Am I a suitable candidate for bone grafting and dental implants?

January 17th, 2012
Q.

i am 43 and have very severe gum disease which has resulted in me losing quite a few teeth. I have, as a result lost a lot of bone and wear a partial denture. i was considering a fixed denture or implants but my dentist is not qualified in the bone grafting needed to make this option possible. it is causing me some distress now and i’m finding it hard to get the proper advice. could you explain whether bone grafting and implants may be an option and how successful this process is. I am a smoker, but am taking steps to quit. Can you help?

A.
Thanks for your question.

My teeth look longer. Is this due to gum recession. Could I get implants?

July 1st, 2011
Q.
I am considering having the remainder of my teeth removed and full dental implants fitted. I would like to know how many implants are necessary to support full ceramic bridges for both upper and lower jaw with 12 teeth on each. I am asking as I have conflicting advice about this. Another concern that I have is that my own teeth appear very long presumably due to receding gums and I would like to know if this can be improved with the new crowns. I do not want to end up with teeth that look as long as they do now. I look forward to your reply. Thank you for your time.,

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 I get teeth replaced with all on 4 and then get grafting done at later date?

May 20th, 2011
Q.
Hello Dr Fahey, Can you advise on my current situation. Is it possible to have the all on 4 system in order to replace eight teeth on both the upper and lower jaw with a bridge rather then getting a denture. Then in a few years time to begin the more complex bone grafting/implants for the sinus area? I love the immediate function of all on 4 but do have doubts on the long term if all teeth are places just on 4 implants. I would appreciate your feedback on this situation if you have the time please.,

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,

Are there any risks associated with the summers technique?

January 25th, 2011
Q.
Could the sinus be lifted without having to graft bone? My dentist was talking about summers lift and did not suggest grafting. Also – if I have a tendency to have blocked sinuses – am I taking a risk? What is the risk of damaging the sinus membrane and what is the recovery process?,
