and a root filling, there is now a dark line at the gum line. I have told my dentist about it and he says I should brush my teeth and make them bleed. I got a firm toothbrush and have scrubbed these gums and they will not bleed and the dark is still there. Also one of the teeth above these implants and root filling is very sensitive to cold and sometimes if anything hard gets into it it hurts. Because I am 68 years of age and went to the dentist for my teeth to be straightened, a decision was made by the dentist that I was too old for my teeth to be successfully straightened and that it would take a long time, that is why I have a mouthful of crowns. Is there anything I can do to make this ddark line around these 3 teeth disappear?

A. You need to discuss this with your dentist – the implants are made out of titanium and can be difficult to mask if you have thin gums – gums can be thick or thin – this is called their biotype.

Best option to repair or restore bad gum?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q. My gums are very poor at the bottom of my mouth and have been pushed down by plaque etc ?? due to bad gum disease, I am in the process of rectifying this and also looking into implants for the teeth that it has effected. Is there anyway that the gums can then be repaired or restored so that theres not big gaps etc ??

A. Unfortunately horizontal bone loss can not be re-grown to allow you to have the black triangles filled in.  A restorative solution will be your best option
