Is It Possible To Have My Two Front Teeth Extracted And Replaced With Straighter Implants?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I am looking for assistance regarding my two front teeth. One of them is crowned and the other is capped. I used to wear a brace but over time they have started to go back to where they were before. I would like these two teeth extracted and two new ones put in their place, but put in straight. I have read about implants and am wondering if it is possible to extract my two front teeth and replace then straighter with implants? I’d love to know your opinion! Thank you!

What Qualifications Should I Look For In A Dentist Who Can Supply Dental Implants?

May 16th, 2014
Q.

Hi, I was wondering if you would be willing to offer me some advice? I have recently have had my tooth extracted as there was crack and severe infection in the gums which the Dentist has cleared. In trying to clear the infection from the gums, he had to “dig” into the gums and this has created a deep hole. He has asked me to wait for three months to heal. After that he will talk with me the options of replacement. He is suggesting a dental implant. I am not sure, because by taking out the infected gum, this has left a deep cut. Please advise.

What qualifications should I look out for in a dentist who would do dental implants? I don’t know where to start! Many thanks.

If the infection has returned is tooth extraction and the placement of an inevitable?

November 17th, 2013
Q.

I have had a failed root canal treatment. The endodontist removed it and bleached it and then sealed it up again. He said I would need a dental crown, but that I should leave it for a few months as there was a danger the infection would return, in which case I will have wasted my money on the crown. Two months later the thing has started to hurt again, so I’m pretty sure that it has become infected again. Does this mean that tooth extraction is now inevitable?And once the tooth is gone, can I be sure there il be no recurrence of infection?I would like an implant, but not if thre was a cance of infection under it. How long after extraction should n implant be carried ut, if the tooth is infected? Thank you for your time and I hope you can help.

Would my dad be able to get dental implants put in if his dentists knocked two other teeth out while extracting another tooth?

July 17th, 2013
Q.

Hi my dad went to the dentist to get one tooth taken out, in doing this the dentist actually broke his crown straight off and the bridge next to it. they said they would fix this and they have given him a pallot. Would he be able to get dental implants put in for free on the two teeth that were knocked out seen as though it isnt his fault. Surely he should have to pay to have these teeth fixed as it wasnt his fault they were taken out? i was wondering is there anything we can do or will he have to pay for treatment ?

Hi Dr MooreI fell over last Monday and have sustained a horizontal crack in 1 of the teeth directly next to my 2 front teeth (not sure of the name sorry). My teeth are perfectly healthy but the crack is horizontal right across the middle of the tooth

Q.

Hi Dr Moore I fell over last Monday and have sustained a horizontal crack in 1 of the teeth directly next to my 2 front teeth (not sure of the name sorry). My teeth are perfectly healthy but the crack is horizontal right across the middle of the tooth just on the gum line. My dentist said it needs to be completely removed!!! And recommended having an implant. Is this my only option? Can’t the tooth not be saved?! And if not how soon do I need the procedure? I am due to go on holiday in 2 weeks to Thailand for 3 weeks. Can I leave the procedure of tooth removal and implant till then? Many thanks for your time une reading this. I am massively gutted about the whole incident so any help or advice would be greatly received. Thank you

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.

My requirements: a) Root canal therapy two canals-cast post and core – crown preparation and impression -porcelain bonded Br non-precious or b) a complex extraction or c) and implant.
The particular tooth in question is the end one of a row of crowns, it is painful and being treated at the moment with antibiotic. I have to decide soon as to which option I choose.
