My Teeth Have Been Damaged by My Lip Piercing. Am I Suitable for Mini Implants?

April 11th, 2015
Q.

I’m 22, and have had my lip pierced since I was 19. Due to a new job I had to take the piercing out but decided I’d outgrown it so I don’t wear it at all now, but since taking it out I’ve noticed it’s done some damage to some of my lower teeth. I’ve been told that in the near future I’ll need a fixed bridge, if not one of those then implants. I’ve looked into them and prefer the sound of mini implants to anything else, but I don’t know if I’m suitable to have them.What do you suggest? I do regret the piercing now, but the past is the past and I can’t change that! I need to focus on what can be done to my teeth now, so any advice you have would be great. Thanks!

Am I Suitable for All on 4 Implants?

April 6th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if you could offer me some advice. I’m looking into having All on 4 Implants on both my upper and lower jaw. 15 of my teeth need to be removed and at the moment I have a denture of 3 teeth along with 6 natural ones that are in bad condition. I have gum disease and suffer with bone loss. I’ve been advised to travel abroad and I really don’t want to. Are All on 4 Implants an option for me? Thank you.

Should I Get Mini Or Full Dental Implants?

April 2nd, 2015
Q.

Hi there, I wonder if you can help me to make a decision. I’ve been to 2 consultations regarding dental implants after having an accident in which I lost 3 teeth. One dentist suggested I have mini implants whereas the other guy said full implants would be best as I don’t have enough bone to support the mini implants. So obviously now I don’t know who to go with. What do you think?

Is £7000 A Reasonable Price For The Treatment I Need?

March 28th, 2015
Q.

I have a failed episiotomy on one of my upper front teeth. The one next to it which is also one of my front teeth has an infection above it too, although I have experienced no pain yet. They are both crowned with metal posts. I have had a CT scan which shows bone loss. To have them both replaced with implants using donated bone, I have to have the posts put in with temporary teeth attached for 6 months, then have permanent teeth attached. I am being charged £7000, does this price sound reasonable?

How Can I Get A Lovely Smile Without Having False Teeth?

March 21st, 2015
Q.

Hi there, I am a 51 year old lady who suffered Crohns disease and was on long term steroids. I have been off them for 6 years now. My teeth and gums suffered and I have slight gum disease.
I have 1 crown in the front which is not in straight, and the tooth next to it is bridged onto a smaller tooth and is a different colour. I also have gaps. I would like a lovely smile again without having false teeth, any suggestions?

My Dentist Said He Can’t Place A Single Implant. Can This Be Done?

March 21st, 2015
Q.

My problem is that I have a broken post on a root-filled upper canine tooth. Many adjacent teeth are also root-filled [by an endodontic specialist dentist] with posts and crowns. My dentist referred me to an implant dentist who says I need several implants, he cannot just do the one tooth. No doubt the other teeth are not perfect. I am 67, but am loath to consider extracting them and having implants as long as they seem satisfactory. I had no idea that posts could break. Your website seems not to suggest that single implants present problems! Is a single implant possible.

Will My Father’s Dental Implants Look Natural?

March 16th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Glover. I’ve recently paid for my father to get some of his teeth sorted and he’s due to have three dental implants fitted but he’s starting to have second thoughts. Is there any way his dentist can manage to calm him down before he has them? Will they match up correctly and look natural? He’s worried about looking stupid. I hope you can provide us with information on this. It would really be helping us out. Thanks.

I’m About To Have An Implant Put In. Will It Hurt?

March 15th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr McGovern. I’m about to have an implant put in as I have a missing tooth. I’m pretty scared of dentists and tend to get a bit panicky when I go, so I’m really nervous now!! Will it hurt? I’ve got a low pain threshold so I’m scared it’s really going to hurt me. And will my mouth swell up afterwards? I don’t want that!

Is There Any Technology That Allows For Implants To Be Placed In Under One Month?

March 14th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I am a healthy 19 year old individual, and I need 2 tooth implants. The teeth I require are the first and fourth incisors, and I need a long term solution. I understand the procedure of dental implants using titanium screws and have been advised that this is best option for me. I am asking you whether there is any new technology that would allow dental implants to be put in in under a month, using the titanium screws? Also, what would the possible advantages and disadvantages of this technology be, compared to the procedure that takes approximately 6 months? Thank you.

Can I Be Put Under Anaesthetic During The Implant Procedure?

March 14th, 2015
Q.

 I do not like going to the dentist but if I ask my dentist about implants, can she send me to the hospital to be put under anaesthetics during the implant procedure? I’m really scared of dentists. I had a bad experience 8 years ago but now I only have 7 teeth so I can’t eat properly. I’ve lost a lot of weight and am very unhappy with the way I look. Implants sound perfect but only if they put me to sleep first!
