Q. Hi, I recentley has a crown fall out my tooth next too the two main front teeth. The pole attached to the crown has brokem. I have been told there crown is no longer any good. I have be given the option of a bridge, false tooth or implant. How long would it take a dentist to apply a false tooth and is there anyhting that can be done for a temporary messure?

A. A temporary denture can be made in a matter of days, the bridge or the implant will take several months to be made and the final tooth fitted. You should be able to wear the denture during the healing period if you opt for an implant (usually the best sloution) in the long-term.

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

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

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

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

Lost 5 teeth due to accident and want it to be repaired.

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Q. Hi,Doc,I had was involved in a traffic accident 20 years ago and lost 5 teeth.At the time i went to the dental hospital in edinburgh and had scans to see if it was possible to get implants.I was told because I had lost some bone in my jaw du e to accident,that there wasn,t enough to affix implants to,,since then i believe it is now possible to graft bone and therefore have procedure done..My question is: Since this was done through having an accident, Is possible to have procedure done on NHS, At the present time I am on incapacity benifits and DLA.Also I am a former seafarer and wonder if the dreadnought society could accomodate this.

A. I’m sorry to hear of your problems but you are very unlikely to be able to have implants done on the nhs as this treatment isn’t available

Please help me in getting golden teeth.

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Q. Hello Doctor I have a existing upper denture with four mollars on the right side and three on the left and two front teeth,could I have the two front teeth changed to gold. Many thanks

A. In this situation – as long as the remaining teeth are healthy – I use crowns and precision attachments to hold a denture firmly in place. This produces a result that is very stable and removable. If you wish for a non-denture solution then implants are a possibility – you would probably require bone grafting to allow for there to be enough bone available for implant placement. Hope this helps

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Q. What kind of pain can i expect after implantof two teeth

A. Usually minimal discomfort that can be controlled by standard painkillers. This is normally necessary for only a few days- some people have minimal pain depending on their pain threshold.

My porcelain teeth has broken twice what could be the cause?

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Q. I have a dental implant on my front tooth. the porcelain tooth has broken twice, once biting on an apple and lastly biting on a provita cracker. the metal part of the implant did not move and x-rays show it’s still totally inplace (I had bone graft taken from hip 1 year prior to implant placement) My question is could it be due to poor quality porcelain? what else can cause it to break in half widthwise twice? should I avoid biting on any hardish food in future? I do not grind my teeth at night. There is no stress pressure apparent from biting down against lower teeth. It’s a bit of a mistery to my dentist too!

A. It may be a material issue but it is likely be due to a bite issue – especially in lateral movement

After my bridge broke I am considering implants please suggest.

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Q. I had a bridge spanning a gap of two front teeth attached to one canine and one incisor(think thats what its called middle front top) The bridge broke this week and broke the root of the front incisor and broke the post in half in the canine. My dentist says there is no option but to remove them and have a plate. As I have Sjogrens Syndrome, a dry mouth, I am looking for a different option if possible. I take 7.5mg of prednisolone daily for polymyalgia rheumatica and 150mg monthly of ibandronic acid for my bones to stop osteoporosis. Could I be a candidate for implants? Should implants be put in at extraction or do you wait till its healed? Obviously there is a gap where two have been extracted many years ago which would require implants as well. Advise please as extraction is pencilled in for Thursday next week

A. I would try to find a dentist who migt be able to offer you the cahnce of immediate implants, even if you turn out not to be a suitable candidate. In the long run you should still be able to have implants rather than a plate.If your in my area I would be quite happy to take a look for you. contact me on implant@advancedentalclinic.com

I would like to replace my dentures with implants is it possible?

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Q. Hi, I have full upper dentures, I have had them for years. I am 41, and would like to know if it is possible for me to consider dental implants? I seem to find conflicting advice on the Internet, and I am unsure if it is worth pursuing any further. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks

A. Hello , It will be possible to place implants but you may need the bone rebuilding prior to the implant placement if the teeth have been missing for a long time. The next thing to do is to find a dentist to assess you and to arrnage a CT scan to measure the exact amount of bone available for implants to decide what can be acheived. let me know if you’d like me to take a look- implant@advancedentalclinic.comregards Andrew

Need the cause and solution for my overbite issue?

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Q. Dear Experts, I have had 2 front teeth replaced by crowns and implants as a result of an accident. Unfortunately there are some discoloring at the top of the crowns where it meet the gumline which is unsightly. What can be done to rectify this? Also, it may sound silly, but it feels as if my teeth are too short and the bite is all wrong. My jaw and jaw muscles gets really sore when I close my mouth, trying to rest the top and bottom jaw on each other. So as a result, trying to compensate for the pain, I try and rest it on the front teeth. Unfortunately, then it creates an uncomfortable, clenching overbite. It is a very uncomfortable and painful situation and I would appreciate advice on how to correct this.

A. Firstly the crown may need replacing to correct the aesthetic problem. The bite problem is more complex and will need thorough investigation and teatment, perhaps involving a bite guard worn at night and the possible correction of the crowns.
