I have gum disease and my front tooth has been removed because it was loose

Monday, July 7th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have gum disease which is currently been treated, however one of my front teeth have to be extracted due to becoming loose , I have been advised to choose either a Maryland bridge or a denture as a temporary measure as I would like to go for an Implant. Please can you advise how long I would have to wait before I could o for an implant? also i read on the net about Strauman SLActive implants which reduce the overall healing time from 6mths to 1mth? is this true or just a gimmick. I would be grateful for your advice. Thank you

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

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
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?

I have lost a canine baby tooth which is hurting my confidence

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
I have recently lost a baby canine tooth ( the adult tooth remains unerrupted in my gum) and am finding wearing the temporary denture very uncomfortable. I have been told that a bridge is not possible as the tooth by the gap is fragile so need to explore other options. Would I be able to have an implant- what are the implications of the adult tooth still being there and approximately what cost ? This is having a real affect on my confidence so need to resolve it – any other suggestions would be gratefully received!
