Could I get dental implants as an alternative to my current denture?

September 22nd, 2013
Q.

I am missing my bottom teeth on both sides from my eye teeth with the exception of one wisdom tooth on my left. I am 31 and this has been the case for over 10+ years however, recently i have started to have some real problems with my jaw with painful symptoms and an occassion where almost lock jaw which really scared me and made me anxious. My dentist has given me a denture but I feel too young for this kind of treatment and would like to try something different. Whats the minimum amount of implants i would need to get a bridge?

Is there a possibility of nerve damage if I get implants and a bridge after wearing dentures for twenty years?

September 13th, 2013
Q.

Yello, I am concerned about getting nerve damage in the lower jaw. I hope to have four front teeth replaced by dental implants and a dental bridge but have worn a denture for over twenty years now and the underlying gum and bone has shrunk considerably – what are the chances of damage being done in this instance? I also have bruxism and am worried about the general outcome of such dental treatment. I have had considerable problems with gum disease in the past (the reason for the tooth loss) but have excellent oral hygene levels now and for the last few years. I have no worries on that score, but would appreciate what you have to say on the other matter.

I am experiencing normal side-effects of dental implant surgery?

December 10th, 2012
Q.

I had an implant fitted 3 months ago and although It appeared to settle down after 3 doses of antibiotics, Although I still felt my gums and throat sore. I then had my new denture fittedbut could not stand the pain it caused. My tongue felt as if it was being pinched and starting to go numb. The dentist practically had to file the denture down completely on one side. This did help but the other problem I was experinceing was pain at the base of the tooth next to the implant which was like someone hitting a raw nerve when I tried to brush my teeth. The dentist said this was caused by a rogue nerve and took this tooth out also.Tthis resulted in a dry socket which again is very painful . It is starting to get better but my gums and throught still feel sore and I now have a horrible taste of iron in my mouth and it is very dry. Have you heard of these side affects before?

How do I keep my dental implants clean and free of infection?

November 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello,
I am seriously considering to undertake All on 4 teeth replacement based on what I read in your article here.
I have 73 years and after the war in Europe the only dental treatment in my region was tooth extraction mostly done by general MD or DIY..
By the age 20 I had most of my back teeth in the upper jaw and in the lower jaw missing.

Thus my jaw bone was not stimulated for over 50 years.
I am retired now and wear dentures.
In the lower jaw I managed to save 4 teeth in front. Dentures are now in need of repair.
I am wearing full denture in the upper jaw and partial denture in the lower jaw.

Have a question about dental hygiene after
All on 4 procedure is completed..
How do I clean those implants to prevent infection and loss of stability of the implant.
Even if implants are from special metal, bacterias can and will collect around implants and cause damage and cause periodontal disease around implants. Are there special techniques and tools to clean thoroughly at least once a day and preferably every time after eating sweets.
Implants will be covered completely covered and invisible and impossible to clean unless I go to a Clinic where they will be able to remove dentures to expose implants and that will significantly increase cost clinic to write a brief article about this important issue.
Many thanks for your help to clarify the maintenance procedures after All on 4 implants are placed in mouth.
Sincerely

I don’t have enough jawbone for dental implants, is a denture the best option for me?

October 16th, 2012
Q.

I have had my four bottom front between my K9’s pulled due to bone loss and have been told that because of the bone loss I’m not a candidate for implants. I was wondering is there anything other a fixed bridge that could work for me? I heard that there is now a denture that snaps on over your existing teeth. If so do you know the price range for them?
thank you for taking the time to read my message and for any help you can give me dr moore

I need my teeth replacing but I don’t want dentures. What other options do I have?

August 21st, 2012
Q.

hello Dr Moore

what can you suggest for some one who needs to have all of their teeth replaced, but cannot stand dentures. I did have gum disease, but it has all been cleared up now and i hate the dentures i have been given to wear. They move about and rub my gums and just totally look more hideous than I can really describe. What can you suggest as an alternative to my dentures?

thank you for your time and help and hope to hear back from you soon

What is the average length of time an implant would last?

March 31st, 2012
Q.
I currently have a denture for my front teeth. I had to go via the denture route, as when one fell out (accident with a wall) as my teeth are protruding it would have meant being unable to have a brace fitted. 19 years later, I still have protruding teeth as well as the denture… It is possible to a few teeth removed and replaced with implants in order to achieve a nice smile? If so what is the average length an implant would last? Thanks in advance,
