Why Do My Dental Implants Keep Coming Loose?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr. Moore. I had two dental implants to which a bridge of 5 teeth were screwed to. This was 18 months ago, and now they keep coming loose. This has happened about 10 times and the dentist who keeps re-tightening them says the problem is that the 5 teeth have only two teeth to mesh with, as my lower back teeth are missing. I wondered what you think, as sometimes they come loose within a day and other times they stay tight for up to 6 weeks. Thanks you.

Which Is The Better Option Between All-On-4 And Implants For Dentures?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. I had my teeth removed a number of years ago, and have been wearing dentures ever since. I find these incredibly uncomfortable and have been looking at the different options available for a more stable replacement. I am torn between All-On-4 and implants for dentures. Which, in your opinion, is the best choice for me? Thank you for your time, any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

I Have Little Money For Implants, Why Won’t My Dentist Refer Me? Should I Seek A Second Opinion?

September 25th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey. My dentist will not refer me to kings college for referral for implants. My dentures make me gag. I can’t really afford to pay but could pay a little towards them. Please help me as I am desperate walking around with no teeth and I feel ashamed and I just cover my mouth up when talking to anyone. When I asked for a referral the first time, I only had a few teeth were missing but my dentist still wouldn’t. Can you have a second opinion when it comes to a dentist? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Will The NHS Give Me Implants?

March 1st, 2014
Q.

I recently had 2 of my front teeth out. I have had a plate made, while healing is done. I constantly feel sick. I also have 3 other teeth missing , back teeth, from a long time ago. I am with an NHS dentist, I am in receipt of working tax credit. I live alone, and this could work out very expensive for me. please could you give me some good advice. cannot keep these dentures, I feel sick all the time and don’t enjoy food any more. They are really ruining everyday life for me now and I just feel like it’s unfair and that something could be done about it.

Would teeth extraction eliminate recurring abscess?

January 19th, 2014
Q.

I have two problem teeth (one either side of the upper front two) that have been root canal filled but routinely abcess (once/twice every year). Each time I get on a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection but suffer pain for several days before the abcess clears. My dentist has rec ommended extraction but I dont really want dentures and cant have a bridge as I already have one for the front two teeth and cant extend anymore. My questions are: (a) will extraction definitely eliminate the abcess? (b) can I still have abcsesses even after an implant? I have been suffering abcesses for several years and now want a long term solution that doesn’t involve dentures!

January 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello. Can you please help me with my dental situation. Can u have implants if you have got gum disease and how much would it cose for a complete set of implants and can’t i be a guinea pig for anyone. I am forty nine years old and really self-concious about my smile and I also hate going out because of this.

And dentures make me retch all the time so it wouid be good if you could reccomend what would be good alternative for my situation or if you could reccomend me to someone to be a guinea pig for them so I can get my teeth fixed and be happy with my smile.

My tooth was knocked out by my dog in an accident. Implants are too expensive. Can you advise?

September 29th, 2013
Q.

Hello, my dog identically knocked my front tooth out and I’ve been given a denture now after the accident which I really hate. I smile a lot plus recently have become unemployed. I’m in desperate need of a dental implant so could you please let me know of a dentist who does 0% finance options fot the unemployed if possible because this denture is noticeable and has crushed my confidence completely. Please help me with this situation. I live in Southall and I;ve checked all around here and have found that they are over priced and definitely don’t help the unemployed in any shape or form.
Thank you

I have not been to the dentist in years because I am petrified of my dentist. Can you help?

September 29th, 2013
Q.

I am absolutely petrified of a dentist consequently have not been for years and my teeth are now loose. I don’t know what to do and am very scared. I know I could not have implants because I just could not cope with it I know that, is there any way if I lost a front tooth I could have a false one without drilling into my bone please? I’m also now ashamed to go to the dentist and it has been so long and my teeth are so bad.

Many thanks

I need to replace my missing tooth, what are my options and what problems would occur if I just left the gap?

February 5th, 2013
Q.

Dear Doctor, I have had a pre-molar extracted from the right side of my mouth after having root canal treatment which couldn’t save the tooth as it had decayed too much. I now have a gap within my mouth. What ar emy options going forward? I’ve read up about dental implants but don’t know what the cost of having a dental implant for just one tooth would be? Can you provide a rough estimate? Secondly, are there any options for replacing this one tooth other than a dental implant? Finally if I decided to do nothing and lived with the gap will it be detrimental to my other teeth? Regards

A.

Are dental implants a viable option for me?

January 5th, 2013
Q.

I am thinking of having implants, however first I think I would need to lose my four front upper teeth because they are crowns and becoming wobbly. I do not want to have an upper denture because my dentist made me one for the back teeth and I am constantly heaving and feel as though I am choking. I have a lower denture which has taken some time to get used to and am also thinking of having at least 8 implants on my bottom jaw. I am petrifyed of the dentist and get extremely anxious to the point I have panic attacks although this is not all the time. I would like to receive further information and pricing. I am 43 years old and my teeth are not in great shape. I have only 8 teeth on the upper jaw and 6 on the lower jaw. If you do not have immediate loading will you have to go without teeth during the healing process and how much would i all cost and can you pay in installments or is that unacheivable because I currently am a mature student.
