I had a tooth extracted can I wait one year before having an implant

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
Dear Sir, I had the extraction of a tooth following an abscess. The dentist who is providing me with the dental treatment is proposing a dental implant. I had the dental extraction in early March. Do you think I can wait one year before deciding to have the dental implant?

I have some movable teeth can I have fixed stable teeth

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
I have some very movable teeth and I want to know if there is anyway I could use the stable teeth (approx six) to have a bridge fitted or is it better to have them removed and replaced with a full denture as this will probably be inevitable in the future.

Mum has premature menopause and gum disease please help

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
My Mum has gone in to premature menopause and is now suffering from receding gum disease. She already has a bridge for 70% of her top teeth that she has lost. Apparently the actual jaw bone is rotting and there is nothing for the teeth to hang on to but the teeth themselves are healthy. The remainder of her top teeth are now becoming unstable and her dentist has advised her she will loose them soon and will have to have a denture. This terrifies my Mum who is only 47 years old. Can you advise us of any treatment options to slow her condition down or alternatives to a denture? Implants may not be an option due to the problem being her crumbling jaw bone. She already takes Co Q-10 and Grapeseed Oil to try and strengthen the gum tissue. I would be so very grateful for your help.

My dentist says that I do not have enough bone for a dental implant

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
I have just been informed by my dentist that I may not have enough bone for a dental implant. I’m 38, healthy and active. Should I seek a second opinion or request a CT scan. They have offered to slice the gum open to check for sure. It all sounds a bit vague really. I really want to have the implant as neither the denture or bridge option are satisfactory to me. My dentist has also mentioned a bone graft but suggests because you can see my gum when I smile this will not look very good. Also my bite is very close. Is this a factor in the potential success?
