Q.

Hello I have an issue with my implants, I have recently had two implants in the top front teeth, now the abutments have been fitted and one is located on the front of my gum about 0.5 cm or so up and protruding at 45 degrees towards the left tooth area. The top of this implant has now actually extended into the sinus area and can be seen on the x rays. This is really painful and I do not see how another tooth could ever be fitted to it whilst being in line with the others. Is there potentially a way this can be sorted out or should the implant be removed all together. It is all really painful in the bone and the gum as well after just 5 days, thank you for your time.

Q.
How long should I be in pain after implants are fitted? I had 4 Implants last week and the pain is terrible. What should I do,

Q.
Dr Moore, two days ago I asked you about Implants, thanks very much to answer that question. But would you tell me if I have constante pain since the specialist and the dentist worked out in my implant two and a half years ago and still have pain how painful and costly is the surgery you mention if it is needed?, if I have some kind of infection on the bone?, thanks,

Q.
sir had 3 implants put in 3 weeks ago in lower jaw the farthest teeth back. the 2 farthest back feel fine the 1 closest to the front which seemed to have more lacerations from the surgery still hurts to the point where i have to take 800mg ibuprofen 2-3 times daily. though it seems to be getting slightly better slowly is 3 weeks a long time for there to be pain or is it just normal. i had the stitches taken out last week and the doctor said pain could exist for over a month just wanted a second opinion any info would be greatly appreciated thanks lloyd,

Q.
I have just lost a lower premolar. It was a very difficult extraction over 50 minutes to remove. I am thinking about an implant but nervious about how long it will take to put in an implant and if i will have any instruments or equipment in my mouth whilst the procedure is being done. I understand I will have local anesthetic similar to that used for extraction. What happens to the cut gum while the implant is being positioned? Thank you

Q.
During the recover time or healing time when the implant is given time to settle in is it necessary to keep a soft diet to keep the area from getting irritate? Are we talking about soup and bread and generally soft food?

Q.
I know from reading on here that it takes about three months for the implant to fully heal after it has been placed, but when does the pain from the implant actually stop. That is what I am most concerned about?

Q.
I am all set for my dental implants of which I will be getting two for my top teeth and three for the bottom as well as some bone grafting. My family want me to go on holiday a week after the treatment. Will I be okay to do this? There should be sufficient time to recover from the procedure won’t it?

Q.
I have teeth remove in the past and a few fillings, but what about the dental implants procdure? Is sounds painful. Just how painful are we talking here?

Q.
I understand that dental implants require the use of drills and needles and all that horrible stuff. Do you think that in the near future some of the new laser or pain free technology that is coming into dentistry may make this procedure less scary?
