Will smoking a few cigarettes harm dental implant?

September 17th, 2010
Q.
I am a smoker and have just had two implants. Bone has been grafted for a third. Despite the fact that I have been warned strongly and have read about all the danger of smoking, I find I am still sneaking one or two a day. Trying to stop completely seems impossible and I am wondering if it is possible to have a couple a day or if I am just kidding myself. The tension of it all is dreadful.

Do dental implants look just like real teeth?

September 17th, 2010
Q.
I know I can expect a good level of pain following the implant procedure but what I am mainly concerned with is just how natural the thing will feel. I am getting one implant and an attached crown. It will obvisouly take some time to get used to it but will it really look and feel just like a normal tooth? I just don’t like the idea of having something quite so alien in my mouth!

For most people it will look a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
What age do you have to be to get a dental implant? I am only fourteen but have had to have three teeth removed, my permanent teeth. Now, dental implants seem like the best option but am I old enough to go with or is the bone not fully formed or something like that?

Can I get implants for permanent tooth that didn’t erupt?

September 17th, 2010
Q.
Toward the back of my mouth there are two gaps where permanent teeth just didn’t come through after my baby teeth fell out.

Q.
Hi, I want to get three dental implants for three missing teeth which are next to one another near the back of my mouth.

Can you get help on NHS for dental implants?

September 11th, 2010
Q.
My good friend used to have beautiful teeth up until about 4 years ago when she admitted she had Bulimia. This had an effect upon her teeth and since then she has lost all the top and 8 on the bottom all taken out because of problems from the Bulimia. This girl is agorophobic and wont let people see her ( she hides her mouth ). She has got dentures but she does not wear them as they hurt/dont fit well. She has a couple of mental health issues but this is the main one- not going out; she feels that everyone is talking about how bad her teeth are behind her back. She is in receipt of Disability living allowance would she get help on the NHS for dental implants – I think it would change her life back in to the outgoing person she was. Thank you.
A.
she should contact her local P… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
