What is your opinion on Bicon implants? Can you advise on my case?

March 9th, 2011
Q.
i have had 4 front teeth on a plate for 27 yrs and now have a failing crown and have been to 2 dentists for an assesment. 1st one said im not suitable for implants as i need 4 surgeries and he cant gaurantee its success (he didnt even take an xray) the 2nd one has said i dont need grafting as he uses bicon short implants. i need 6 teeth and he says i need 6 implants – is this right? and do bicon short implants usually do away with grafting? and finally the 2nd dentist did take several xrays/photos but says i dont need a ct scan, but ive read sevaral times that i should have one – is this true?,

I am getting implants after an infection, could the implants become infected?

February 9th, 2011
Q.
1) I am considering implants because of infection in root canala of nos 5 & 6 upper left molars. After extraction, is there a risk of the implants becoming infected from the original infection? 2) If one implant holds two teeth, will there be bone loss because of less chewing pressure on that bit of jaw? 3) I had a panoramic X-ray in January 2011, should I bring it to a first consultation?,

I feel that the quoted price to replace my crown with an implant is excessive. Or would you say it is accurate?

October 11th, 2010
Q.
I have had a crown on my front tooth for around 14 years. It has become loose in the last 5 years and I have had to have it re adhered several times (s ince pregnancy). Xrays show that the root canal has two fractures in it where the rod sits. I have been told the best possible course of action is an implant. I had the moulds taken and measurements and xrays etc and paid £150 for this and then was given a breakdown of costs for this – for a ceramic post etc I am quoted £2650. This seems somewhat excessive. Is this about right? I cannot justify this on one tooth.,

My implant failed and no one seems able to give me practical advice. What should I do?

September 16th, 2010
Q.
I had 3 Bicon implants at LL5 & 6 and LR4. The latter failed within days. The other two survived. However, after they were crowned recently I began to smell a rat because dentist would not show me post-implant x-rays. Long story short, LL6 is half in-half out, hence the reason for the odd sensation, and another dentist has confirmed that it will fail. There is also a 6mm pocket there, which I believe will aid further bone loss. After many years regular crowns failed and they were not replaced by anything. My upper jaw has enough depth apparently but ridge is too narrow. What to do? No one seems able to give me practical advice. I am 59.,

My dentist isn’t certain if I should have a bone graft or not, what should I do?

August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have had x-rays, ct scan and the thickness of my bone measured. I have been told that I should not need a bone graft but he could not say for certain until he opens up the gum, is this true? I thought these tests would prove whether bone grafting is required or not. As when he opens up gum and procedes if he said it is required the the price rises alot.,
