Am I suitable for dental implants?

Q. I am a 40 year old male who does not smoke and I managed to get one of my teeth close to the front of my mouth knocked out. Could you tell me if I am suitable for a dental implant? What other factors will decide whether I can get the treatment done?
A. Hi thanks for your question.

It’s difficult to advise if you are suitable for a dental implant without a full comprehensive consultation which would normally include xrays and photographs.

Factors to be considered are how the tooth was lost, how long ago was it lost, was there any damage to the underlying bone?

The good news is that dental implant treatment can be very successful and for non smokers the healing time can be much faster.

Hope that this helps.

Thanks

Can implants be used when several teeth are missing?

Q. Are dental implants just for cases where there are a few teeth missing or can they be used in cases like mine where there are all but 6 teeth missing. That is combining top and bottom?
A. Certainly, the first use of dental implants were for people with no teeth at all, a few teeth only and single teeth came much later

Can a dental implant be knocked out like normal teeth?

Q. I am down to get a dental implant and due to the cost I want to make sure it is a success. I know normal teeth can be knocked out through accidents, but what I would like to know is if there is the chance that a dental implant can fall out as well? When playing football or some other sport like rugby is there the possibility?
A.

Hi Thanks for your question.

In the same way that your natural teeth can be lost or damaged through trauma such as a sporting accident, the same is the case for dental implants.

A good quality, well constructed mouthguard can be used to minimise the risk when playing sports.

Thanks.
George Glover.

I have not been to the dentist in 10 years – can you help me?

Q. I have not been to the dentist in 10 years. This was down to fear which only got worse and worse as time went by, until the thought of going to the dentist made me scared at the thought of what may need doing. I now have horrible teeth. Only three remaining teeth in my upper jaw and five in my bottom, none of which are in very good condition. I need to go to the dentist but this seems like such extensive work. Would you be able to help me?
A. We would be very happy to help you. You might be a good candidate for sedation, this helps anxious patients deal with complex treatment such as extractions or implants.
If you would like me to take a look please call the clinic on 01245 268 494 and we can arrange a visit

Replacements available for missing teeth due to gum disease?

Q. Hello I have to get all my teeth remove due to gum diease. what would be the beat way to replace them and due to the large ammount of money it would cost would it be possible to just remove the really loose ones and do it in stages? thank you
A. hi many thanks for your email, the best option would be to remove the teeth and so remove the cause of the gum disease. you could then have your teeth replaced with just dentures first. then stage this to maybe place two implants in each jaw and fix these to the dentures. then place maybe another two implants and then replace the denture for a fixed bridge on four implants. this way staging the cost as well.  hope this is helpful.

Q. 8 months ago I had to have a tooth removed as it was decaying down to the root.
