Q.

Dr Glover,
I am considering the All on 4 implants to upper and lower jaws. I have 14 teeth which need removing, I currently have a denture of 4 teeth on the upper jaw along with 7 natural teeth which are in poor condtion. On the lower jaw I have 8 teeth and no denture I can provide an x ray and would just like an idea of costs.
I suffer with gum disease and severe bone loss I have had a number of consultations which would require me to travel to various parts of Europe which I would like to avoid if possible

Q.

I had 2 midi implants fitted…1 failed and the other has had a crown fitted but the gum seems to be receeding and it looks like the bone is going around the implant. I am worried that the implant has caused this and will show through. I have been told wait and see but what if it does? what can be done? To take it out would mean further bone loss and then what..as I would still have the problem with the gum. i have been told gum grafts dont work well. I am to have a bone graft on the side that the midi implant failed (from another dentist) and 2 full implants fitted but i am now having second thoughts as I am desperately worried about this gum problem. Is there a really good denture that I could have fitted instead? I have only been given the usual ones. I would be most grateful for any advice. Many thanks

Q.

I have had my four bottom front between my K9′s pulled due to bone loss and have been told that because of the bone loss I’m not a candidate for implants. I was wondering is there anything other a fixed bridge that could work for me? I heard that there is now a denture that snaps on over your existing teeth. If so do you know the price range for them?
thank you for taking the time to read my message and for any help you can give me dr moore

Q.

hello

I am looking to get implants to hold my dentures in place, but am really nervous when it comes to the dentist. How is this procedure usually performed, how invasive is it and can i have sedation to help calm my nerves?
I really, really want to have the treatment to stop my dentures from rubbing my gums raw, so i will try anything to help me have the procedure

thank you Dr Moore

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,

Q.
I have been assessed as needing 4 inplants in my top jaw. At present I have a denture for 3 of the missing teeth. Could you tell me if after the first stage of implants is completed, I will be able to wear my denture straight away or will my mouth be too swollen.,

Q.
I was unlucky enough to think I was going under anesthetic to have loads of fillings when I was fifteen. To my horror my parents had been convinced that I needed all my upper teeth removed, which is what I woke to find had happened. so I have had a full denture since then and am now 50! still have a terrible fear of dentists and have not seen one for twenty years through shame as well as fear. have I been with dentures for too long to be able to have implants? or at least implants to secure a better denture? HELP!!!!!!,
