I Have Fibromyalgia. Can I Have Dental Implants?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I have fibromyalgia so I’m in a lot of pain all the time. My teeth are not in the best state because to be perfectly honest I have just let myself go. However, I am looking into dental implants to replace all the teeth in my mouth, but I’m worried that my condition means that I can’t have them. Can you please offer me some advice? I am looking for a specialist who can help me in the Manchester area, do you know of any? If not I am willing to travel for the right dentist who can help. Thank you for your time!

Can I Get A Dental Implant At The Age Of 17?

February 23rd, 2015
Q.

I wore braces for almost 3 years. I was told that one of my teeth will never form into an adult tooth meaning that I will have a gap. My dentist has partly filled the gap by essentially making the tooth next to the gap bigger because at the time they said I was too young for an implant. I am now 17 and would really like to know whether or not I would be able to get an implant in your opinion as the gap really affects my confidence, so I would love to get it sorted.

I Have A Loose Implant And My Dentist Is Away. Should I Wait For Him To Return Or See Another Dentist Immediately?

February 7th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I had an implant fitted 4 years ago and it was fine until recently. However the implant now is very wobbly and I can’t eat or chew anything. Unfortunately my implant dentist is out of town until late next week. Is it okay to wait until he returns or should I see any other dentist immediately?
Please note: I had a routine dental checkup with another dentist last week and there was no problem at all.
Please give me some advice regarding the causes of the loose implant. Thank you.

Can I Have Braces With My Dental Implant?

February 3rd, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey. Just a quick question. Is there any way I can have braces with my dental implant? I understand it won’t move that tooth at all but I’m worried that the braces may cause it to come loose or damage the crown which is on top of the implant. Have you known this to happen before? I would just love some general ideas before I visit my dentist for a consultation, so I know what to talk about when when I go to visit him. Thank you for your time in advance and I hope you don’t think this is a stupid question. 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.

How Much Do Lower Fixed Dentures Usually Cost And Can My Normal Dentist Do It?

December 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Kalpesh, can you help me please? How much do lower fixed dentures cost and can my normal dentist do it? I am worried about getting lower dentures and it not staying in place or falling out. I have only got a few lower teeth and they are quite rotten/ bad. I already have top denture. I have been brave and gone to dentist but feel so ashamed and embarrassed because I’m fed up getting abscesses, etc and I want to be confident again when I smile. I would be grateful for any advice or information you can offer me. Thank you.

My Mum Has Severe Dry Mouth Symptoms After Having All-On-4 Implants. Why Has This Happened?

December 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey,

My Mum recently had the 4 dental implant treatment. Initially she was delighted with the results and how great they look but unfortunately she’s now experiencing severe dry mouth symptoms and the implants have begun to discolour. Her dentist has said that it is not due to the implants and that he’s never had a patient to complain about dry mouth before. He had to replace the bottom implants due to the discolouration and it looks like he’s going to do the same with the top set. Could he have damaged a nerve going to the saliva gland during the insertion procedure? I think the lack of Saliva is causing the discolouration but surely he would know this. Any advice on how to proceed?

Regards.

I Cut My Gum A Year Ago But Now It’s Very Sore. How Can I Get Financial Help To Fix This?

October 16th, 2014
Q.

After cutting my lower gum on a French stick a year ago it overgrew as it healed. It’s very sore when biting into any toast. My dentist said I just have to put up with it but it is impossible to brush near it and it has worsened now. Would a gingivectomy help? Can I get periodontist help through the NHS? It is making me miserable when I eat. I never had any fillings or gum trouble before and I have seen my dentist for two 6 monthly check ups and both times he’s said there is nothing he can do. Without my dentist’s help, how would I get an NHS referral? I imagine privately will be very expensive.

After Dental Implant Treatment, I’ve Experienced Gum To Jaw Discomfort. How Long Does It Take To Heal?

October 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Bohara, I could really do with some good advice from a professional such as yourself. I lost my tooth around 2 months ago, and my dentist put an implant in two weeks ago. But it was inserted a little deep, so it touched the nerve. He removed it and put a short one just 3 days after.
The numbness from bottom left teeth, gum to jaw give me discomfort. I hope it’s not permanent damage, but wonder how long will it take this nerve damage cure? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide me with.

I Recently Lost A Tooth To An Accident, But Now I Have Two Different Consultations On What To Do Next?

August 14th, 2014
Q.

Dr. Fahey, I recently lost a tooth due to an accident. I’m 36 years old. I saw two dentists, both recommended implants. One said I need a Bio-Col ridge preservation technique done at the same time as tooth extraction, the other said a bone graft is sufficient. What is the difference? Is ridge preservation needed? The second dentist also said the bone graft should be done 3 weeks after the tooth extraction. Which treatment option is better? Thanks.
