Hello Dr Moore. My wife has Nobel Biocare implants and it seems the top denture is removable and the bottom one in permanent. She has had them for seven years. They are getting loose and needs new screws to hold them in place. As it is there used to be a gap between the denture and the gum line, it is no longer there and it is causing her some discomfort. What would be the cost of component restorative portion? How long does the procedure take? Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me on this matter.

I have new dentures – 7 front teeth top bridge on a chrome platform – but they are painful, what can I do?
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011I have just picked up my new dentures. They are a 7 tooth front top bridge on a chrome platform. They look awful, dont fit and hurt me. I was told to go away and let them bed in for 3 to 4 days. After 4 hours I have raging toothache as I am sure the tooth to the side of the bridge is being pushed sideways and the chrome plate comes nowhere near the roof of my mouth. I cant eat, cant smile and cant talk. What am I to do, I am beside myself with worry.
How long will it take to get used to my new bridge?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 Hello Doc.
Last week I had some bridge work done to replace a 2-tooth lower plate, which I’ve lived with for over 20 years, but which was becoming irritating and ill-fitting. The bridge looks fantastic, but feels very unwelcome in my mouth and I’m starting to panic that I’ve made the wrong decision by having this work done. All I can feel in my mouth is this bridge; eating has become a depressing affair, since the bridge feels like its dominating my taste buds. Will this discomfort subside? How long should I wait before deciding to have the thing removed? Please help!
At least 3-6 months
I had surgery for the dis-impaction of my lower third molar. It’s five days later and I’ve still got problems. How long will this last?
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Dear Dr, I was surgically operated on for the dis-impaction of my lower third molar on tue the 17th Its day 5 after my surgery but I still feel pains without the help of a pain killer.I may also have to get a stronger pain killer cos I no longer get so much relief from Cataflam which I have been taking. Also what worries me is that my lips is still numb and feels swollen after 5 days of the surgeory,,this causes me so much discomfort.How long would this last for? I also have a sore on my lip,it hurts when I rinse with the warm water solution.can I apply zovirax cold sore cream on it?,

Is corrective surgery advisable for my large overbite?
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Hi, I was advised by my orthodontist to take up corrective surgery as I have a large overbite (upper jaw). I am 28 years old and wanted to know if the corrective surgery is advisable. I have heard from some people that the jaws are connected by strings/wires after the surgery. I have also heard that the mouth cannot open as wide as it naturally used to. If the jaw is connected again using screws and plates, are there any issued during the cold winters (cold metal plates causing discomfort)? Thank you for reading my question and I look forward to your reply.,
