Why Do My Implants Keep Failing?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, please help me with my problem. I got implants fitted 3 years ago. Since then they have continuously failed. Is there any point in me keeping them if they’re just going to keep failing? My dentist can’t understand why it keeps happening. Please let me know what you think!

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.

Is It Possible To Have My Two Front Teeth Extracted And Replaced With Straighter Implants?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I am looking for assistance regarding my two front teeth. One of them is crowned and the other is capped. I used to wear a brace but over time they have started to go back to where they were before. I would like these two teeth extracted and two new ones put in their place, but put in straight. I have read about implants and am wondering if it is possible to extract my two front teeth and replace then straighter with implants? I’d love to know your opinion! Thank you!

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.

I Have Fibromyalgia. Can I Have Dental Implants?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I have fibromyalgia so I’m in a lot of pain all the time. My teeth are not in the best state because to be perfectly honest I have just let myself go. However, I am looking into dental implants to replace all the teeth in my mouth, but I’m worried that my condition means that I can’t have them. Can you please offer me some advice? I am looking for a specialist who can help me in the Manchester area, do you know of any? If not I am willing to travel for the right dentist who can help. Thank you for your time!

Which Is The Better Option Between All-On-4 And Implants For Dentures?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. I had my teeth removed a number of years ago, and have been wearing dentures ever since. I find these incredibly uncomfortable and have been looking at the different options available for a more stable replacement. I am torn between All-On-4 and implants for dentures. Which, in your opinion, is the best choice for me? Thank you for your time, any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

Can I Get A Dental Implant At The Age Of 17?

February 23rd, 2015
Q.

I wore braces for almost 3 years. I was told that one of my teeth will never form into an adult tooth meaning that I will have a gap. My dentist has partly filled the gap by essentially making the tooth next to the gap bigger because at the time they said I was too young for an implant. I am now 17 and would really like to know whether or not I would be able to get an implant in your opinion as the gap really affects my confidence, so I would love to get it sorted.

Will Taking Steroids For A Short Period Of Time Make My Dental Implants Fall Out?

February 11th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. Would taking steroids for shingles for 5 days cause an implant that was in my mouth for 16 months to fall out? I don`t smoke or take any other medication. I took the steroids for 5 days but the shingles were caught early and cleared up within 3 months. I had 2 implants put in, 1 took 28 months for my dentist to put in and the other 16 months. The latter got infected. My question still remains, could taking steroids for a short period of time affect implants?

I Have A Gap Between My Implant And The Neighbouring Teeth. Will My Gum Grow To Fit The Gap?

February 11th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey. I had a single tooth implanted at the top of my mouth at the front. My gum didn’t fill the space on the sides and between the implant and neighbouring teeth.There is a little gap that I’m not happy with. My dentist said that it will grow naturally to fill the gap and gave me some gel to use on the area.

It’s been 3 weeks now and it’s still the same. Will the gum really grow to fill the gap? If not then what other options do I have? Thank you very much.

Can An NHS Dentist Help Me With Bone Resorption?

February 9th, 2015
Q.

I have significant bone resorption & pain from a two year old implant. The bone wasn’t great in the beginning but it has got worse and the stump is now exposed. I have been dedicated to keeping it clean. I have another which I have had no problems with.
I do not have the funds to rectify this privately. Can I use an NHS dentist to help?
The place I used had an offer on but I think the dentist was quite inexperienced in implants. For my first implant I had additional bone grafted but on this one she said “there’s plenty of bone there” and took some from further along my jaw.
Some advice on what to do would be great and also any thoughts on the original grafting. Would I have been spared this if she had only placed some extra bone in?
