Can I replace all my teeth with implants because I have gum disease?

March 17th, 2012
Q.
Dr Moore, I am currently suffering from gum disease; it has now reached the stage where I am starting to lose teeth. I have already lost three teeth from my top jaw and have a further one now loose. I have a plate with the replacement teeth but find this denture set uncomfortable and un-hygienic, is it possible to have all my teeth replaced with permanent implants and would you please let me have an indication of the cost for this procedure. Many thanks in advance. ,

What are my options when my teeth fall out due to periodontal disease?

March 11th, 2012
Q.
Hi, I have been petrified of dentists for years so have avoided going at all costs, but over the last year i noticed the gap and gum between my top front teeth was getting bigger so i plucked up the courage to go and see my local dentist. Once there she gave me an xray and said I had periodontal disease very severe, since then I have been back for her thoroughly clean them and remove any tartar that has built up but she has now told me that chances are i am going to lose my teeth by the end of the year (they could fall out) as you can understand this has scared me as I am only 32 and she doesnt seem to be giving any form of advise as to what I can do to a) stop it getting any worse or B) if they do fall out what can be done, I understand I am with an NHS dentist but was wondering what options I would have if I went private as i dont really understand what you price list means, if you could give me any advose I would be very grateful. Many thanks ,

I had a really awful dentist who first fitted all

March 9th, 2012
Q.
I had a really awful dentist who first fitted all my top plate ready for implants, and the teeth were diferent coulurs, she told me as I got older the shade of my teeth would go like that. I’m 53yrs. she never finished my teeth, just ran off with the money. she did keep sending me 30% off zoom whiter smile, I did not think nobel biocare implants could be made writer. who in this world wants odd coloured teeth. let alone pay £20.000 for them,

Should I get implant immediate loading or have longer healing time?

March 3rd, 2012
Q.
I currently have a bridge on my front teeth this was fitted 15 years ago when i had the two front teeth removed. I have decided to have implants as the bridge has failed and the supporting teeth are infected. I have had two consultations, the first dentist said that the teeth would be removed and due to the fact that i have a high smile line i would wait 3-6 months for the site to heal. Then the implants would be placed and then there would be another 3-6month wait before the permanant bridge could be fitted to the implants. During this time i would wear an adhesive bridge. This seemed like a long time so i had a second consultation with another dentist, this time i was told that the teeth could be removed and the implants placed with immediate loading of temp teeth for 3-6 months before permanant bridge fitted, despite telling the dentist that i do tend to grind and clench my teeth when sleeping. I am now very confused as to which is the best option as both dentists have advised such different methods. I have read that immediate loading can be quite high risk of failure because there should be no movement as the area is healing. I just assumed that i would have implants placed straight away then wear a temporary bridge that does not put pressure on the area that is healing. Any advice, i don’t want to end up paying for another consultation.,

I had a tooth extraction and I am still in pain 8 weeks later, what do you suggest?

February 27th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, unfortunately your answer did not appear on your blog so I shall ask again with a little bit more added. I still get an ache where the extraction site is 8 weeks after extraction, is this normal and should I have a bridge whilst this is going on? This is the added bit – I have seen the dentist once again and took 2 x-rays, nothing showed up as to why I am still in pain and has referred me to my local hospital. What do you think it is?,
