Would it be a good idea for my 78-year old mother to go ahead with dental implants?

June 6th, 2011
Q.
Hello, this is a question for my 78 year old mother. She\’s had dentures in since she was very young and had several replacements throughout her life. She is looking for a more permanent solution but is frightened that her age and fragility is going to get in the way of treatment. She also has type 2 diabetes and anaemia. What do you think Dr?

My dentist isn’t certain if I should have a bone graft or not, what should I do?

June 6th, 2011
Q.
Hi, I have had x-rays, ct scan and the thickness of my bone measured. I have been told that I should not need a bone graft but he could not say for certain until he opens up the gum, is this true? I thought these tests would prove whether bone grafting is required or not. As when he opens up gum and procedes if he said it is required the the price rises alot.,

June 5th, 2011
Q.
I have some recession (2/3mm) on one of my canine teeth. It doesn\’t notice when I smile but I am aware of it… How much would it cost to have a gum graft on this tooth? Or are there any alternatives?

Would it be worth getting a mini implant to replace my dental bridge?

June 2nd, 2011
Q.
I have been attending the glasgow dental hospital for the past year since my bridge fell out. I was hoping to get an implant but the space is too small for this. therefore I am getting a bridge. However, I would much prefer something more permanent and wondered if it would be worth looking into getting a mini implant through a private practice. Since I was born without this tooth I am entitled to free treatment through the NHS but the process has taken a considerable amount of time and I am eager to get a permanent resolution rather than another bridge. They have not mentioned a mini implant so not sure if this is not available through the NHS. to be honest the whole process has been a nightmare and I would really like a permanent solution that is not too costly as I am only 21 years old.,
