How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me. How much is it for a dental implant treatment? I may need 3 implants, as two of my teeth are filled, and one is missing. These three teeth are together in a row. I am missing other teeth, they are molars and if I can afford it, I would get implants. Thank you for your time.

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.

My Daughter Has 10 Missing Adult Teeth. What Kind Of Treatment Will She Need As She Gets Older?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Andrew. My daughter had her first dental X-ray today – she’s 9. The dentist has told us that she has 10 adult teeth missing, so will only have 18 adult teeth. She has had 4 adult teeth grow through. She has been referred to an orthodontist for further treatment. Please can you tell me what options are available to her as she gets older. Obviously, having 10 missing adult teeth could impact on her eating and speech. We are worried about her future and her self-esteem.
Any advice would be greatly received.
Thanks.

Hello, I have fibromyalgia so I’m in a lot of pain all the time. My teeth are not in the best state because to be perfectly honest I have just let myself go. However, I am looking into dental implants to replace all the teeth in my mouth, but I’m worried that my condition means that I can’t have them. Can you please offer me some advice? I am looking for a specialist who can help me in the Manchester area, do you know of any? If not I am willing to travel for the right dentist who can help. Thank you for your time!

Which Is The Better Option Between All-On-4 And Implants For Dentures?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. I had my teeth removed a number of years ago, and have been wearing dentures ever since. I find these incredibly uncomfortable and have been looking at the different options available for a more stable replacement. I am torn between All-On-4 and implants for dentures. Which, in your opinion, is the best choice for me? Thank you for your time, any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

Can I Get A Dental Implant At The Age Of 17?

February 23rd, 2015
Q.

I wore braces for almost 3 years. I was told that one of my teeth will never form into an adult tooth meaning that I will have a gap. My dentist has partly filled the gap by essentially making the tooth next to the gap bigger because at the time they said I was too young for an implant. I am now 17 and would really like to know whether or not I would be able to get an implant in your opinion as the gap really affects my confidence, so I would love to get it sorted.

Bridge Or Implants – Which Would Be Best For Elongated Upper Teeth With Receding Gums?

February 14th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Moore. I have receding gums, but I see a hygienist regularly and have had a very expensive series of periodontal treatments. My 6 front upper teeth are elongated with obvious receding gums, and are held together by a brace on the back that maintains their awful position- would you recommend a bridge or implants? Could you also advise on me on the cost? My dentist is only interested in implants which worries me because of the pain, cost and whether I have enough bone to hold them. I am 50 and I am a smoker (I am trying to stop). I would be very grateful for your advice, thank 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?
