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.,

Will I be able to get implants for two teeth without bone transplantation?

March 23rd, 2011
Q.
I am interested in Implants to replace a few missing teeth. I also have a large number of teeth that are in quite bad condition, these teeth almost certainly need removing so I was wondering about replacing these teeth with Implants too. As I have only two teeth that have been removed, is it likely that my bone loss will be low and so make it possible for implant techniques without resorting to bone transplantation. I know it would be hard for you to make a judgement without a proper consultation but ws wondering if, in essence, it sounded likely. Thank you,,
A.
Yes it does sound likely but t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What are the risks associated with gum recession and implants in terms of the bone?

March 8th, 2011
Q.
I need about 5 implants done. I am (only) 38 and know that my gums will recede with ageing. If the gums recede past the implant line then i assume this is a problem and that the implant will need replacing. What are the risks accociated with this in terms of long term structure of the bone etc. How easy is it to replace implants later on if there is excessive gum recession?,
