Infection around the implant

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I have an implant of the 4 teeth at the upper front for the last 4 years, never had a problem until recently when I could feel something swelling at the back of the front teeth, it eventually burst and a lot of puss came out, I went to see my dentist and took an x ray and told me that I have a big infection near one of the implant, at present he is not sure what to do, he gave me antibiotics for one week and then I have to see him to decide what it could be the best procedure. Can you please advice me? options at present are: to remove the implant and replace it or to open up the implant and wash it off but before to take a scan in 3 dimention.

I fell and knocked my teeth out ive had infection and bone loss

Q.
When I was young I fell and knocked my 2 front teeth as a result I had an operation and the root of one of the teeth was removed. A few years later I has the tooth crowned and not long after I got an infection in the roof of my mouth. An x-ray showed that this infection was going right from the crown up into the palet of my mouth, the specialist told me I need ot have an operation to remove the infection but I have had bone removed during my first operation which I was not aware of and there is a 50/50 chance I could lose the tooth during or not longer after the operation. What would be my best option if I do lose the tooth? Would a dental implant be suitable? And whatever the necessary treatment can you give me an idea of the price I would be looking at?
