there is not enough jawbone to do this proceedure without a sinus lift

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I am a male 54 years old and need 2 implants on top jaw but I have been told there is not enough jawbone to do this proceedure without a sinus lift . What are the percentage chances of a sinus lift being 100% successful? If there are liable to be complications what would they be and how severe would they be ?

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.

Still in pain after implants

Friday, March 27th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had the first stages of my tooth implant done on Friday afternoon and its now Monday. I have to go back in 3-4 months to have the last stages of this complete, which is the tooth implant fitted. Its my front right tooth on my lower jaw. My titanium screw went in ok and my dentist took a x-ray of it on his very expensive new digital gadget x-ray thing?? He has been doing implants for a long time and had been reserching it for 24 years or so and seems very specialized in tooth implants. I trust him and his work and he has been fantastic in explaining the procedure to me and covered all my options before I had the implant done. He was very happy with the x-ray and he sat me down to have a look at it afterwards, he showed me that the titanium implant was very central so as not to close to the teeth either side and that he was very pleased with it. He gave me a prescription of Amoxil (as I had a family meal and drinks planned for the weekend and wanted to be able to have a drink). I have been taking these all weekend following the directions of what I had been told, I have also been doing the bolied salt water solutions to keep the area clean. I am just a little concerned as I am still in quite allot of pain, I have a terrible ache in my lower jaw, the skin around the implant is very sore…….could this be due to the stitches being to tight?? I wanted to just ask if this is normal to still be in pain after 3 days? I have been taking Cuprofen (Ibuprofen 200mg)2 every 4 hours or so but I keep waking up in the early hours really wishing I could take more as the ache is very consistant. Last night I took 1 paracetomol, I had a quick look on the internet to see if it was safe to do so and most reviews said yes but not to make a habbit of it. I have never been into taking any paracetomol as hate relying on drugs but I am very sore and cant get on with my day at all. Would you kindly be able to advise me if this is normal in the healing process or should I be worried about any nerve damage or infection??? I dont have any numbness or tingling at all but just very sore! Again, its the nerve damage and infection I am really concerned about. I have to say my dentist didnt mention anything about the nerves and was very happy with my x-rays? Kind regards.

Teeth restoration

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
My teeth are in a very bad state due to past health problems. Most of my back teeth I know are beyond saving,but I think my bottom side and front still have relativly healthy roots, the same for my top side teeth. The front top are missing, I had a bridge for many years which I lost in an accident. I have not had a dentist for many years,as you know NHS dentists are difficult to find and I havent had the money for a private one. However i am now in a better financial position and an wondering if anything could be done to make my mouth look a little better. I realise that you cant give me any definite`answers based on the information I have given you and appreciate that any advice you may choose to give me will be of a very general kind. I would like to know though the kind of options that are open to me -if any- or if I would be better off having them removed. Obviousy I would prefer not to do this. although my financial situation gives me some leeway I am still far from well off. I am looking only for a rough general estimate of the costs involved.I understand that any information of this nature you give me will be very general and open to change if you actually treat me. They are in a very poor state,and I have no idea whatsoever how much treatment of this kind costs. Any advice you could give me would be greatfuly recieved.

can I have implants on the nhs

Monday, March 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi i recently had a baby who is now 10 months i know i am entitled to free nhs dental care which runs out in May 2009 my question is can i have implants for my missing incisor and what can be done for my creeping front teeth which i noticed recently and when i asked a dentist he said that this is usual as one gets older nothing can be done and in extreme cases the solution would be braces which is expensive and involves pulling out the back teeth i have also noticed my teeth starting to rot at a very fast pace what can i do ?
