I am experiencing some pressure from an Implant I had fitted 7 years ago, should I be worried?

November 30th, 2012
Q.

Hi, about 7 years ago I had a bone graft followed by an upper lateral incisor implant done. I periodically experience pain above the actual implant. The type of pain is like an ache and increases when I press on the upper gums. The pain also radiates behind my nose. Could this type of pain just be sinus pressure, or could it be directly related to the implant procedure? The implant seems quite solid and strong, however bone loss is always a concern for me since the bone graft procedure. However, I’m only 25 years old. The gums look quite healthy from what I can tell. Any help or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Is there any way to have dental implant treatment on the NHS?

November 30th, 2012
Q.

I had a stroke 16 years ago and lost the use of my arm.As a result I now do everything using my good arm and my teeth.Because of this,my teeth have all began to break and loosen.Would I qualify to have implants done on the N.H.S as a medical emergency as my quality? of life will be drastically reduced without the use of my teeth and would implants be strong enough.I currently have 5 teeth veneered but they keep breaking.I have 2 teeth missing already and another 4 that are possibly going to have to be removed.Would I just need to replace the missing ones or would I be better off having all my teeth removed and full implants ?.I am 46 years of age.

Is it nessessary to have a full set implant in the upper jaw or can I get just the front few done?

November 27th, 2012
Q.

I have only two natural teeth left in upper jaw. I used to have 4 crowns in the front but after many years the root couldn’t hold the teeth anymore. I’ve had them removed. I’d like implants. I’m 56 years old. Can I get just about 8 teeth for comestic purposes in the front. Or must I have the whole top of mouth done. I have lived without back teeth for a long time. I got my crowns done because of broken front teeth in my twenties. I do not have any gum desease.
On the lower jaw I have 9 teeth left. I’m more concerned with the upper ones. I have a small front artificial upper plate, as I cannot bear the full one. Is it nessessary to have a full set implant in the upper jaw or can I get just the front few done. Than you.

I am not happy with my dental implants, but my dentist won’t listen, what can I do?

November 18th, 2012
Q.

Hello. I am hoping for some advice from a dental expertise in implants. I have spent a lot of money on having my whole mouth made over including three front implants. I now am not satisfied with the outcome, as my gums seem to have changed and my teeth look very long, and the position has changed in my mouth and different from the old look. I feel and wish my dental doctor had explained how gums could change or shrink and showed me the teeth before she put them into my mouth finally. I am very unhappy with the color and with the placement. My dentist thinks they look good so she thinks I should be happy. What should do. many thanks

Are dental implants an option for me, after my illness?

November 18th, 2012
Q.

Hello. Thank you for all the information on the website here dentalimplant.co.uk and would like to ask. It is stated that a dental school may take you on as a patient, please can I have list of places?

I am not sure of the cost of implants and know that I need one or maybe even five.

I had beautiful teeth that I paid over 3,000 for five years ago. They were veneers. I fell ill three years ago with Trigeminal Neuralgia and the operation went wrong and ended up with further complications. My teeth due to the very nature of what I have, began to deteriorate since falling ill.

So have many questions having sobbed all morning with an implant breaking and just had enough of the illness. Can I have implants with what I have ? Can you get finance for teeth if just for a while you are not on a massive income?

If the answer to the last, is possible if I cannot find a dentist school to take me on, then please can I have an appointment?

I have never been so low as before falling sick was such an upcoming law student in my final year and it is amazing how quickly your life is taken from you and right now trying to manage and just want to be able to smile again.

If implants are possible – please can I have a reply, Thank you.

Am I a suitable candidate for bone grafting and dental implants?

Q.

i am 43 and have very severe gum disease which has resulted in me losing quite a few teeth. I have, as a result lost a lot of bone and wear a partial denture. i was considering a fixed denture or implants but my dentist is not qualified in the bone grafting needed to make this option possible. it is causing me some distress now and i’m finding it hard to get the proper advice. could you explain whether bone grafting and implants may be an option and how successful this process is. I am a smoker, but am taking steps to quit. Can you help?

There is a gap between my dental implants and my gums, is this normal?

November 17th, 2012
Q.

I have recently had implants to two front teeth. The problem is when smiling I have a high lip line and because the teeth don’t actually enter the gums there are small gaps which when smiling my friends say look like black areas instead of seeing pink gums. Is this right or should they have rebuilt up the gums to look more natural. Also I feel saliva building up and blowing through the gaps. Surely this cant be right.
