Is my 18 year old daughter able to have the dental implant treatment?

December 22nd, 2012
Q.

my 18 year old daughter needs a single upper left 2 implant, due to a missing tooth. What is the minimum age for her to have this procedure please? She has had the necessary orthodontic treatment and her braces are now removed. Her regular dentist has put a Maryland bridge on to replace the missing toothe but occasionally it pops off (every 2 or 3 months) I would also be interested to know who you would recommend in the Altrincham are to carry out this procedure, and what the approximate cost might be. She has a healthy bone structure and no other dental problems.

My dentist removed more teeth than I expected and now I do not know what to do?

December 22nd, 2012
Q.

As a teenager I was told I needed two teeth removing. Due to my fear of the procedure I have it done under general anaesthetic on the NHS. When I awake I found they’d taken 6 and I had not given consent to do so. My dentist said only 2 needed to be removed and the rest could be saved. Since then I’ve lost another 2 which have just crumbled away. Losing so many teeth has affected my speech and now at 29 I don’t ha d the confidence to talk to people. I don’t have thousands of pounds for implants and I am so angry with the NHS for putting me in this position. What options do I have please? My NHS dentist can’t help.

What is the rate of success with dental implants?

October 21st, 2012
Q.

As stated on this website, that the subperiosteal and plate form implants have a high failure rate. Can you please state the failure rates for each implant type as a percentage. What other factors affect the succes rate of implants? ie are there chemicals in tooth paste or other oral products that can affect the implants? What are the disadvantages of having implants over dentures? Any additional information that you can provide to help me answer my EPQ question, which is “What is the best way to replace missing teeth?”

What is the best option for the permanent replacement of dentures?

September 15th, 2012
Q.

I have had a partial denture since the age of 16 – 4 front upper teeth and also have gaps on either side. This denture has sunk a little so it looks like I have fangs either side and is a little loose although that doesn’t cause any real problems. The current denture has lasted quite a long time but my dentist did some extraction work and didnt really seem interested in looking into the replacement of the denture at that time – it was mentioned but not part of the NHS treatment on offer? So now I am looking to have something more permanent and aesthetically pleasing. Can you advise what the options maybe ? I am now 53 yrs of age

Implants might be a good solut… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have an uneven bite due to a misaligned jaw how do I solve it?

July 6th, 2012
Q.

I have a Maliclusion of my jaw and have had to have teeth ? 2 extracted on upper left back teeth and ? 2 lower right back. giving me an uneven bite and no real means to chew properly. I am 59 yrs. young and as far as I am aware a good jaw bone etc. I was on a NHS waiting list for implants, then was removed as they no longer do implants on NHS. Because of the expense I have thought of going abroad to Poland, yet here in the U.K. is just as big a mine field to find a good Implant dentist can you give me a rough idea of costs and how to find a good implant dentist (I’ll travel to where ever) or could I solve some of the problem by having implants on the upper or on lower jaw only ?

I had 4 implants but one tooth is still a gap. What is the best solution?

May 1st, 2012
Q.
Hello. I have a question for you Dr Glover. I had 4 teeth pulled out in the upper front of my mouth. I now have 4 dental implants and now I am waiting to have 4 teeth put actually I am missing a fifth tooth. This is ending up costing me alot of money. The extractions and the implants were reasonable but replacing the lost teeth is very costly. I don’t know the best solution to my problem.,

Can my child get dental implants on the NHS to replace submerging teeth?

March 25th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Andrew Moore. My son is ten years old and has six permanent teeth that are missing and that will  not erupt. Soon he is going to have ten primary teeth removed as some are now submerging. He is under a restorititive and orthadontist consultant at the National Health Servicve. They have not been forthcoming on the future treatment and what may eventually happen at this stage of time. Is there a chance that he could have implants as he has an incisor and a canine missing within the six missing. What is the situation on dental implants and the NHS? Do the NHS perform implants on children due to cost and age? Thank you for your time.,

Can I replace all my teeth with implants because I have gum disease?

March 17th, 2012
Q.
Dr Moore, I am currently suffering from gum disease; it has now reached the stage where I am starting to lose teeth. I have already lost three teeth from my top jaw and have a further one now loose. I have a plate with the replacement teeth but find this denture set uncomfortable and un-hygienic, is it possible to have all my teeth replaced with permanent implants and would you please let me have an indication of the cost for this procedure. Many thanks in advance. ,
