My dental implant treatment was unsuccessful, will I need to have a bone graft?

January 16th, 2013
Q.

i recently went for four titanium implants which were inserted but woul not bite into the bone so when it was attempted to insert the screw to the implant the implant merely turned with the screwing action.The bone appeared to be to soft for the implant to grip. The implant could not be screwed deeper due to the location of my sinuses and nose, I would like to know if there is an alternative implant that would overcome this problem preferably without the need of bone grafting and given that the problem is soft bone would bone grafting be any use anyway.

Can I get implants to replace upper denture?

January 12th, 2011
Q.
Dr Moore, I am in my 50’s and am considering replacing my upper denture(almost full arch) with dental implants. I have been informed that I would need a bone graft and a sinus augmentation to do the implants. As I have an aging mouth with poor lip support, deep laugh lines and marionette lines due to the loss of teeth and use of denture for about 30 years, kindly advise whether dental implants with bone augmentation can help to provide better lip support and alleviate the laugh and marionette lines. Thanks.,
