April 1st, 2012
Q.
Hi could you tell me if you’ve ever heard of allergic reactions with the dental implants?

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

April 1st, 2012
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?,

Would I able to replace what I consider dead teeth for dental implants?

April 1st, 2012
Q.
Hi, i have a couple of teeth on the top row of teeth that are technically dead as they are grey and don’t feel very secure. I haven’t been to the dentist in many years so i fear that the damaged teeth may have affected the gums and possibly the jaw. I would really like to get implants to replace the dead teeth but if what i fear is true would this be an option for me as the gum and jaw might not be able to provide a stable base. many thanks for your time,

How would dental implants handle speaking and singing?

April 1st, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Moore. Can you please offer advice on my situation. I sing with two different choirs and, on the occasion, sing solo and so my teeth are important to me. Sadly, due to extensive use of antibiotics, I had to lose many of my teeth. The part upper denture is badly fitting and also interferes with speech, particularly ends of words important in singing. I couldn’t be without teeth and so how would I cope if I went for implants? Thank you for your time and I hope you can advise.,

Can you please offer your advice to ease my dental implant treatment concerns?

April 1st, 2012
Q.
after a bad experience with a bone graft and being numb for over a month, I’m now having second thoughts about getting a implant. My appt is in two weeks, so I need advice asap. With 5 children, I am not sure if it’s worth the risk I’ve been reading about. I was in pain from a failed root canal for many years, and I don’t wanna go back to that. seems too many things can go wrong, infection etc….I’m still young and pretty, and I’ve lost my main chewing lower right molar. what else can I do. I’ve been worried sick and loosing sleep. please help me to decide. not sure if it makes a difference but my brother has 2 implants that are fine, and my sisters bottom molars are fine that she has had for over 15 yrs. but she has had a nightmare with her upper implants. didn’t know if family accepts implants the same way? thank you,

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

March 31st, 2012
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.,

What is the average length of time an implant would last?

March 31st, 2012
Q.
I currently have a denture for my front teeth. I had to go via the denture route, as when one fell out (accident with a wall) as my teeth are protruding it would have meant being unable to have a brace fitted. 19 years later, I still have protruding teeth as well as the denture… It is possible to a few teeth removed and replaced with implants in order to achieve a nice smile? If so what is the average length an implant would last? Thanks in advance,
A.
yes and if you look after them… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Why is there a discrepancy between the healing times for dental implants?

March 25th, 2012
Q.
I have 3 implants already, which were place in RSA. The healing time for 2 was 4 weeks, for the other 8 weeks, as there was infection present. Here in the UK most dentists specify a healing period of 4 to 6 months before final crown placement. I do not understand the difference between these healing times, as my SA implants have taken just fine.,
