I had 4 implants but one tooth is still a gap. What is the best solution?

May 1st, 2012
Q.
Hello. I have a question for you Dr Glover. I had 4 teeth pulled out in the upper front of my mouth. I now have 4 dental implants and now I am waiting to have 4 teeth put actually I am missing a fifth tooth. This is ending up costing me alot of money. The extractions and the implants were reasonable but replacing the lost teeth is very costly. I don’t know the best solution to my problem.,

How many implants will I need to replace a bridge?

April 16th, 2012
Q.
Hello Doctor 
I have a bridge consisting of 4 teeth at the top front of my mouth. Due to root canal work that has not worked I had to have an operation at the maxio-facial clinic 4 years ago. However this has not worked either and the bridge is starting to fail. My options are to have the operation again but my surgeon says this is only 50% sucessful and can accelerate the process. Or to have the teeth replaced by impants. As Only one tooth is missing, how many implants would I have to have, could the other 3 teeth be replaced with crowns? and would the site of the original tooth loss be suitable for an implant as it was areound 40 yers ago.
Thank you very much for your time,
A.

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?,

I would get a second opinion f… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

If there is swelling and pain around where I have had an implant fitted, does this mean the implant has fallen?

November 6th, 2011
Q.
I’ve just had bone augmentation and a large implant placed that should hold a bridge with 2 teeth on, however 3 weeks on and I have a large swelling and pain above the site which my dentist says is an infection. I feel so miserable about this, I have 2 young children and just feel like all the pain i’ve had from my teeth is taking me away from them. This was supposed to be a straightforward solution but I have lost faith in the process and my dentist. Has my implant failed? I am so miserable. Thank you.,
A.
I’m not sure if the implant ha… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I don’t understand how the implant is placed. Can you explain it for me please?

July 27th, 2011
Q.
I don\’t understand how an implant is placed. Does the dentist replace the root also? Or does it go directly into the jaw bone? Can the root of the tooth be re-made rather than having to go through bone grafting etc etc?,

I am considering implants as a more permanent measure when I replace my old dentures, but I don’t want a bone graft. What are the chances I will need this?

July 24th, 2011
Q.
I have dentures in and they\’re due to be replaced because I\’ve had them for a while now and they\’re pretty ruined. I\’m now 73 and I am considering dental implants as a more permanent measure. I am in a healthy state. However I\’m worried that I may have to go ahead with a bone graft. What are the chances of this happening at my age?,

Am I a candidate for a bone graft?

May 12th, 2011
Q.
I am 39 with advanced gum disease i have complete dental bone loss at the far bottom end of my mouth, currently i still have the healthy tooth being held in by only gum. Could i be a candidate for a bone graft and if so would it be possible to save the tooth? My mother was pragmatic about dental hygeine and never smoked and still had to get all her teeth removed at age 41. I am hoping with advanced treatments my fate will not be the same.
