I’ve Cracked My Dental Crown, What Should I Do?

June 21st, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Moore.
I had a crown placed over a dental implant about 3 years ago, but now it’s cracked! It’s definitely going to fall out, it doesn’t feel secure at all now, and parts of it have started to come off. Obviously I can’t go on like this because I don’t want to cut my tongue or anything and it’s difficult to eat now. I’ve got an appointment with my dentist next Monday, but what should I do between then and now? And what will he say? Thank you.

Can I Have My Implant Taken Out and Put Back In?

June 19th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Glover. I’m just wondering if a loose implant can be placed back in, so the loose implant is really being replaced by the same implant? It started to feel loose just over a month after I had it placed and my dentist said my bone level is fine, but only the tip of the implant is in the bone. I’m not sure if the drilling was done properly but I’m not sure if I can have it replaced with the same implant. What do you think?

I’m a Dentist in the US. Can You Give Me Any Information on Friatec Frialit-2 Dental Implants?

June 18th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I work at an oral surgery practice in the US and have a patient that needs an MRI. She had a Friatec Frialit-2 dental implant placed back in 1998. I’m trying to find information on what metals the implant is made of. At the time those implants were distributed by Interpore International here in the US. I can’t seem to find anything on these implants currently other than they are used in the UK. Hoping you can help me with this.

What’s the Best Option to Fix My Broken Teeth?

June 15th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr McGovern. 
I have a couple of old fillings and about 4 broken teeth that make me feel very self-conscious about my appearance. I shouldn’t have left things as long as I have, but I was too embarrassed to see a dentist. Now I realise I need to sort myself out. What would you suggest my best options are? I’d also like to know how much treatment might cost, and how long it will take. Thank you.

I Need an Implant Replacing, Will Bone Grafting Work?

June 13th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey, hope you can help me. I’m a 52 year old female, I don’t smoke and am in good health. I’ve had a back tooth implant for 9 years, but it has small bone loss and feels sensitive and a bit sore where the gums are exposed.My dentist has suggested gum and bone grafting, but I’ve been doing some research and have read a lot about it either being an impossible procedure or having a very low success rate. Can you offer me further advice to help me come to a decision?

My Dentist Won’t Refer Me For Implants. What Shall I Do?

June 11th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Bohara, I’m hoping you can give me some advice about dental implants. I’m a 55 year old male and have visited two dentists at separate practices within the NHS, and both have decided to remove my problem teeth but neglected to discuss with me the options of dental implants and such. I now have 5 missing teeth and would ideally like implants. I’ve been to see my nearest implant specialist but he says I need to be referred by another dentist, and my current one is adamant I have dentures. I’m not happy with the way the missing teeth make me look. I’d be grateful to hear your advice.

Why am I Still Having Problems 6 Weeks After Treatment?

June 8th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Glover. I recently had an implant retained denture, and was aware that they take quite a long time to get used to. It’s been 6 weeks and I’m still struggling. I gag when I eat and my gums keep bleeding, and my mouth feels sore. I have made an appointment with my dentist for two weeks time but I’d just like a bit of advice before I go. Why do you think I’m still having problems?

My Gums are Bleeding Following Implant Treatment, What Should I Do?

June 7th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I’m hoping you can give me some advice. I had my implants put in about 2 months ago and am aware that they take long than this to fully heal, but my mouth is in a lot of pain. It hurts to eat or even open my mouth, and the gums are bleeding quite a lot.My dentist hasn’t been brilliant when it comes to giving me advice on this, all he does is tell me which pain killers to try.What do you think I should do about this?

I Suffer From Dental Phobia. Can I Have My Teeth Replaced Without Drilling?

June 5th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I hope you can help me. I have a huge phobia of going to the dentist, and because of this I haven’t been to see one for about 7 years. My teeth have started to feel loose and I really don’t know what to do. My phobia means I just couldn’t go through with the implant procedure, it’s too much for me. Is there any way I could have teeth removed and replaced without the use of drilling? Not only am I scared of going to the dentist but I’m also ashamed of my teeth. Please give me all the advice you can.

Can I Get Dental Implants on the NHS?

May 31st, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey. I recently had one of my front teeth taken out, about a month ago. I do have more missing teeth around my mouth, mostly at the bottom but there’s 2 at the top as well. I’m currently seeing an NHS dentist and I am currently unemployed. My teeth make me feel very unhappy and implants would solve all my problems, do you think the NHS will pay for them? They’re too expensive for me to pay for myself.
