My dentist said i cannot do implant or bridge because of my small teeth can u advice?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
6 months ago I lost a lower front tooth. My dentist gave me a temporary implant. I was told there was an infection on the root, so I was given antibiotics and yesterday had the root out and was given a hideous denture to wear that I am told I have to wear for up to one year (!!) He says he cannot do an implant or bridge because my teeth are too small – I certainly do not have small teeth – I have had a lot of work done over the years and no dentist has ever remarked on my ‘small’ teeth. I went back to my dentist’s surgery this morning to ask for help as I took the denture out to clean and cannot get it back in – it has cut into my gum and is pressing hard on my other teeth. I was told he was too busy so they made an appointment with another dentist in the practice. I went to the appointment sat waiting for one hour and was then told she refuses to see me as I am not her patient! (BAD PRACTICE!) That a dentist can leave a patient in this state is quite disgusting. My question is….Please could you tell me why I have to wait a year for an implant? My dentist has not explained properly and I do not understand. I am 44, consider myself fairly attractive, and have a big problem with wearing an awful denture (It hurts, does not fit properly and is very, very uncomfortable)

Is there any alternatives to a plate that covers the whole roof of my mouth

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I knocked my 2 front teeth out when i was 11 and a dentist filed them down and put teeth in that were on posts. I am now 38 and one of the roots cracked and have had it removed in the last couple of days.I now have a whole plate with 1 front tooth and a couple of back teeth(which never really botherd me that they were missing). The plate feels horrible is there any alternatives to a plate that covers the whole roof of my mouth. I have read about implants but they are out of the question due to the cost. Many thanks for any advice you can give.

How to fix a vertical indentation in my daughter’s gums above a missing tooth

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I have benn trying to get any answers I can on how to fix a vertical indentation in my daughter’s gums above a congenitilly missing tooth. She had braces removed a few weeks ago and the separating of the teeth left the indentation. I was told yesterday by a Periodontist that a bone graft and mini,temporary implant would take care if this until she is old enough to have a perminant implant put in. And that they can be done at the same time. Please tell me if you think this is a good idea. Or will I be causing her more problems when she is older. I already feel that if I had asked more guestions and/or had a second opinion before the 2nd phase of braces she may not have a noticable indentation in her gums right in the front of her mouth. Thank you for your help.

Did my dentist have the right to extract my teeth without giving me the right options?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I wonder if you could give me some advise please.I had a bridge that had bercome loose, when i visited my dentist he said that i could not have it re-cemented as the two teeth anchoring the bridge had worn away and the only solution was to extract the two teeth and then he would replace with a new bridge. I went ahead and had the teeth surgically removed. when i returned for him to check the stitches he informed me that i could not have a bridge as the gap was too large and the only option was to have dentures or costly implants. I now have nasty plastic dentures that are very uncomfortable i have a constant lisp and find them very diffiucult to eat with. Did he have the right to extract my teeth without giving me options? the extractd teeth were fine, i had no decay, they had just worn down to the gum so the bridge could not adhere. After some research i found out that i could have had them posted and crowned. he did not give me that option. On my return visits he keeps trying to convince me to have implants, i cannot afford to go dow that route (£6000) I feel he is purely profiteering.|I am so upset as they are my near front teeth and used to have a perfect smile. I am devastated and constantly have to cover my mouth if i laugh or smile. do i complain to him? do i have any rights? can you confirm that i could have had crowns? please can you advise. Thankyou.

How much does it cost for bone augmentation?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Q.
I had implants fitted to my lower jaw in 2007 and I am very happy with them. I am now looking at having work done on the top jaw. I lost all of my teeth when i was a teenage (now considerably older) and have been advised that i need bone augmentation prior to the implant surgery. I have been quoted £5000 for the bone augmentation alone, using bone from my hip. This is in the Manchester area and includes aneasthetist, surgical and hospital fees. Does this sound about the going rate or should i shop around.

Is it possible to have a temporary implant before having the permanent one?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Q.
I have asked your advise before and hope you don’t mind if I ask a few more questions? What do you think about the mini, temporary implant. My daughter is 13-14 in Nov. We were told today that she could have a mini done now with a bone graft to repair the indentation in her bone and gum above her missing tooth, and change it for a perminant implant when she is 18 or 19 depending on the growth xrays. They also said that the mini and the bone graft can be done on the same day. Is this O.K. to do or should we do the bone graft, then wait a few months to do the mini implant? Thanks so much for your help.

What are the options to fill teeth gap and how much do they cost?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi Justin I have just had emergency nhs dental treatment after breaking my insisor tooth which had to be extracted. The site was immediately alongside a previous extraction of an insisor near to the front right side of my mouth. I now have a sizeable gap which is seriously affecting my confidence as I now feel unable to smile properly and am having considerable trouble speaking properly as my tongue is protruding through the gap when i speak causing to lisp. I am on the nhs waiting list but don’t feel that i can wait forever to get this problem sorted. Please can you tell what my options are and approximate costs of getting the gap closed at a private dentist. I live in Pembrokeshire but would be prepared to travel if necessary. Thank you very much
