Hi, I Have Two Dental Implants Which Are Crumbling And Need To Come Out. What Should I Do?
Q.
Dear Dr Shaffie. I hope you can help me. I currently have two dental implants on the back lower teeth which are crumbling and need to come out. I really do not want to go through implants again as they are costly and the bridge I was told that I would have to have to have needs something going behind my lower teeth in order to connect and hold the bridge in place. Is there anything else I could have as an alternative? I am nervous that the material of the bridge would bother me and I would feel it constantly. Can they make something like a small denture to snap on is there, is there such a thing? Thank you.

Hi, hello. It’s sounds like what you’re describing is a denture and not a bridge. Unfortunately without X-rays and seeing you in person I can’t advise you any much more. I don’t know why they can’t replace the implant with another one as it should be under guarantee. You can contact my clinic if you want a consultation. Regards, Dr Hussein Shaffie.
