Best solution to fix new bite?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.

A. Anything put into the lower jaw will help you to chew although a denture is very difficult to wear if there are only a few teeth to anchor it in place. You might want to consider a denture held in place with dental implants this maybe your best solution in the lower jaw in the long term

Relatively large front teeth needs treatment

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. i have two large front teeth and absolutely detest them. its giving me really low self esteem and i would really like to do something about them. What are my options and honestly how much will this kind of treatment cost? My two front teeth are longer than my “wedding finger nail” (short) just to give you a rough idea. im getting increasingly depressed about it what can i do?

A. The cost depends on what you have done. If they need veneers this will  normally cost from around £500 per tooth. If the teeth need removal then you could be looking at £500 for a small denture or £4000 for fixed implant supported crowns.

Have some incomplete dental work and need private dentist

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. Hi Dr Moore,I would like to ask you what I can do in my situation.I start a full mouths restauration last year,I already pay 10 .000 pounds .all the extraction been done,manage to have 6 implants on my upper jaw as well; still have four off mynteeths on upper jaw who need crowns,on my lower jaw just four teeths on the front.Now my circumstances change,I m on benefit I have a Hc2 certificate wich is not seems to help me much.I am stuck in the midle with a temporarty bridge wich is not even done properly because my dentist not pay any interes any more.My dentist even sugest to have the implants extracted and have ba denture instead wich I think is ridiculos.Anyway what I want to ask is if I have any chance to finish the work with a private dentist and pay the diference for the abutments for example.

A. I’m sure you would be able to find someone who will be happy to finish the work for you. It would be very useful for them to know the type and sizes of implants used so the correct components can be ordered. Unfortunatley none of this treatment is available on the NHS so your NC2 cert isn’t any use. Let me know if you’d like me to take a look Regards
Andrew

Have been told I would loose all my teeth

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Q. Good afternoon,I have just visited a dentist who says that I need root canal surgery,and prescribed antibiotics because of an abcess.I had an upper bridge 10 teeth fitted 5yrs ago, though not by him, and have been told that I am about to lose all of my teeth, plus the bridge. I am at my wits end. I will not contemplate dentures, and need advise on implants.Please help

A. Options for replacing mising teeth are
1. bridges
2. dentures
3. implants.

Implants are a great way of replacing missing teeth. My advice would be to see an experienced implant dentist to provide you options.

Glueing a replacement tooth to adjoining tooth an option?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Q. I have one missing front tooth & currently a single tooth denture that I am not happy with. I have been told I can have a replacement tooth glued to the adjoining tooth instead. I am told this is a successful procedure although not often used. What do you think?

A. It might work in the short term but an implant might be a better long term solution

What are the treatments for removing and replacing a tooth?

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. I have 2 front fang teeth at the front left and right my question is can they be removed and replace somehow

A. Thanks for your question, if it is the appearance of these teeth that you dislike, you may wish to consider veneers. This would not involve removing the teeth, but using a veneer would allow you to change the shape and aesthetic apperance of the tooth, to create a more uniform smile. Alternatively, if there are clinical reasons to warant loosing the teeth, you could have implants placed to fill the gaps. I hope this helps.
Kind regards

I would like to book an appointment with you but have few questions

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. Hi Dr Solanki. I am 39 and live in the Manchester area. I have been looking at your practice on the internet for some time now and like what i see. I know it is very difficult for you to give such advice without seeing me but i have just a few questions before i take the plunge if that’s ok. Without going into the reasons why my teeth are like they are (same story as everyone else) i am sure what remains of my top teeth need to be removed. If i book a consultation at your practice, what is the cost of this ? and what is included ? xrays ect ? I would like to go down the road of implants with a fixed bridge. Now, assuming my bone is sufficiant what is the likely cost, with everything included. I have saved a small deposit of around £3000 and obviously would need to finance the rest. I am in secure well payed employment. However my credit reference isnt the best with 2 blemishes on. Does your practice do finance and would i be likely to get it ? Sorry for going on and thanks for your time.

A. Thanks for your question, I offer a free inital consultation, to discuss your treatment options and to outline the associated prices. There would be fees associated with x-rays, but often this would be at a second appointment, when my patient has decided that they are happy to proceed. Although I am unable to give a definate price for this treatment, without a consultation, I would usually estimate around £10,000. We do have the facility to offer interest free credit for this treatment, over a period of up to two years, or interest bearing credit over a maximum of five years. I hope this information will be of assistance, however if you require any further guidance or would like to arrange a free initial consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kindest Regards

Should I consider having dental implant from a titanium rod?

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Q. Hi, i was wondering if a real tooth can be a replacement for a dental implant rather than titanium?

A. Thanks for your question, the titanium rod is placed into the jawbone but has a natural looking false tooth over the top of it. If you wish to avoid having the titanium rod placed, then you would need to have either a bridge (attached to either one of or both of the teeth either side of the gap) or a denture to fill the gap left by your missing tooth. I hope that this helps.
Kindest Regards

How does diabetics influence implant surgery?

