Can you please offer your advice to ease my dental implant treatment concerns?

April 1st, 2012
Q.
after a bad experience with a bone graft and being numb for over a month, I’m now having second thoughts about getting a implant. My appt is in two weeks, so I need advice asap. With 5 children, I am not sure if it’s worth the risk I’ve been reading about. I was in pain from a failed root canal for many years, and I don’t wanna go back to that. seems too many things can go wrong, infection etc….I’m still young and pretty, and I’ve lost my main chewing lower right molar. what else can I do. I’ve been worried sick and loosing sleep. please help me to decide. not sure if it makes a difference but my brother has 2 implants that are fine, and my sisters bottom molars are fine that she has had for over 15 yrs. but she has had a nightmare with her upper implants. didn’t know if family accepts implants the same way? thank you,

How long would a bone graft take to heal and then put the implants in?

March 31st, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Glover. Than you for your time. , i was think of having implants for two teeth that are missing on my upper jaw but I have been told in the past that I have quite a small jaw and I have been reading on your website about bone grafts. What would that entail and how long would it take to heal and then put the implants in? many thanks for your time,

What is the average length of time an implant would last?

March 31st, 2012
Q.
I currently have a denture for my front teeth. I had to go via the denture route, as when one fell out (accident with a wall) as my teeth are protruding it would have meant being unable to have a brace fitted. 19 years later, I still have protruding teeth as well as the denture… It is possible to a few teeth removed and replaced with implants in order to achieve a nice smile? If so what is the average length an implant would last? Thanks in advance,

Why is there a discrepancy between the healing times for dental implants?

March 25th, 2012
Q.
I have 3 implants already, which were place in RSA. The healing time for 2 was 4 weeks, for the other 8 weeks, as there was infection present. Here in the UK most dentists specify a healing period of 4 to 6 months before final crown placement. I do not understand the difference between these healing times, as my SA implants have taken just fine.,

Can my child get dental implants on the NHS to replace submerging teeth?

March 25th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Andrew Moore. My son is ten years old and has six permanent teeth that are missing and that will  not erupt. Soon he is going to have ten primary teeth removed as some are now submerging. He is under a restorititive and orthadontist consultant at the National Health Servicve. They have not been forthcoming on the future treatment and what may eventually happen at this stage of time. Is there a chance that he could have implants as he has an incisor and a canine missing within the six missing. What is the situation on dental implants and the NHS? Do the NHS perform implants on children due to cost and age? Thank you for your time.,

Am I right to assume that the better the implant manufacturer the higher the price?

March 23rd, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Andrew Moore, In your professional opinion who is the best and most reliable manafacturer of dental implants in the current market? I have been making enquiries about this kind of thing and the price difference is very different depending on the manafacturer from what I have found. as a result am I to assume that the better the manafacturer the higher the price? thank you for your time.,

Will I be without teeth during the gap between implant placement and placement of new tooth?

March 23rd, 2012
Q.
hello dr nick fahey and thank you and good day and all that. The problem is that my teeth are very very rotten, and i want to replace them all with implants, i have recently heard that you have to remove all the teeth and then drill the implants in and followed then by the caps or crowns etc to go on afterwards, is there a time period between these two procedures as i am unsure. Its just that it would be relatively embarrassing and impractical to go around without any teeth at all!  in between these two procedures to complete the results. Can you also tell mw what is the usual treatment time limit for the procedure discussed doc? thanks for your time ,

What should I expect to pay for single tooth implant for my UR4 tooth?

March 20th, 2012
Q.
My upper right 4 was removed today. Options provided by my dentist are a single denture (which I do not want) or using UR3 and UR6 as the support for bridging across UR4&5. Cost estimate for the latter on my plan is £1,600. What would I expect to pay for a single tooth dental implant for my UR4 (my dentist does not provide this service)?,
