What should I expect to pay for single tooth implant for my UR4 tooth?

March 20th, 2012
Q.
My upper right 4 was removed today. Options provided by my dentist are a single denture (which I do not want) or using UR3 and UR6 as the support for bridging across UR4&5. Cost estimate for the latter on my plan is £1,600. What would I expect to pay for a single tooth dental implant for my UR4 (my dentist does not provide this service)?,
A.
Around £2000, the advant… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Should I opt to have implant bone graft in your opinion?

March 18th, 2012
Q.
I have three implants together on the lower right side of my jaw done 17years ago. The middle implant is failing with the gum and bone receeding. Two dentists recommend the same treatment ie remove middle implant and fit new bridge across the three implants. However one dentist recommends an implant bone graft while the other does not as it would be of no use. I,m in the experts hands as to the answer.The bone has considerably receeded under the middle implant but not seriously affected the implants on either side however the steel is visible. My question is? Do I have the implant bone graft or do I allow the bone to rebuild naturally as far as possible. I look forward to hearing from you..eamon,

Can I replace all my teeth with implants because I have gum disease?

March 17th, 2012
Q.
Dr Moore, I am currently suffering from gum disease; it has now reached the stage where I am starting to lose teeth. I have already lost three teeth from my top jaw and have a further one now loose. I have a plate with the replacement teeth but find this denture set uncomfortable and un-hygienic, is it possible to have all my teeth replaced with permanent implants and would you please let me have an indication of the cost for this procedure. Many thanks in advance. ,
A.

What are my options when my teeth fall out due to periodontal disease?

March 11th, 2012
Q.
Hi, I have been petrified of dentists for years so have avoided going at all costs, but over the last year i noticed the gap and gum between my top front teeth was getting bigger so i plucked up the courage to go and see my local dentist. Once there she gave me an xray and said I had periodontal disease very severe, since then I have been back for her thoroughly clean them and remove any tartar that has built up but she has now told me that chances are i am going to lose my teeth by the end of the year (they could fall out) as you can understand this has scared me as I am only 32 and she doesnt seem to be giving any form of advise as to what I can do to a) stop it getting any worse or B) if they do fall out what can be done, I understand I am with an NHS dentist but was wondering what options I would have if I went private as i dont really understand what you price list means, if you could give me any advose I would be very grateful. Many thanks ,
A.

Should I get implant immediate loading or have longer healing time?

March 3rd, 2012
Q.
I currently have a bridge on my front teeth this was fitted 15 years ago when i had the two front teeth removed. I have decided to have implants as the bridge has failed and the supporting teeth are infected. I have had two consultations, the first dentist said that the teeth would be removed and due to the fact that i have a high smile line i would wait 3-6 months for the site to heal. Then the implants would be placed and then there would be another 3-6month wait before the permanant bridge could be fitted to the implants. During this time i would wear an adhesive bridge. This seemed like a long time so i had a second consultation with another dentist, this time i was told that the teeth could be removed and the implants placed with immediate loading of temp teeth for 3-6 months before permanant bridge fitted, despite telling the dentist that i do tend to grind and clench my teeth when sleeping. I am now very confused as to which is the best option as both dentists have advised such different methods. I have read that immediate loading can be quite high risk of failure because there should be no movement as the area is healing. I just assumed that i would have implants placed straight away then wear a temporary bridge that does not put pressure on the area that is healing. Any advice, i don’t want to end up paying for another consultation.,

I had a tooth extraction and I am still in pain 8 weeks later, what do you suggest?

February 27th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, unfortunately your answer did not appear on your blog so I shall ask again with a little bit more added. I still get an ache where the extraction site is 8 weeks after extraction, is this normal and should I have a bridge whilst this is going on? This is the added bit – I have seen the dentist once again and took 2 x-rays, nothing showed up as to why I am still in pain and has referred me to my local hospital. What do you think it is?,
