How many implants will I need to replace a bridge?

June 16th, 2011
Q.
Hello Doctor 
I have a bridge consisting of 4 teeth at the top front of my mouth. Due to root canal work that has not worked I had to have an operation at the maxio-facial clinic 4 years ago. However this has not worked either and the bridge is starting to fail. My options are to have the operation again but my surgeon says this is only 50% sucessful and can accelerate the process. Or to have the teeth replaced by impants. As Only one tooth is missing, how many implants would I have to have, could the other 3 teeth be replaced with crowns? and would the site of the original tooth loss be suitable for an implant as it was areound 40 yers ago.
Thank you very much for your time,
A.

Can I replace 2 adult teeth and one baby tooth with dental implants?

June 6th, 2011
Q.
Hello Doctor Andrew Moore and I thank you for your time. I have overcrowding at the front of my mouth. There is two teeth in front of one another (incisor) along with a baby tooth next to them (I am currently twenty five). Is it possibly to remove these three (2 adult and 1 baby) teeth and then replace them with two dental implants (preferably one implant with 2 teeth attached). What would an approximate cost be for this type of treatment if you can please let me know. Many thanks and I hope you can advise on this cheers,.,

I am suffering from TMJ as a result of braces treatment gone wrong. Can you advise?

June 1st, 2011
Q.
I am currently wearing braces and have 4 missing teeth due to extractions. My bottom teeth were straight but in my opinion after treatment with braces they are now more worser. i have been told that i will have implants on the NHS, but my treatment has been ongoing for years and now i have been told that i will have another minimum of 2 yr before completion. I also have developed TMJ symptoms, due to the reposition of my bite, but although the dentist and consultants aknowledge this they do not refer me to a maxillofacial surgeon, which is only 1 floor below them in the hospital. I do not understand why this is? There are now moments where i am being told that i will recieve an appojnment by letter but none arrive, for months until i enquire over the phone. i feel that i am being neglected and on top of all that more damage is done to my teeth than is good. I am going to complain to the PCT and the chief executive of the hospital. i would however like advice on what i should do to help my TMJ. and if i can be referred to another dentist which can carry out my work under NHS funding?,

Is there any alternative to invasive treatments I have been recommended for bone loss?

May 31st, 2011
Q.
Hello Dr Moore. I thank you for taking time to consider my enquiry. I was reffered to a periodontist by my dentist as I told that I have quit a bit of bone loss. During my consultation I was told that for being 30 years old 30% bone loss is bad also considering I have short roots, I am at loss for losing my teeth prematurely. I was told I will need to have a bone graft placed as well as some proteins that will help in regeneration. Are there any other alternatives that are not as invasive and costly but that have similar results? Thank you for your time.,

Can my child get dental implants on the NHS to replace submerging teeth?

May 25th, 2011
Q.
Hello Dr Andrew Moore. My son is ten years old and has six permanent teeth that are missing and that will  not erupt. Soon he is going to have ten primary teeth removed as some are now submerging. He is under a restorititive and orthadontist consultant at the National Health Servicve. They have not been forthcoming on the future treatment and what may eventually happen at this stage of time. Is there a chance that he could have implants as he has an incisor and a canine missing within the six missing. What is the situation on dental implants and the NHS? Do the NHS perform implants on children due to cost and age? Thank you for your time.,

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

May 18th, 2011
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?

May 17th, 2011
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. ,
