Q.

Hello. Thank you for all the information on the website here dentalimplant.co.uk and would like to ask. It is stated that a dental school may take you on as a patient, please can I have list of places?

I am not sure of the cost of implants and know that I need one or maybe even five.

I had beautiful teeth that I paid over 3,000 for five years ago. They were veneers. I fell ill three years ago with Trigeminal Neuralgia and the operation went wrong and ended up with further complications. My teeth due to the very nature of what I have, began to deteriorate since falling ill.

So have many questions having sobbed all morning with an implant breaking and just had enough of the illness. Can I have implants with what I have ? Can you get finance for teeth if just for a while you are not on a massive income?

If the answer to the last, is possible if I cannot find a dentist school to take me on, then please can I have an appointment?

I have never been so low as before falling sick was such an upcoming law student in my final year and it is amazing how quickly your life is taken from you and right now trying to manage and just want to be able to smile again.

If implants are possible – please can I have a reply, Thank you.

Q.

I am aged 58.Only two days ago My dentist have implanted a metallic screw type material on one my tooth. I thought he will provide me a crown on that screw within a day or two but he is now telling he will fix the crown after 4 or 6 months. Will you please explain me why so delay. An orthopedic surgeon dose not need so much time to insert a metallic part on the human body. Human body accepts a particular type of titanium alloy do you think that the screw what my dentist have implanted is of not that type so this unnecessary time is required to acclaim the given metal with my body .

Q.

My requirements: a) Root canal therapy two canals-cast post and core – crown preparation and impression -porcelain bonded Br non-precious or b) a complex extraction or c) and implant.
The particular tooth in question is the end one of a row of crowns, it is painful and being treated at the moment with antibiotic. I have to decide soon as to which option I choose.
My age – 70
Have very recently had an MRI plus a CT scan and wish to have neither of these as part of my future treatments.
I hope you will be able to give me some helpful decision making advice.
I live in Berkshire

Q.

Hello there, I would like a second opinion on my orthodontic treatment and dental implants! When I was 10 years old I extracted my first molar/left lower jaw as it was so decayed, the empty socket, overtime shrinked and caused my face to be uneven! When I was 17 years old, I had to remove the rest of the First molars (upper left/upper right/lower right) because of decay! Today I am 22 years old and I can notice that I am starting to age prematurely as the gaps from the molar extractions are starting to shrink, causing my face to get smaller, hollow eyes, “melting face ” kind of effect so I was thinking to have bone graft (as I lost serious bone) and then dental implants. But there is one small problem! I started my orthodontic treatment 1 year ago, for a severe malocclusion from where I will have to have jaw surgery to complete the treatment. At the start of the treatment I mentioned to my orthodontist I would like to keep the (molar extraction) gaps open so I can have dental implants but at my appoiment yesterday she said she wants to close the gaps and that’s what we’ve been doing all along during the treatment. I don’t feel is a good idea as my teeth and jaw are very small anyway and I’m scared this will make it even worse../Plus looking in the mirror and seeing my face changing I don’t like what I see/aging prematurely. Now, my questions are: Is it a good idea for my orthodontist to close the gaps? If it’s not, with orthodontic treatment is she able to stretch the gaps back to original shape so I can have the dental implants? If yes, will I be able to have the dental implants during the orthodontic treatment or after/during the jaw surgery? I feel very upset/disstresed/depressed….i stopped going out/have avoided most of my friends, when meeting someone new they guess my age at 29/31 as I look so old….. I need a second opnion/answer please! Thank you very much!

Q.
I have previously (5 yrs ago) had root treatment and a crown on my to second pre-molar. Last weekend the crown, which covered most of the area of the tooth, fell out. Today I visited a dentist and apparently I now don’t have enough tooth on show to have another crown (my gum has already covered over the area) the root is also not in the best condition for this. So this would mean my options are a denture, a bridge or an implant. Not keen to get a denture, the bridge I’m guessing may cause problems down the line for my other surrounding teeth. So what kind of price would I be looking at for an implant? And is this a more “permenant” solution? Many thanks.

Q.
hello can you please offer some advice for my problem. my mother currently wears implants and they are causing a whole lot of trouble, rubbing her gums and just making her mouth feel uncomfortable. I have been looking for other options out there and i do like the ideas of implants for dentures something called all on 4 i think its called. What does this entail exactly because my mother is quite frail. thank you for your time dr,

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.
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 ,

Q.
Hello Dr Fahey, Can you advise on my current situation. Is it possible to have the all on 4 system in order to replace eight teeth on both the upper and lower jaw with a bridge rather then getting a denture. Then in a few years time to begin the more complex bone grafting/implants for the sinus area? I love the immediate function of all on 4 but do have doubts on the long term if all teeth are places just on 4 implants. I would appreciate your feedback on this situation if you have the time please.,

Q.
Hello Dr Fahey. Can you please assist. I recently had a tooth extraction done after an infection and an abscess but there is still a bump there which is still yet to be gone away. My dentist has told me that it is bone deformation and that it will go away eventually, but i also wanted to have an implant put in to replace the existing tooth. In your professional opininon, do you think i wlll be able to and if so how long do you think it will take? many thanks for your time.,