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Q. Hello I am type 2 diabetic ( controlled at present with diet and excercise regime ) I have lost teeth to upper left 3no and 2no to lower right. I am considering implant replacements . Would my diabetes compromise implant surgery . Also if positive what type of implant system is the best ?

A. Uncontrolled Diabetes is a contraindication to surgery and does adversley affect the predictability of dental implants. care should be taken if you lost your teeth due to gum problems.
Most of the main systems have “Bioactive” sufaces like Osseospeed (ASTRAtech) SLA active (straumann) and Nobelbiocare, Biomet etc, I mainly use Astratech dental implants because it is proven to maintain the surrounding bone in later years.

With removable partial denture I am not able to speak or eat

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Q. I had a removable partial denture fitted 3 days ago. I can’t speak or eat with it and I’m sure the problem is because of the acrylic palate. Is it possible to have the palate removed? I have four teeth on the denture which are held in with two clasps and it is so hard to remove it. I haven’t put it in today, because its too difficult to get out again. Please advise. Many thanks

A. It sounds like it needs adjustment although the difficulty speaking is normal when a denture is first fitted. You might have to go back to your dentist next week for adjustments or consider an alternative such as a bridge or implants.

My diet problems has caused severe dental issues

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Q. Hi, I had a really bad diet throughout my youth years and now i’m in to my late 20’s it is catching up with me (I suffered a food disorder and now i have cured that over the last year and massively improved my diet i also suffered from regurgitation due to the poor diet and stomach acid coming back up has not helped the situation) I have lost 3 lower bottom teeth (on my left side) And have massive decay on the bottom 3 on the right (I think on my next visit i will have to have an extraction on one) What options do i have as i really need to rebuild the back teeth in my mouth or i fear further trouble in the future! Any help/advice will be of great benefit! Thank you for your time!

A. If you can save the teeth on the right you could try crowns. If not then you may need to consider either removable teeth- a denture, or fixed false teeth – dental implants.Implants are probably the best solution as fixed teeth tend to be easy to maintain and are generally more comfortable.

Is gum contouring done along with veneers treatment?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Q. I beleive I may need 1 or 2 implants to replace 2 vineers I already have. I would also like vineers on the other 6 front teeth to perfect this. I need some gum contouring on the right side as my gum shows to much when I smile. Could the gum contouring be done before or after the vineers/implants or would the contouring have to be done in conjunction with the vineers/implants? I am also considering going to Poland to save money rather than Harley st. Whats your professional opinion on this ?

A. The contouring is normally done at the same time as the veneers. You could also consider going to a dentist outside London rather than Harley Street that tends to be quite expensive rather than travel all the way to Poland

Is bridge treatment the answer for my jaw gap?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Q. I have a gap on my bottom jaw. The 2nd tooth never grew when I was growing up. My dentist says I could have a bridge but I am reluctant to have good teeth either side filed down. The gap is not very big but is annoying and the tooth from the upper jaw is growing downwards to fill the gap. Would an implant work? I had an implant for a bigger missing tooth on the uppper jaw which is great but this gap is smaller.

A. If the gap is less than 5mm wide then an implant will not be possible. It which case a bridge might be the best alternative

Braces have not corrected my teeth permanently

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Q. Hi, I had a brace as a child to correct two prominent front teeth. Which was done successfully, but over the years they have slowly returned to how they were. My question is would it be possible for these teeth to be replaced by implants, or is the only option the lengthy process of having another brace fitted?

A. The most likely option for you would be brace work – possibley invisalign that would be more socially acceptable

Confused over the best treatment for my teeth

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Q. I have an overbite and i’m losing my 4 front teeth.I’m thinking of removing the teeth and getting partial acrylic dentures and wearing them for a year and then switching to the flexi partial or dental implants whichever will be easeier on my wallet.My question is should i get braces first and then worry about my teeth falling out later? The reason i ask is because another dentist recommended just that and thought it was odd but then again i’m not a dentist.I will appreciate your response in this matter cause i’m so confused and i need to decide which will be the most effective dental plan for me.Thank you so much.

A. If your remaining teeth would benefit form a better position and if your gum line will be improved for future implants for your 4 front teeth I would also recommend a brace.  Hope that helps

I need to fix the shaky front tooth

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Q. i seem to have a habbit of pushing my front teeth with my tongue and then pushing them back again and now, i find myself doing it all day without realizing it and now i think one of my front teeth are shaky, it seems to move a bit more now, out of place when i push it and instead of stopping, i do it alot more now to see if it really is shaky or not. im terrified as im only 21. what can i do if they fall out? i also grind my back teeth in my sleep and during the day which is a new thing during the day. what are dental implants? are they screw ins? if my teeth come out could i get them on nhs? in the morning i feel as though if i just push my teeth theyl pop out so i try to avoid doing that 1st thing in the morning. im terrified on dental jags so cant go to dentist, i would go if i could get put to sleep tho, please help

A. Start by forcing yourself to visit 3 different practices that seem friendly to anxious patients.  You can be adamant that you only want an opinion not treatment. ( check prices for assesment before you go )
One of them will feel better and more in tune with you. Then start with some simple treatment to boost your confidence.
