As a result of gum disease, I have lost 2/3 of my jaw and my tooth move – what do you advise?

Thursday, January 13th, 2011
Q.

I experienced serious gum disease several years ago and lost a healthy tooth that was replaced by a successful implant. I have also lost a molar to a root canal that crumbled but I have not replaced this with and implant.

I also lost up to 2/3 of my jaw bone due to gum disease so although I have good strong teeth and immaculately clean gums (I’ve learned my lesson on good oral hygiene!) I have a lot of tooth movement – it changes my bite and I can get jaw ache from it.

I’d like to know if any kind of braces would be feasible or if there was a not too invasive way of getting my teeth to stay relatively still?

Thanks in advance.

The teeth on either side of my two front teeth and smaller than my other teeth and have a pointed look to them. My front teeth look much larger because of this embarrasing condition. Any ideas please

How much will two implants cost overall?

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
Q.

Hi,
Unfortunately, over the weekend I managed to knock out my two (top) front teeth. To further complicate matters I am currently working on a rotational basis on Sakhalin Island, Russia. I have seen a dentist here who has said that they can do implants but I would prefer to have them ‘installed’ in the UK, assuming that is what is required.
Can you give me an idea of the timescale that is required to have the implants installed? I am back in the UK between 13th – 25th October , I assume this is not enough time to have implants installed? If not, if I get the initial treatment conducted in October do you think I would be able to get the final implants ‘installed’ in late December when I return after my next rotation?
The dentist here has recommended a ‘plate’ in the mean time to help with my speech and for aesthetics reasons? Is there anything else I should be worried about? I have heard that issues can arise with the teeth left moving and that they should be kept apart to maintain room.
Can you give a rough estimate on cost (assuming there are no complications, i.e. bone grafts) for the installation of two implants?
Thanks for your time.

Can braces correct my ‘buck teeth’?

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
Q.

I have had braces before about 4 years ago. And wore my retainers for about a year then stopped. I have noticed my teeth have moved forward and look quite buck. Wondered if i did get braces would it make the teeth not look as buck?

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
Q.

Hi. I have a broken front upper tooth (chipped on both edges) also two crowns which are discoloured. I could probably do with a general clean. Would you be able to give me some kind of guide line to how much I might be looking to pay.
