Hi, I Had Implants A Few Years Ago, But Recently I’ve Had A Dull Pain In The Gum, Why Is This?

July 30th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Bohara, the issue I’d like to discuss with you is that I had a couple of tooth implants fitted about two years back on my lower jaw and they worked fine up until now, as for the last three weeks or so I have noticed that there is a swelling in the gum below the implant and a dull pain in the gum. The tooth implant itself does not ache and I am able to bite normally. There is no reaction to cold or hot fluids and neither is there any bleeding of any sort, so I am at odds to explain what it is that’s wrong. I would really like any information on this and will appreciate advice. Thank you.

Hi. I Am Desperate For An Implant! The Only Issue Is That I Suffer From SVT, And I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Treat Me?

July 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey. I want to tell you that I am really desperate for an implant! The only issue is that I suffer from regular SVT, especially when I’m panicked/nervous which often causes me to pass out. I’m looking for someone who can try to treat a patient like me? Would it be more suitable for me to be placed under sedation? Or will that only cause further heart problems? Can you please offer me some advice? I would be very grateful if you could help. I just want to be able to smile properly again, without any gaps! Thank you, I really hope you can help me sort this out.

I Have An Implant Which Aches Occasionally. What Could Be The Cause Of This?

July 19th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, my problem is that I have an implant that aches off and on. It has ached occasionally for the last 18 months. It has been in place for four years. I need it to be used as part of a bridge since the tooth next to it is missing. The missing tooth is one of the implants that came out. There is not enough bone left to put another implant in. Do you think something is wrong with the implant?
What would make it ache in this way. It only does it occasionally. I originally had four implants and so far three of them came out. I had bone grafting as well and the grafting has now deteriorated. Thank you in advance for your reply. I hope you can help me with this.

Should I Get Mini Or Full Dental Implants?

May 29th, 2014
Q.

I have been to two dental practices about receiving implants. I have both my front teeth missing due to a car accident I was involved in. Anyway, one practice has recommended mini implants while the other has recommended full implants. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know which one is the right suggestion. Do you have any idea about what I should do? I don’t want to be overcharged and I feel that’s what the other practice is doing (the one giving me the full implants) they said I don’t have enough bone to support the mini implants, does this impact upon receiving them? Thank you for your time.

What Qualifications Should I Look For In A Dentist Who Can Supply Dental Implants?

May 16th, 2014
Q.

Hi, I was wondering if you would be willing to offer me some advice? I have recently have had my tooth extracted as there was crack and severe infection in the gums which the Dentist has cleared. In trying to clear the infection from the gums, he had to “dig” into the gums and this has created a deep hole. He has asked me to wait for three months to heal. After that he will talk with me the options of replacement. He is suggesting a dental implant. I am not sure, because by taking out the infected gum, this has left a deep cut. Please advise.

What qualifications should I look out for in a dentist who would do dental implants? I don’t know where to start! Many thanks.

I Have Had Three Teeth Removed But Cannot Get A Referral For My Implant Dentist, Help?

May 9th, 2014
Q.

Hello there, I wonder if you could give me advice regarding Dental Implants. I am a 40 year old female and having wasted valuable time with two local dentists who, both NHS, have decided to remove teeth rather than advise on bridges, implants etc. I am now faced with a possible need for 3 lower dental implants. I cannot go to my local dental implant specialist as apparently I need to be referred to them from my existing dentist, who is refusing to do so and is pushing for tooth removal and dentures. I am becoming more paranoid with the gaps in my teeth, although they are luckily not near the front I am conscious people can see the gaps and this is affecting my work and social life. Please advise, many thanks in advance!

Gum Disease Has Ruined My Mouth, Should I Have A Plate Or Dental Implants?

May 1st, 2014
Q.

Over twenty years ago I had bridges on my top teeth on the left and right sides. I developed gum disease around three years ago under the bridge and had to have the middle part of the bridge removed. I still have the bridge attached to the teeth at either side and a gap in the middle where this tooth was removed. The gum disease has also affected where the bridged part remains and the gum has receded so much that there is 4-5mm of the the original tooth that they were attached to showing, these are painful to touch and a black colour. What treatment would be the best way forward as one of the remaining teeth has also become loose so I am going to have gaps from three teeth missing. My dentist has said I should have these teeth taken out and have a plate which I do not want. I would like implants apart from the cost, but is it better for me to have implants inserted straight after the teeth get taken out or would it still be possible to have them done in future and have a plate till then, also would implants be possible with the gum disease I have got, I am worried that i have implants and then they do not work because of the gum disease.

How Can I Maximise My Implant Success Rate?

April 18th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Bohara I am considering getting a dental implant soon and am doing a little investigation into treatment success rates first. I’m looking for some expert advice on what can go wrong if the implant fails to take and what can I do to maximise my chances of it succeeding? I’ve read a little about infection when they are not fitted properly but would like a concise, professional summary. Hoping you can provide one. Thank you very much.

Is My Implant Treatment Plan Too Fast?

April 4th, 2014
Q.

Dear Dr Moore, I hope you may be able to find the time to advise me. I live in Moscow and following recent inflammation was medicated by my dentist for a gum infection which was spreading to the bone. The cause is the unreplaced removal of a maxillary second premolar. This was done 3 years ago and I was unaware of the consequences of inaction. Surrounding teeth have been spreading and my indecision urgently needs to be replaced by an implant. I have consulted with a dental surgeon practising at the same hospital, have had a CBVT scan, and been confirmed as suitable. The language barrier has been heightened by the practitioners not wanting to deal with my detailed inquiries about the procedure. I have researched techniques online, including on this site, and while confident in his abilities by referral from my excellent dentist, feel in need of some reassurance. You will not be surprised to hear that there has been some loss of bone height. I believe there is 6.5mm of healthy bone which he intends to increase to 10mm by grafting. This sounded okay to me but then I heard that he intends to complete the entire procedure in one session; grafting, root form implant and immediate loading, in an estimated 20 mins. It seems to me that he is pushing the envelope in every direction, would you agree? He gave me an 80% estimate of success considering the bone loss, but it appears to me as a layman that that would be increased by a more staged approach, am I wrong? I hope I am not presenting ethical concerns, but I feel in need of a second opinion. Thanks and regards.

Has The Tip Of My Implant Screw Broken Off?

March 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi. Two years ago I broke a bridge snowboarding. I have had a three tooth implant. The veneers fell out this weekend whilst eating and the screw feels like it has broken. Not where it fits into the implant itself but the tip feels like it broke off in the veneer. The screw still feels firm in the implant so should the tip of the screw break? Ie one screw feels firm on the tip whilst the other has no tip and feels like a cylinder. I am seeing my specialist but wondered if this could be a fault with the screw. Cheers.
