Can I have a temporary tooth while I wait replacement for extracted tooth?

October 15th, 2011
Q.
I have an infection from a root canal which didnt work and will need to have the tooth removed and an implant or bridge put in. I am very concerned about having a space there after having it pulled and while I wait for the implant. Is it possible to have a temp bridge/implant straight after the tooth has been removed despite the infection? Thanks so much for your help,

I need an implant but am concerned this will affect my IVF treatment. What should I do?

October 13th, 2011
Q.
Hello, I havea failed root canal which has already been re rooted twice. I imagine I will need an extraction very soon (visiting dentist tomo) – and then an implant etc. However, I am due to start IVF treatment in a month and am concerned about the dental treatments and x rays needed if I pursue the implant route. If I leave the tooth extracted – and no implant or bone graft for 12-14 months, is this going to be a problem? Also, what is the risk of dry socket with extraction? This terrifies me! Thanks,,

might be a problem as you coul… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would I have to get my four teeth replaced with implants at once, or can I get one done and the others down the line?

October 3rd, 2011
Q.
Dear Dr Solanki, I have root canals in four of my front teeth, one of which is causing problems and needs to be removed. I have been advised by my dentist that the other three teeth will need to come out eventually but should last another five years or so before this is necessary. I am being advised to get all four teeth extracted and the implants put in place all at once but to me this seems a bit extreme. Is this method preferable rather than just having one implant inserted then having the neighbouring teeth done a few years down the line? Obviously I want to hold on to my natural teeth for as long as possible and am worried about the cost of four implants as opposed to just one. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks ,
A.

Would a dental implant be suitable for a tooth which has undergone several failed root canals?

September 29th, 2011
Q.
Upper molar had 3 root canals in past few years but now it has been decided that tooth needs removal. The teeth on either side of the tooth in question have no problems with them so would you recommend an implant for this? Then a crown to go with it? Any ideas on the cost I can expect?,
A.
the implant is an ideal repalc… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My dentist has recommended I have my painful tooth removed but I don’t want to. Is there any other option?

September 18th, 2011
Q.
In 1998 I had a root canal procedure on my bottom right back molar.A crown was fitted. 3 years ago I experienced pain underneath this crown and my dentist prescribed antibiotics. 2 more \’pain episodes\’ followed, approx once a year the last one 2 weeks ago.My dentist is of the opinion that the root canal has failed and that to avoid these infections extraction should be considered. I am reluctant but do not wish to possibly keep on taking antibiotics. Any thoughts. I have had the tooth x-rayed now and am due for extraction on 14 December.,
A.
Sounds like extraction or poss… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I get an implant to replace tooth that had to be removed?

January 11th, 2011
Q.
When I was younger I had a root canal that went wrong and my front tooth has to be removed. The dentist did his best to save it but said it was too far gone and that tooth needed to be removed. I am now with a fake tooth that looks and feels horrible and makes me looks stupid. What can I do? Can I get implants?,
A.
If the bone is healthy then an… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
