The Gaps On My Bottom Set Seem To Be Getting Wider, What Can I Do To Close Them?

January 10th, 2015
Q.

Hello Andrew. I have gaps between my front, bottom teeth. They are widening or just getting smaller from erosion. Can you tell me what treatments are there best suited for covering the gap for this case? It’s an urgent case, as I am not aware of any site discussing issues regarding the bottom set of teeth, usually just the upper teeth is more discussed in regards to gaps. I would like to know the solution to it and possibly the potential cost of treatment? Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing your reply.

I Am Suffering From Painful Headaches And I Have Gagging Problems. Would I Be Suitable Candidate For Implants?

December 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I have had all my teeth removed from the upper and lower jaws, and as a result of the dentures fitted, I am suffering from painful headaches and have a problem with gagging which leads to me vomiting more often than I would like. I have been trying to use these dentures but it is starting to have a real impact on my health. I have seen on some sites that yes in certain cases implants are available and others that say no but none are specific to any case or one such as mine. Can you advise me on my best course of action please? Thank you.

The Taste Of Food Is Impaired By My Dentures, Would I Be A Suitable Candidate For Implants?

December 4th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I am 47 years old and over the last two years have lost a number of upper teeth due to gum disease. I have lost two of my front teeth and one of my main front teeth is extremely loose an am sure it will come out soon, I have a partial denture that is uncomfortable and eating is no longer a pleasure as the taste of my food is impaired and does not feel natural. Can dental implants offer me a better solution and which treatment would suit my problem best and what is the treatment cost estimate? I hope you can help me answer these questions as it would be a great help.

I Have Recently Been Told That I Would Need Zygomatic Implants At A Cost Of £25000. Is This A Correct Estimate?

November 20th, 2014
Q.

Dear Dr Moore. I have been recently told by my dentist that I need to have Zygomatic implants because my bones are too week for titanium implants. Can you please tell me what this would normally cost as I have been told that it would be around £25000. As you can appreciate this is a lot of money and I need to be sure. Is this a straight forward operation and what are the after effects of it, including the worst scenario. Thank you and I look forward to your advice regarding this matter.

Is There Any Help I Can Get From The NHS Toward The Cost Of Implant Treatment? My Dentures Make Me Self Conscious.

November 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I have had a full top denture since the age of 17, I am now 53 and my dentist has tried her best to make me a new denture that will fit comfortably without movement. Unfortunately she said this is the last try and it still hasn’t worked. I get very depressed because of this and it makes me feel very conscious when eating out. If I sneeze or cough they just fly out causing much embarrassment unless I stick them in with horrible fixative. My dentist has told me I need dental implants but they are very expensive, I am disabled and I can’t afford the treatment. Is there any help I can get from the NHS towards the cost of the treatment I am desperate?

I don’t think so but you could… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I Pulled Floss From My Tooth And Heard A Crack. My Dentist Says I Have TMJ. Could I Have Fractured The Crown?

October 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr,
Four months ago I was flossing my teeth and the floss got stuck under my tooth with a crown. I pulled it out carefully and heard a crack. I didn’t have severe pain. But I started having dull pain about a few days after, plus, jaw pain, neck pain and ear ache. Went to the dentist and he said it was TMJ—okay— did all the recommended TMJ treatments. Plus, I had a physician I knew who gave me an antibiotic after the treatment which did not work for a week. I stopped all TMJ treatments and started taking the antibiotics. After the antibiotics everything went away. Four months later– it’s back. My dentist still says TMJ. But I wonder if the crack I heard caused a fracture under my crown. I continue to have dull achy pain next to the jaw area, and right ear pain (now burning at times) and muscle tension to neck and shoulder. Hope you can help. Thanks for your thoughts.

My New Implants Need Time To Heal But I Can’t Eat Or Drink And My Dentist Isn’t Helpful. Should I Seek A Second Opinion?

October 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I had my implants placed around 4 weeks ago. I know you’re supposed to give them at least 6 months to heal but this is impossible. I can’t eat a thing, I can’t open my mouth, my gums are bleeding and my dentist is offering me no advice. He keeps brushing me off and just keeps recommending different pain killers. I don’t feel he’s being very attentive at all. Can you please offer me some advice regarding this matter? Should I seek a second opinion? Thank you.

How Long Do I Have To Wait For My Gums To Heal For Implants?

September 18th, 2014
Q.

Hi there. I am considering having two dental implants next to each other in the molar region. Would I be able to have them both done at the same time?

I had a tooth out yesterday and the gums have stitches in. Do I need to wait for it to heal before having implants?

I have been told there are different levels of quality of implants. Is this correct?

I am thinking of going to Poland to have them done so I want to check that the quality of implant is good.

Thanks. I look forward to hearing your advice.

I Want A Couple Of Implants To Support My Partial Dentures As I Regret Having My Top Teeth Pulled. Is This Possible?

August 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I have a full upper set of false teeth and only a few teeth remaining on the bottom and I was wondering if I could get just a few implants or crowns in order to help me return to wearing just a partial denture at the top like I had previously before getting all my teeth at the top removed? I’m getting so depressed through it that I can’t even leave the house and I find it hard to talk properly, I have saved up a couple of thousand pounds and was wondering if there was anyway to help relieve me of wearing a full set of dentures? Could I have a few crowns or implants fitted that could then support a partial plate with the other teeth as I really regret having all my top teeth pulled out as I’m now lacking self confidence and I feel helpless, any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

How Long Will I Be Able To Start Eating Solids After Having Implant Surgery?

August 7th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I just want to know something that is really bugging me. How long in your opinion, will I have to wait before I can start eating solid food when I get my new implants fitted? I’m going for the procedure in a fortnight from now and I go out for a lot of business lunches, and I don’t really fancy sitting there with some soup and a straw as you can imagine it would start to get quite tiresome. I want to begin eating solids again as soon as possible, so how long, on average, will it take until I can do this? Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me with this matter.
