There’s A Crack In One Of My Dental Implants. Should I Go Back To My Dentist To Get It Looked At?

February 3rd, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey, I’m wondering if you can help me. I have two implants that are around a year old.They have been perfect for me up until a couple of days ago. I was eating a boiled sweet and crunched it against one of my implants. At the time I didn’t notice anything but it appears that there is a slight crack in the implant. It hasn’t caused any issues so far, however I don’t want it to in the future. Do you think it will be fine or should I head back to my dentist to get it checked out? What could potentially happen? Look forward to hearing from you, thanks.

Why Does My Crown Keep Falling Out?

February 2nd, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. My crown has fallen out 7 times this year. My dentist glues it back in and doesn’t charge me but I am tired of having to have it glued back in every 6 weeks. I’ve stopped eating real sticky foods and I floss down and out, never pulling up. I told my dentist I thought she cut the tooth too low when she did my root canal treatment, but she says it might be because I chew too hard. Is this my fault or hers, and what can I do?

How Much Would A Single Tooth Replacement And Teeth-Whitening Treatment Cost?

February 2nd, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr. Fahey, I’m wondering if you could help me. I am looking for a single tooth replacement and teeth-whitening treatment. Can you tell me how much that would cost? Thank you. I fell and knocked the tooth out, and the tooth next to it is a little chipped too, at the very front of my mouth to the left.
I am so conscious of it that I don’t smile. I don’t believe the NHS will be able to help me, so I really hope you can.

I Have A Broken Tooth. Do I Need An Implant Or A Plate?

February 1st, 2015
Q.

I have one broken tooth in the front of my lower jaw, and my dentist has advised me to have an implant. As I have only one tooth to replace, is this something you would advise or would a plate be more suitable? I would like to add that I am 71 years old and a plate would be around £250 rather than £2000 for the single tooth implant. I am not sure what else to tell you about my problem and trust that the information I have given is sufficient for you to advise.
Thanks in advance, Gordon Pettitt.

I’m 48. Am I Able To Have Dentures Fitted At This Age?

February 1st, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Fahey. I have gum disease and my current dentist said I can’t have dentures or plates fitted where my missing teeth are. This is a problem as I’m very self-conscious when smiling. My dentist said I’m unable to have existing front teeth taken out to have dentures as I’m only 48. I’m worried that I’ll never be able to smile properly. Will I ever be able to have dentures? I’d be grateful if you could advise me.
