Q.

Hello,
I am seriously considering to undertake All on 4 teeth replacement based on what I read in your article here.
I have 73 years and after the war in Europe the only dental treatment in my region was tooth extraction mostly done by general MD or DIY..
By the age 20 I had most of my back teeth in the upper jaw and in the lower jaw missing.

Thus my jaw bone was not stimulated for over 50 years.
I am retired now and wear dentures.
In the lower jaw I managed to save 4 teeth in front. Dentures are now in need of repair.
I am wearing full denture in the upper jaw and partial denture in the lower jaw.

Have a question about dental hygiene after
All on 4 procedure is completed..
How do I clean those implants to prevent infection and loss of stability of the implant.
Even if implants are from special metal, bacterias can and will collect around implants and cause damage and cause periodontal disease around implants. Are there special techniques and tools to clean thoroughly at least once a day and preferably every time after eating sweets.
Implants will be covered completely covered and invisible and impossible to clean unless I go to a Clinic where they will be able to remove dentures to expose implants and that will significantly increase cost clinic to write a brief article about this important issue.
Many thanks for your help to clarify the maintenance procedures after All on 4 implants are placed in mouth.
Sincerely

Q.

I have had my four bottom front between my K9′s pulled due to bone loss and have been told that because of the bone loss I’m not a candidate for implants. I was wondering is there anything other a fixed bridge that could work for me? I heard that there is now a denture that snaps on over your existing teeth. If so do you know the price range for them?
thank you for taking the time to read my message and for any help you can give me dr moore

Q.

hello Dr Moore

what can you suggest for some one who needs to have all of their teeth replaced, but cannot stand dentures. I did have gum disease, but it has all been cleared up now and i hate the dentures i have been given to wear. They move about and rub my gums and just totally look more hideous than I can really describe. What can you suggest as an alternative to my dentures?

thank you for your time and help and hope to hear back from you soon

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,

Q.
I have been assessed as needing 4 inplants in my top jaw. At present I have a denture for 3 of the missing teeth. Could you tell me if after the first stage of implants is completed, I will be able to wear my denture straight away or will my mouth be too swollen.,

Q.
I was unlucky enough to think I was going under anesthetic to have loads of fillings when I was fifteen. To my horror my parents had been convinced that I needed all my upper teeth removed, which is what I woke to find had happened. so I have had a full denture since then and am now 50! still have a terrible fear of dentists and have not seen one for twenty years through shame as well as fear. have I been with dentures for too long to be able to have implants? or at least implants to secure a better denture? HELP!!!!!!,
