Q.

Dr Glover,
I am considering the All on 4 implants to upper and lower jaws. I have 14 teeth which need removing, I currently have a denture of 4 teeth on the upper jaw along with 7 natural teeth which are in poor condtion. On the lower jaw I have 8 teeth and no denture I can provide an x ray and would just like an idea of costs.
I suffer with gum disease and severe bone loss I have had a number of consultations which would require me to travel to various parts of Europe which I would like to avoid if possible

A.
Thanks for your question.

Q.

I had 2 midi implants fitted…1 failed and the other has had a crown fitted but the gum seems to be receeding and it looks like the bone is going around the implant. I am worried that the implant has caused this and will show through. I have been told wait and see but what if it does? what can be done? To take it out would mean further bone loss and then what..as I would still have the problem with the gum. i have been told gum grafts dont work well. I am to have a bone graft on the side that the midi implant failed (from another dentist) and 2 full implants fitted but i am now having second thoughts as I am desperately worried about this gum problem. Is there a really good denture that I could have fitted instead? I have only been given the usual ones. I would be most grateful for any advice. Many thanks

Q.
I have new lower denture (whole set) about to be retained by mini dentures next week. I have a worry though. food or tablets get inside plastic gum (underneath tongue) and lodge up into the denture underneath false teeth. Is this something that cannot be resolved or perhaps is it the result of the denture being ill fitting?? Many Thanks,

Q.
I recently had 5 mini implants placed in my upper jaw immediately after the removal of several teeth.During my initial consultation I was advised that the larger conventional implants would be best. But on the day of surgery was told that because I had bad gum disease it would compromise the implants and therefore best to use mini implants.I am slightly concerned and my confidence in this clinic is a little shaken.Does the advice sound valid to you?,
