How Can I Get A Lovely Smile Without Having False Teeth?

March 21st, 2015
Q.

Hi there, I am a 51 year old lady who suffered Crohns disease and was on long term steroids. I have been off them for 6 years now. My teeth and gums suffered and I have slight gum disease.
I have 1 crown in the front which is not in straight, and the tooth next to it is bridged onto a smaller tooth and is a different colour. I also have gaps. I would like a lovely smile again without having false teeth, any suggestions?

Can An NHS Dentist Help Me With Bone Resorption?

February 9th, 2015
Q.

I have significant bone resorption & pain from a two year old implant. The bone wasn’t great in the beginning but it has got worse and the stump is now exposed. I have been dedicated to keeping it clean. I have another which I have had no problems with.
I do not have the funds to rectify this privately. Can I use an NHS dentist to help?
The place I used had an offer on but I think the dentist was quite inexperienced in implants. For my first implant I had additional bone grafted but on this one she said “there’s plenty of bone there” and took some from further along my jaw.
Some advice on what to do would be great and also any thoughts on the original grafting. Would I have been spared this if she had only placed some extra bone in?

December 9th, 2011
Q.
Due to gum disease I am losing my teeth, I talked to the dentist and he said I should get dentures. I would prefer implant but he said that I had bone loss as well so this would be difficult. Is there any way I could stop my toth loss or at least get implants rather tahn dentures?,

I am losing teeth after not taking care of them, is there anything I can do?

December 3rd, 2011
Q.
following years of poor dental hygiene I now find myself (regrettably) losing my teeth, my gums have receded and am told of ‘poor bone quality’ by my dentist. Is there any hope for me?? I’m becoming a tad depressed about this,

I am confused about my dentists advice, can you help?

December 2nd, 2011
Q.
After the removal of my UR back molar due to bone loss I had to have root canal on the next UR molar which now has to be extracted as it cracked across. They advised I would need sinus lift and bone graft before an implant could replace the tooth. My dentist is advising I don’t need a sinus lift but would extract then do a bone graft at same time as first stage implantation. Is this a secure way to go or should I have 1st stage implant after the bone graft has healed? Thanks for your advice – I’m confused!,

bone growth dental implants

December 2nd, 2011
Q.
Over the last year I had the UR back molar removed due to bone loss and the second UR was successfully root canaled but then cracked across so I need to have it removed and an implant placed. My dentist wants to remove and do a bone graft simultaneous with the implant pin and then leave for 5-6mths for the bone to grow. She says this is safe and has done it before although I understand from this site that bone graft is normally done before inserting the implant pin. I was advised that I would need a sinus lift & a bone graft – my dentist doesn’t think the sinus lift is necessary as I have not had the tooth removed yet. Very confused want to do the right thing – what do you advise?,

Can silver be used in an implant verses titanium in order to avoid infection?

November 6th, 2011
Q.
Can silver be used in an inplant verses titanium so that infection would be impossible and therefore the body and mouth mico voltage could be maintained at -20.5 mv. Tooth decay I understand can reduce total body voltage by 65% per tooth endingin an early death. Shifting the metal from titanium to silver I think would eliminate this problem even though silver is not as strong as titanium.,
