I want implants to replace my 5 missing teeth. Can this be done?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Can you have an implant years after the tooth has been removed?
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Q.
How long after the removal of a tooth can I have an implant? Is 20 years too long? At that time, I lost a tooth and had a bridge fitted. However, my back, upper tooth which was supporting the bridge, has broken and had to be removed. I could have it replaced with an implant and then have a new bridge fitted but I would prefer to have the implant where the original tooth was taken out. I would then just have a small gap at the very back of my mouth. My dentist is telling me that
a person can have an implant at any time but the dentist of a relative of mine told him that the implant had to be done within three months of losing the tooth. Which is correct?

Are there any options to replace a Maryland Bridge without metal wings?
Friday, April 15th, 2011Q.
My daughter is 17 and has a Maryland bridge on her front tooth. Its not the one with the metal wings and its keeps comming off every other week. The oral surgeon said that he wouldnt do an implant because of the nerve that is in the way. The dentist said she needed to try a maryland bridge with the metal wings. He didn’t want to put a fixed bridge in right now. Is it any other options out there?
I have air pockets around my roots and teeth need replacing, can you help?
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011Q.
Hello,
I am 42 yrs old & have the worst teeth in the world !! !I live in Leeds West Yorkshire
I worked in horse racing when I was younger & had many falls, kicks to the face & horses heads smashing into mine..a number of occasions I know my teeth suffered terribly, I believe the front teeth top & bottom on many occasions were shunted & may have over time made air pockets round the roots. But I have to say that is no excuse. I have since the age of 9/10 yrs had a phobia of brushing !! Its hard to explain, I have tried hypnotherapy but I just can not brush, floss & gargle …. My mouth hygiene is none existant !! I tried for months seeing a hygienist weekly, but I came to the point where I no longer could afford the regular treatment. Plus it was a losing battle…I have 10-12mmm airpockets & all my teeth are very loose I have even lost one now on the bottom front row. I did have lovely teeth & smile when I was younger, my mouth was over crowded & had 4 second teeth removed & 10 baby teeth..the dentist Im afraid was known for his butchery & from that treatment me & teeth …well not a happy ending !! I only wish now I had looked after them so much better ! I have gaps now, receding gums they are just awful & I never smile, I hate my picture being taken & I have no confidence talking to people, especially strangers !! They are not painful, I have a little sensitivity but not to affect me eating or drinking hot or cold foods, but at the dentist blowing cold air or water then it gets me. But saying that I no longer go to the dentist now Im too embarrased at the state of my mouth, plus my phobia also includes dentist’s…Sorry, Please dont take that personal.
Now at the age of 42 yrs its come as the hardest ever decision to make, I must get my teeth sorted,, have a proper dentistry routine looking after….???Well….. What do you think I could do ??
Me & my husband have decided a bank loan will be taken …will I have to have all my teeth removed ? Maybe a chance of implants..?? Prob not, wont have any bone ?? Iam terrified I wont lie.
Can you please help
Kindest Regards

Hello,
I am having major problems with my teeth at the moment, i am currently with an nhs dentist at the local hospital, i have been seeing a dentist regularly for 10 yrs, over the last 2 years my teeth has severely deteriorated, due to osteoporosis and parathyroid which is draining my bones of calcium, i am a 43 yr old woman , the problem seems that my teeth are rotting and the gums are receding, all my dentist seems to do is remove teeth, i now have 6 gaps, 4 at the front, and i plate with 2 teeth on, all this is making me feel very down and he is planning on removing more, i don’t pay for treatment at the moment, but could you please advise me on what options i have, and is it possible to be fitted with a bridge, thank you very much in advance
Can you recommend a way to replace two missing top teeth – not dentures or implants?
Monday, April 11th, 2011Q.
i am missing 2 teeth on top.it is not the 2 front teeth, but the ones to the left and right of them. What would be the best fix for them. I don’t want no partial and i cant afford implants . One of the front ones has also started to discolor like it is going bad so i might have to have it removed too.
My dentist tells me that I have very few options to close the gaps in my mouth which missing teeth have left, could you give me any suggestions?
Friday, April 8th, 2011Q.
Hi, I have a gap in my front teeth that has bothered me for ages, but when I’ve asked my dentist about whether they could close the gap they said it would leave me with a bigger gap somewhere else as I am also missing my 2nd set of incisors, and the gap in my front teeth stop me from having gaps there. I’m only 19 so really just want to know if it would be viable to give me normal looking teeth, or wether I am just clutching at straws.
-Thanks & Kind Regards.
