I lost my front tooth but the root is still intact, would the root have to be removed so I can receive a dental implant?

Q.

Hi

I have recently lost my front tooth, the root is still intact, I was wondering if I would have to remove the root to get a dental implant fitted, or is there a technique where you can use the root as a base.

Also, I would like to know about a smile remake over, I would like my other tooth contoured and the front few teeth looked at. What is the latest in contouring and imaging on teeth to get the best results

I have just had 4 teeth removed, how long do I have to wait to receive dental implants?

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012
Q.

how long do I have to wait after an exraction to have dental implants. I had four teeth removed about a month age and I would really like to have some implants as I can not cope with a denture. My tongue is now covered with small ulcers which I am using an appropriate mouth wash but I was told to keep the denture in place which is really uncomfortable. Most of my back teeth are now missing which means eating is a real problem for me. I was given a partial upper denture which I cannot wear because it makes me gag and a partial lower denture which is causing the ulcers on my tongue. I was told that I have to persevere with the dentures but I can not handle it. I am very aware of my teeth and am becoming very depressed over the lack of my back teeth. I have had 7 crowns put onto my front teeth but I have had a lower front tooth extraced hence the denture. Please can you help or give me advice what to do. I live in Aberdeen. Thank you

My dentist said I would have to pay an extra £1000 for a bone graft, is this correct?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hello, just a couple of quick questions as I didn’t ask my dentist. I have just had a bone graft as i am planning on receiving dental implants soon. Firstly,  can  I drink wine? My dentist said i can but I would like you to tell me what you think, it would be nice to have a second opinion because I am still unsure after reading a few things on the internet. He gave me a price for the dental implants and he told me that was for every thing. But as he was pulling my teeth, he told me that I needed a bone graft and  that it would be an extra  £1000 pounds. I just don’t think that seems right, what do you think? Thank you for any advice.

I don’t feel comfortable smiling because of my partial denture, are dental implants an option for me?

Monday, September 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hello, I have had to wear an upper denture (my 6 front teeth) since 17years old! The ‘so-called’ dentist was more like a butcher telling me it would improve my life and confidence so much! It has succeeded in me never having a ‘confident smile’ and being permanently self conscious! I dread meeting a ‘gentleman’ .I am an attractive women -very fit and healthy but since that day have been miserable! I am now 54 years old -a very fit and youthful 54 I may add. Is it too late to successfully get implants? it makes me weep! I have been a professional singer for over 20 yrs! I hate this! and I Feel miserable! Thank you in advance.

What do you think about going abroad to receive dental treatment?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hello,

I had a tooth extracted as I kept getting gum boils below it. The dentist advised best tratment is dental implant which would cost in the region of £2000. Second option to have bridge which will be anchored to tooth in front and tooth behind as the gap is so big. This will cost me £900. I am contemplating going abroad to have the treatment but not sure because my regular dentist may not want to provide after care should I require any further treatment. What is your advice on going abroad for treatment?

The brace I am using is not closing the gap in my upper teeth, would I be suitable for a dental implant instead?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi. I am 16 years old and i will be 17 in october. Dental implants have been suggested for me due to the fact that my braces are not closing the gap between my upper left teeth.I start work in september, so braces are not really an option for me anymore. How many millimetres does the gap have to be to qualify for a dental implant? How much is a consultation and can you get them on the NHS? What circumstances do you have to be under to qualify for dental implants on the NHS? Do you think I’d qualify for them? Thanks for your help! 🙂

I don’t want to travel to and from Budapest so can you fit my dental implants in London?

Thursday, August 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi there, I have had all my teeth extracted to get ready for implants, 4 upper and 4 lower. I am with vital Europe at moment but I require two more trips to Budapest. I saw your ad and wondered what the cost would be for same day teeth? I do not need a sinus lift and my gums are healing nicely. Having to go twice more to Budapest is kind of putting me off now, once for two days for insertion of implants and then I have to go back again in twelve more days to have the final clip bar system fitted.
Is this necessary or could you sort it out in London?
I have so far paid £ 2200 for extractions with £10k to pay for implants and teeth. Can you match this? I eagerly await your reply.
Many thanks.

What types of implants are available and are they suitable for me?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Q.

Hi, I have a few dental issues and don’t know what to do. Currently, 

I am missing 7 teeth in total: all 4 wisdom teeth, both upper first molars and the left permanent incisor. I required braces because of this for 2 years when I was 15. I was then told to wait till I was 18 or 19 for my jaw to stop growing before getting an implant to replace my left incisor. During this time the roots of the teeth either side have begun to move towards each other. I went to have an implant but was told there was not enough space for the implant. I would just like to know what options I have? Also what implants are available now and do you think they’d be suitable for me? Thanks for any help

One of my roots is exposed due to my recent implant placement, how can I protect it from further exposure?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Q.

hi, I don’t know who to talk to about this so my problem is that one of my roots of one of my teeth has been exposed partially as a result of a bit of an unfortunate incident with a dental implant placement (next to it). This happened in the upper jaw tooth number 4. How can i protect the root from further exposure? Would bonding or resin be suitable? what would be other methods to protect it? As it is a side effect of the surgery I would expect the dental surgeon to cover the cost so do not have to be very tight I would imagine It is just 3 mm long exposure but it does not look very nice and i had the implant done to improve my smile
