Ive a deep and wide gum recession is it possible for me to get implants

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Moore I have been told that I have Miller’s class 4 gum recession on two front teeth and consequently cannot have a gum graft to achieve any root coverage. Is this true? Secondly: With such deep and wide recession would the eventual need for implants be jeopardised i.e. with such a level of recession would it be a problem to fit implants if I lost the teeth in question?Many thanks.

My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months can I get I sooner?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have had alot of problems with one of my front (at the side a bit) teeth. I have had root canel on it, then it cracked it two. I had the back bit removed and then the filling fell out the rest so the dentist decided to take it out. I got it taken out 4 days ago and had a plate put it immediately due to its location. I have been in pain since….and it doesnt seem to be relenting. I am finding the plate very uncomfortable and struggle to eat!! in fact i know its only been 4 days but i hate the plate, i dont like the poligrip very much but forcing myself to put it on!! but i feel really like i want to gag all the time, its really sore at my tooth, itchy at the top of my mouth and im constantly thirsty! My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months time, I was just wondering if there is any reason I have to wait this long? Can i ask for it sooner as I really dont think i can last 6 months with the plate! Also do you have any advice for the plate situation now….I dont want to go back to my dentist as along with all this ive been in and out with wisdom teeth extractions (where my face balloned) and feel that im always there! but toothache is so bad!
