My implant hasn’t been fitted correctly, should I seek a second opinion?

May 7th, 2011
Q.
Hello, I had a baby tooth on my left lowerside the first of my molars, and at 35 it cracked due to a 20 yr old filling and absysed. I had it removed and have now had an implant in the UK this wk. My questions arise due to the implant. I went on Tuesday and had the operation but at the end they said the threading on the drilling did not work correctly so they could not get the metal implant in deep enough – it sits above the gum about 5mm. I went back on Thursday and they put me under again as they were to put it correctly under the gum at the correct height. I\’ve gotten back today and they have lowered it but not a great deal it still pokes out about 3mm. I will call them in the morning to ask what happened but i know they will of course reasure me there is no problems…can you advise if i should go to seek a second opinion as this is now beginning to worry me and what do you think about this happening? thankyou.

At what age can someone receive a dental implant?

May 7th, 2011
Q.
My son lost his front tooth in a bicycle accident at the age of 11.He is now 16 and has just had a maryland bridge fitted as a temporary measure because he can\’t go on wearing his retainer with an artificial tooth all the time.(he\’s in the retainer stage of orthodontic treatment)I\’ve been told he needs to wait until he has fully grown for an implant at about 18 or 19 years old.This seems to be the best route,although his orthodontist said the trauma to his upper jawbone has left limited room for an implant and mentioned bone grafts,etc. This all sounded a bit horrific, so I then thought of a bridge later on instead.Would an implant be the best thing?What age?How do I choose a reliable dentist in our area(Peterborough).If I have to pay to get the best for him, I will.He has already had private orthodontic treatment to get the best from his teeth generally.I\’m finding it hard to get any real answers from anyone and people tell me conflicting things.Thank you for your time and help.,

What can be done about the hairline fracture next to my implant?

May 2nd, 2011
Q.
Three weeks ago I had a single lower jaw dental implant. From the start there was severe pain. I went back to my dentist a week later and was given pain killers, but had no xray. After four trips to casualty for help with excruciating pain and one visit to max/fax an xray revealed a hairline fracture next to the implant. I am still in terrible pain and taking a cocktail of strong pain killers. Will be seeing my dentist on Monday. Could you please tell me what might be done to help me and how much longer the pain is likely to continue. Many thanks.,
