How Much Do Lower Fixed Dentures Usually Cost And Can My Normal Dentist Do It?

December 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Kalpesh, can you help me please? How much do lower fixed dentures cost and can my normal dentist do it? I am worried about getting lower dentures and it not staying in place or falling out. I have only got a few lower teeth and they are quite rotten/ bad. I already have top denture. I have been brave and gone to dentist but feel so ashamed and embarrassed because I’m fed up getting abscesses, etc and I want to be confident again when I smile. I would be grateful for any advice or information you can offer me. Thank you.

I Am Suffering From Painful Headaches And I Have Gagging Problems. Would I Be Suitable Candidate For Implants?

December 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I have had all my teeth removed from the upper and lower jaws, and as a result of the dentures fitted, I am suffering from painful headaches and have a problem with gagging which leads to me vomiting more often than I would like. I have been trying to use these dentures but it is starting to have a real impact on my health. I have seen on some sites that yes in certain cases implants are available and others that say no but none are specific to any case or one such as mine. Can you advise me on my best course of action please? Thank you.

My Mum Has Severe Dry Mouth Symptoms After Having All-On-4 Implants. Why Has This Happened?

December 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey,

My Mum recently had the 4 dental implant treatment. Initially she was delighted with the results and how great they look but unfortunately she’s now experiencing severe dry mouth symptoms and the implants have begun to discolour. Her dentist has said that it is not due to the implants and that he’s never had a patient to complain about dry mouth before. He had to replace the bottom implants due to the discolouration and it looks like he’s going to do the same with the top set. Could he have damaged a nerve going to the saliva gland during the insertion procedure? I think the lack of Saliva is causing the discolouration but surely he would know this. Any advice on how to proceed?

Regards.

The Taste Of Food Is Impaired By My Dentures, Would I Be A Suitable Candidate For Implants?

December 4th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I am 47 years old and over the last two years have lost a number of upper teeth due to gum disease. I have lost two of my front teeth and one of my main front teeth is extremely loose an am sure it will come out soon, I have a partial denture that is uncomfortable and eating is no longer a pleasure as the taste of my food is impaired and does not feel natural. Can dental implants offer me a better solution and which treatment would suit my problem best and what is the treatment cost estimate? I hope you can help me answer these questions as it would be a great help.
