Is there any way to replace NHS bridge that isn’t too expensive?

July 15th, 2011
Q.
Hi, I was wondering can you please help me. I am 23 years old and when I was 17 I was given a bridge on my front 4 teeth on the NHS. I had perfect teeth apart from these which I had problems with – some adult ones not developing properly/also I would grind them in my sleep. At the time I remember not liking the bridge – it felt \’fake\’ and looked to me, quite like an elderly person would wear without causing offence. It made smiling \’ok\’ but not what I\’d hoped. I\’d gone through having braces previously & am even more disappointed with the bridge years later as at the gumline it is starting to get really, really dark & you can see a hole/metal at the top. I\’ve made an appt with my dentist to discuss this but I\’m guessing she\’s going to tell me things are fine/as it is more of a cosmetic problem I have with it. My q is please – I am receiving benefits at the moment for another medical issue. I dont have a lot of money. Is there any options to replace an awful NHS bridge? Seeing it is \’fixed\’ etc. I see so many people having smile makeovers with veneers/implants etc. Do the NHS do this for people like me do you know? Or do sometimes private dentists offer free makeovers if they can use before/afters? Thank you.,

Why did implant fail? Am I allergic?

July 15th, 2011
Q.
My dental implant on my anterior #9 has failed. The implant was originally placed in my mouth roughly 5-7 years ago. I do not smoke, and I take very good care of my teeth. I recently went back to go see my periodontist due to puss and infrequent bleeding of the implant gum tissue. The puss and bleeding in the gum could not be controlled no matter what I tried. I went back to my periodontist to try and fix this situation, but unfortunately the implant could not be saved. My periodontist says the implant failed due to a breakdown of the hydroxyapatite coating on the implant. He tells me that the breakdown of the hydroxyapatite coating on the implant caused an allergic reaction that lead to the degeneration of the bone in the infected area, and thus causing the inflamed tissue. When the implant was removed, he said that there was no bone left in the area, and that the implant was held in place by inflammed tissue. I have recently had a bone graft done, and will likely need another one. My questions are this: How do I know for sure this is the reason that the implant failed? Or was I allergic to the implant metal itself? Or was it something else? Is there a test I can require him to perform to find out what I am allergic to? How do I know that the next implant wont have the same issue? Being that my implant is in the very front of my mouth, I am very insecure about the way it looks. Is another implant still the best option for my situation? Or is a bridge a better option for my case? My periodontist isn\’t keen on doing a bridge because the two teeth on either side of the area have never been touched, or even had a cavity. It would mean filing down to perfectly healthy teeth. Please help. I feel lost and I am not sure what I should do next.,

Is it possible to switch from a full upper removable denture over 6 implants to permanent fixed teeth?

July 14th, 2011
Q.
Hello, Is it possible to switch from a full upper arch removable denture over 6 implants to permanent fixed teeth on the same implants? Are there any disadvantages to having fixed teeth eg the effect on maintaining good hygiene and the possibility of infection if they are a permanent fixture as opposed to being able to remove the denture for proper cleaning? Lastly, would it be expensive to switch from a removable denture to fixed teeth. Thank you. Thank you.,
