My Dental Implant Crown Keeps Coming Loose. Have You Ever Heard Of This Happening?

January 19th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey, I hope you can help me. My dental implant crown has come loose 4 times in the last year and the screw has been tightened each time which only lasts a few weeks at a time. Have you ever heard of this happening? Twice it has happened while I was flossing under it. It doesn’t hurt at all, it’s just the crown is coming loose which worries me. Any advice? Can we glue that screw in there?My dentist is considering ordering some new part but he told me he has never seen this before. Thanks.

The Gaps On My Bottom Set Seem To Be Getting Wider, What Can I Do To Close Them?

January 10th, 2015
Q.

Hello Andrew. I have gaps between my front, bottom teeth. They are widening or just getting smaller from erosion. Can you tell me what treatments are there best suited for covering the gap for this case? It’s an urgent case, as I am not aware of any site discussing issues regarding the bottom set of teeth, usually just the upper teeth is more discussed in regards to gaps. I would like to know the solution to it and possibly the potential cost of treatment? Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing your reply.

I Have Recently Had A Bridge Attached To My Implants And I’ve Developed A Lisp. How Long Will It Take To Go Away?

January 3rd, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey. I have recently had a bridge attached to my implants. I had a denture of four teeth replaced after 40 years. I have an awful lisp and I can’t see it going. I know it will take time for me to get used to the difference of how the teeth feel as opposed to my dentures but at the moment all I can feel is this thick block in my mouth and my tongue feels it has no room in my mouth! How long am I likely to have this lisp and should the bridge feel that thick at the back of it? Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me by offering some advice.
