My dentist and Guys Hospital dispute what treatment i should have done, which one should i go with?

August 1st, 2013
Q.

Ive had 3 implants put in about 6 yrs ago but Ive been told they wont last by my dentist and Guys Hospital. My dentist suggest to have the implants redone but Guys tell me to have a bridge. Im confused and really dont know what to do. I just want to be referred to the right person so I don’t have to walk around with big gaps in my mouth. Its an awful feeling not being able to smile. I’m a diabetic who is 50 years old. My diabetes can be a bit unstable at times but at the moment the balance has improved.

Both my dentist and Guys disagree with each other regarding my treatment and both parties rerfuse to talk to each other too.

I so need to find a permanant help for my teeth as the thought of having more false teeth kills me.

The implant on the upper left hand side is starting to ache which I fear might be starting to fall out but on touching it , it still appears firm. Both other impants also appear firm but x rays have proved they will one day fall out but no one knows when.

my nhs dentist and private dentist worked together with my treatment of crowns and implants. also i had to have bone put in the gums so the implants worked.

I have had Gum disease since I was 21 but keep my teeth in good order. I have them clean by my dentist every 3 months. Ive also been to guys for a year while they cleaned

Lost most of my teeth, is there a limit as to how many teeth can be implanted?

July 24th, 2013
Q.

I have lost most of my teeth through gum disease and from drinking heavy metal water in Mongolia. My gums now healthy
Is there a limit to the amount of teeth that can be implanted? I need 10 or more. I have upper and lower plates at moment and these are ok but not wonderful and I could maybe do without upper if I get 5-5 teeth impants

My main concerns are the costs and the longevity of the implants and the time that I will need to heal the implants

Any information on the costs and the medical aspects would be welcomed

July 17th, 2013
Q.

I need help paying for dental implant procedures on my upper and lower. I have tried to even volunteer at schools and on Craigs list but no help. This is not about a lifestyle.I need teeth in my mouth and dentures and metal on the roof of my mouth is something I cannot handle.

I need help please, I even wrote to the Dental Association. I was told this was my only option and I needed to get the procedure done soon because my bone amount was good. I have no teeth in the back. I need a blessing and I am asking for your help please. I am 42 and healthy, I do not want this, I need help for this procedure.

I’m considering having an implant on my right front tooth, I’ve had 2 consultation which do you think is the best option?

July 17th, 2013
Q.

I am considering having an implant on my right front tooth due to the post / core RCT root starting to fail (after 25 years). I have had two consultations with two specialists and one is saying he would be prepared to do an immediate implant placement following extraction with the final restoration 3 months later, but the other is saying he does not want to do this and will extract, wait 3 months and then place the implant. Which do you think is the best option, as i have read that immediate loading / placement can cause problems such as gum recession after placement and can be challenging to create a good result in the aesthetic zone? Perhaps worth noting is that i had crown lengthening surgery about 3 years ago prior to the replacement of my front crowns. Also, as both my front teeth are crowned can i have a fixed temporary restoration during the healing phases of the implant placement? I know i should have asked them these questions but i ran out of time at the consultation and just want an unbiased view. Many thanks in advance.

Would my dad be able to get dental implants put in if his dentists knocked two other teeth out while extracting another tooth?

July 17th, 2013
Q.

Hi my dad went to the dentist to get one tooth taken out, in doing this the dentist actually broke his crown straight off and the bridge next to it. they said they would fix this and they have given him a pallot. Would he be able to get dental implants put in for free on the two teeth that were knocked out seen as though it isnt his fault. Surely he should have to pay to have these teeth fixed as it wasnt his fault they were taken out? i was wondering is there anything we can do or will he have to pay for treatment ?

My two teeth that i had apicoectomy’s on 20 years ago are infected, what’s the best way forward from here?

July 17th, 2013
Q.

I have two teeth at the very front of my lower jaw that had apicoectomy’s approx 20 years ago and are now infected. I understand from what I have read I will need bone grafting, possibly a small/mini implant and that there is an above average chance they may fail – can you give me any advice on the way forward, suitable treatment (I don’t want more bone damage or anything that could fall out / break etc) and if I can find a good experienced implant dentist could they treatment work. Many thanks for any advice.

It is highly likely bone graft… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I would like a molar tooth implant but worried about the treatment, is titanium the best material to use?

July 17th, 2013
Q.

I would like to replace a molar tooth at the very back of my mouth and I worry in case the implant will cause my tongue to go numb or if this procedure will touch an acupuncture meridian point causing another area of my body to be affected.Also is there an even better material other than titanium which can be used for the implant itself, really appreciate hearing from you as I am so worried about this procedure, thank you for any help on this matter!
