A. Unfortunately even with the aid of diagnostic imaging it\’s not possible to be 100% certain. The use of a CT-Scan gives a better indication of the amount of bone available for placing the dental implants. Regards.

A. It would be worth coming to the clinic for an x-ray and 2nd opinion regarding all the options as you have various choices which depend greatly on the condition of the teeth and bone

A. dental technology has changed dramatically over the years i have closed gaps with braces, dental veneers,crowns and bridges we have also combined the trreatment options above with dental implant to close gaps this option is not too extreme it is not possible to give you a fee scale from the information you have provided we offer a free consultation with free x-rays please contact the surgery asap to avail this offer the contact details are available on our wesite www.sonidentalimplants.co.uk i hope this has been helpful Dr Mukesh Soni

A. Hola, I don\’t offer Zygomatic implants a there are often other ways of providing implants without them. If you would like to e mail an x-ray I would be very happy to take a look for you Andrew

A. Hi thanks for your question. It\’s correct that there is a nerve that runs through the lower jaw and it\’s very important to avoid placing implants where they may damage this nerve. There are a variety of types of implants that come in differing widths and lengths to make use of available bone. In cases where there perhaps is concern about the location of this nerve a CT scan may be taken which allows a 3D view of the bone and structure and can be used for guided surgery where the implants are virtually placed using the help of computer software which can then be sent to produce a surgical guide. I would ensure that you discuss with the dentist and ensure that you are fully aware of how the treatment will progress. Ask your dentist if they have treated other cases like yours and what the success rate will be. I hope that this helps. Regards George Glover

A. Hi thanks for your question. It’s difficult to give you a clear answer without a detailed consultation. Generally speaking there needs to be enough bone to support the dental implant, bone can be lost for a number of reasons such as gum disease or when a tooth is lost the bone will naturally remodel. It may be that bone augmentation procedures may be required and would then allow for implants to be placed. The best thing to do would be to have a consultation with a dentist who has experience of complex cases with dental implants. It’s likely that you’ll need some x-rays and possibly a CT Scan which will allow the dentist to assess the bone levels. I hope that this helps. Regards George Glover

A. If the bone is healthy then an implant would be a good solution for you youwill need an assessment and x ray to find out, ask your dentist or if you’re in my area I would be happy to take a look for you
