Is There Any Technology That Allows For Implants To Be Placed In Under One Month?

March 14th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I am a healthy 19 year old individual, and I need 2 tooth implants. The teeth I require are the first and fourth incisors, and I need a long term solution. I understand the procedure of dental implants using titanium screws and have been advised that this is best option for me. I am asking you whether there is any new technology that would allow dental implants to be put in in under a month, using the titanium screws? Also, what would the possible advantages and disadvantages of this technology be, compared to the procedure that takes approximately 6 months? Thank you.

I Have A Very Sensitive Gag Reflex. Can I Be Put To Sleep During Implant Treatment?

March 8th, 2015
Q.

Hi! I have 3 missing teeth, on my bottom jaw. They’re not causing me any problems as such but I feel like I would like to have them replacing as I can feel my jaw starting to sag. The only problem is that I have a VERY sensitive gag reflex, which is why my teeth were in such a state to begin with. My dentist couldn’t go near my mouth without me dry heaving and then being sick! I was wondering if I was to opt for this if I could be put to sleep to receive the treatment? Even at the check-up? Consultation? Honestly, it’s that bad and I’m at my wits end! Thanks.

Is It Common For Healing Screws To Come Loose?

March 8th, 2015
Q.

H Dr. Moore, I have a question for you. My partner has just had healing screws fitted as he is having four implants placed. He is waiting to have final treatment in two weeks time when the gums heal. He was biting into a sandwich and felt that one of the healing screws had come loose. Is this common, and can it be replaced? Does it mean that the gum has rejected it? Will this delay the final treatment? He had the implants put in 9 months ago. Thanks in advance.

How Much Does Implant Treatment Cost, And Am I Suitable?

February 28th, 2015
Q.

Dear Dr Glover. I had dental surgery 13 years ago to uncover both my adult canine teeth (kissing canines) in the roof of my palette. It took 6 years to drag the teeth down into place with the use of a brace. My canine teeth were then bonded to fill in the gaps to give a better smile. That was 8 years ago. Now it is being suggested that the teeth do not have a good shelf life and implants would be the way forward. What cost do implants come in at for two canine teeth such as mine? And is there any criteria I must meet to be able to have them? I have been told that I have gum disease which currently affects those two teeth. Many thanks, Caroline.

Why Do My Implants Keep Failing?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, please help me with my problem. I got implants fitted 3 years ago. Since then they have continuously failed. Is there any point in me keeping them if they’re just going to keep failing? My dentist can’t understand why it keeps happening. Please let me know what you think!

Is It Possible To Have My Two Front Teeth Extracted And Replaced With Straighter Implants?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I am looking for assistance regarding my two front teeth. One of them is crowned and the other is capped. I used to wear a brace but over time they have started to go back to where they were before. I would like these two teeth extracted and two new ones put in their place, but put in straight. I have read about implants and am wondering if it is possible to extract my two front teeth and replace then straighter with implants? I’d love to know your opinion! Thank you!

Why Do My Dental Implants Keep Coming Loose?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr. Moore. I had two dental implants to which a bridge of 5 teeth were screwed to. This was 18 months ago, and now they keep coming loose. This has happened about 10 times and the dentist who keeps re-tightening them says the problem is that the 5 teeth have only two teeth to mesh with, as my lower back teeth are missing. I wondered what you think, as sometimes they come loose within a day and other times they stay tight for up to 6 weeks. Thanks you.

I Would Like My Dental Implant Removed. Where Can I Find A Dentist To Carry Out This Procedure?

February 14th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Fahey. I had a dental implant put in 3 years ago. Within 3 weeks of having the implant, I became very ill and was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have always been healthy, have no history of arthritis in the family and have been tested negative for the HLA-B27 gene. I believe 100% that the implant has caused my illness. I am allergic to metal (I am unable to wear any cheap jewellery otherwise I come out in rash). Since my illness I have learnt that a titanium implant is made up of 90% titanium and 10% is other metals (i.e. nickel). I believe I am allergic to the other metals used to strengthen the titanium implant. I am aware that not many dentists will agree that there is a connection between autoimmune diseases and implants but I do believe I have suffered due to having an allergic reaction to the implant. I am aware that a ‘bur tool’ is required to remove an implant safely. Please can you tell me if you know anyone who has this tool and can carry out this procedure for me? Many thanks for your time.

Will Taking Steroids For A Short Period Of Time Make My Dental Implants Fall Out?

February 11th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. Would taking steroids for shingles for 5 days cause an implant that was in my mouth for 16 months to fall out? I don`t smoke or take any other medication. I took the steroids for 5 days but the shingles were caught early and cleared up within 3 months. I had 2 implants put in, 1 took 28 months for my dentist to put in and the other 16 months. The latter got infected. My question still remains, could taking steroids for a short period of time affect implants?
