How Much Does Implant Treatment Cost, And Am I Suitable?

February 28th, 2015
Q.

Dear Dr Glover. I had dental surgery 13 years ago to uncover both my adult canine teeth (kissing canines) in the roof of my palette. It took 6 years to drag the teeth down into place with the use of a brace. My canine teeth were then bonded to fill in the gaps to give a better smile. That was 8 years ago. Now it is being suggested that the teeth do not have a good shelf life and implants would be the way forward. What cost do implants come in at for two canine teeth such as mine? And is there any criteria I must meet to be able to have them? I have been told that I have gum disease which currently affects those two teeth. Many thanks, Caroline.

My Dental Implant Was Infected Almost Immediately. What Should My Dentist Be Doing Next?

February 28th, 2015
Q.

My dental implant was infected almost immediately, and I have had 3 courses of antibiotics over the last 3 months. What should my dentist be doing? I have lost confidence in them as last week I went to have the ‘tooth’ part fitted, only to be told that the infection meant that there was not enough bone and I should come back this week for him to investigate. I have had no x-rays since the implant was first put in. What do you think they should do?

Thank you for your enquiry. It… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I Have Bone Fragments Inserted Into My Tooth Gap In Order To Reduce Bone Shrinkage?

February 28th, 2015
Q.

Is it possible and beneficial to have bone fragments inserted into the gap left by an extracted tooth in order to reduce bone loss/re-absorbment? I am concerned that when I have the loose tooth taken out (the furthest tooth back in the lower jaw) that the forward teeth will move back and create bigger gaps to trap food, and that the bone around the tooth next to it will shrink, causing that tooth to loosen. I was hoping there was some way to stop a sort of chain reaction happening, which is what I believe has happened with other teeth I’ve had to have replace with implants.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,  thank you.  Regards,  Chriss Davies.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me. How much is it for a dental implant treatment? I may need 3 implants, as two of my teeth are filled, and one is missing. These three teeth are together in a row. I am missing other teeth, they are molars and if I can afford it, I would get implants. Thank you for your time.

Why Do My Dental Implants Keep Coming Loose?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr. Moore. I had two dental implants to which a bridge of 5 teeth were screwed to. This was 18 months ago, and now they keep coming loose. This has happened about 10 times and the dentist who keeps re-tightening them says the problem is that the 5 teeth have only two teeth to mesh with, as my lower back teeth are missing. I wondered what you think, as sometimes they come loose within a day and other times they stay tight for up to 6 weeks. Thanks you.

My Daughter Has 10 Missing Adult Teeth. What Kind Of Treatment Will She Need As She Gets Older?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Andrew. My daughter had her first dental X-ray today – she’s 9. The dentist has told us that she has 10 adult teeth missing, so will only have 18 adult teeth. She has had 4 adult teeth grow through. She has been referred to an orthodontist for further treatment. Please can you tell me what options are available to her as she gets older. Obviously, having 10 missing adult teeth could impact on her eating and speech. We are worried about her future and her self-esteem.
Any advice would be greatly received.
Thanks.
