Will my steroid treatment for angioedema affect my chances of having dental implants?

April 19th, 2013
Q.

I may be needing an implant on an upper premolar tooth if my second root canal is unsuccessful. The tooth is not abscessed and my dentist said all my bone area is intact. Implants would be my first choice to replace the tooth. However, I am finding some information confusing on the internet about steroids. I had a 5 day course of steroids about a year ago and abother couple of days worth 7 months ago. This was for angioedema which was because my body was producing a lot of histamine when I had a virus & made my eyes swell. I now take daily antihistamines and never have a problem. The only time I’ve had the angioedema was when my GP suggested I try stopping the antihistamines as angioedema is not permanent. It goes away on its own after a couple of years. In 2 and a half years, I’ve had 3 attacks lasting about 4 days each and that’s the only occasions I’ve had steroids. Will this get in the way of me being a candidate for an implant? Many thanks,

I am having my bridge removed, but I cannot have implant for another year, is this normal?

April 19th, 2013
Q.

my bridge needs removing due to bone loss and infection. 2 teeth how soon can i have implants. my dentist has said i will need bone grafts and she will make a two tooth plate which i am reluctant about but that implants will not be an option for a year or so . i was wondering why this was the case. also how long from start to finish can one roughly expect the whole procedure to take? is it painful and can a temporary plate or similar be worn between treatments

I need to replace my missing tooth, what are my options and what problems would occur if I just left the gap?

February 5th, 2013
Q.

Dear Doctor, I have had a pre-molar extracted from the right side of my mouth after having root canal treatment which couldn’t save the tooth as it had decayed too much. I now have a gap within my mouth. What ar emy options going forward? I’ve read up about dental implants but don’t know what the cost of having a dental implant for just one tooth would be? Can you provide a rough estimate? Secondly, are there any options for replacing this one tooth other than a dental implant? Finally if I decided to do nothing and lived with the gap will it be detrimental to my other teeth? Regards

What is your professional opinion on the All on 4 method of implant dentistry?

January 9th, 2013
Q.

What is your professional opinion of the all on 4 method of implant dentistry. I ask because the dentist who did a four implant and bar overdenture on my lower jaw dismisses the procedure out of hand when i asked him about it. However, a perodontist, with experience in the all in four technique, tells me after a full consultation (with c-scan) that I am a good candidate for the all on 4 (for me all on 5) procedure for my maxilla. I ask for your opinion because I am now confused and would appreciate feedback.

My dentist didn’t fit my implants properly and won’t reimburse the cost. What should I do?

December 16th, 2012
Q.

I had Nobel biocare implants done started haveing problems with them a year later, they became lose, The dentist who did them should have also done the upper jaw, but never did. they took off with £10.000 and on a dental report the implants are not fit for purpose, and needs the correct prescription. I tried to get my money back but no legal firm will take on a private dentist. and those that do show an intrest go after the legal aid then drop the case. I feel we should be able to insure against a dentist cocking up instead of just finishing the job they are paid to do.

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

Dr Kalpesh Bohara

My new implant looks longer than my other teeth, what can be done about this?

October 21st, 2012
Q.

I have recently had a single implant retained crown fitted to my left central incisor and a cerec porcelain crown fitted to my left lateral incisor following an accident.

When my central incisor was removed an abcess was discovered which meant i had some artificial bone inserted and left to heal before the implant was placed.

Now the implant has been fitted it looks considerably longer than my right central incisor, which my dentist says is due to gum recession. I am really unhappy with how this looks and want to try and find out if there are any procedures available to correct this as i do not want one front tooth which is longer than the other?

Many thanks

1 of my mini implants has failed, should I opt for dentures instead?

October 16th, 2012
Q.

I had 2 midi implants fitted…1 failed and the other has had a crown fitted but the gum seems to be receeding and it looks like the bone is going around the implant. I am worried that the implant has caused this and will show through. I have been told wait and see but what if it does? what can be done? To take it out would mean further bone loss and then what..as I would still have the problem with the gum. i have been told gum grafts dont work well. I am to have a bone graft on the side that the midi implant failed (from another dentist) and 2 full implants fitted but i am now having second thoughts as I am desperately worried about this gum problem. Is there a really good denture that I could have fitted instead? I have only been given the usual ones. I would be most grateful for any advice. Many thanks
