Is there any way I can have dental implants for my mobile teeth?

January 16th, 2013
Q.

I visited my dentist a few days back and was told that I have lost 8-9 mm of jaw bone (probably due to grinding of teeth and diabetes). Now it seems my teeth are hanging by the roots. 2 of my teeth are mobile. I am 40 years old and the dentist has recommended removing 7 teeth and going for laser root planing. I am told that the amount of bone left is not sufficient for implants. I am not looking forward to wearing dentures at this age. Is there a way to save the mobile teeth first using any grafting technique. Also is it possible to regrow the jaw bone in time o save the rest of my teeth and also hopefully udertake implants at a later stage. Money is not a concern but I’d like to save my teeth.

My dental implant treatment was unsuccessful, will I need to have a bone graft?

January 16th, 2013
Q.

i recently went for four titanium implants which were inserted but woul not bite into the bone so when it was attempted to insert the screw to the implant the implant merely turned with the screwing action.The bone appeared to be to soft for the implant to grip. The implant could not be screwed deeper due to the location of my sinuses and nose, I would like to know if there is an alternative implant that would overcome this problem preferably without the need of bone grafting and given that the problem is soft bone would bone grafting be any use anyway.

Am I suitabe for the all on 4 dental implant and denture treatment?

November 18th, 2012
Q.

Dr Glover,
I am considering the All on 4 implants to upper and lower jaws. I have 14 teeth which need removing, I currently have a denture of 4 teeth on the upper jaw along with 7 natural teeth which are in poor condtion. On the lower jaw I have 8 teeth and no denture I can provide an x ray and would just like an idea of costs.
I suffer with gum disease and severe bone loss I have had a number of consultations which would require me to travel to various parts of Europe which I would like to avoid if possible

My new implant looks longer than my other teeth, what can be done about this?

October 21st, 2012
Q.

I have recently had a single implant retained crown fitted to my left central incisor and a cerec porcelain crown fitted to my left lateral incisor following an accident.

When my central incisor was removed an abcess was discovered which meant i had some artificial bone inserted and left to heal before the implant was placed.

Now the implant has been fitted it looks considerably longer than my right central incisor, which my dentist says is due to gum recession. I am really unhappy with how this looks and want to try and find out if there are any procedures available to correct this as i do not want one front tooth which is longer than the other?

Many thanks

I have had implant for the last 7 years and suddenly they have fallen out, what could be the problem?

September 3rd, 2012
Q.

I have had implants for 6/7 years and have had regular dental visits over that period. Recently I attended a regular appointment to remove the bridges top and bottom and during the process 6 implants fell out. Is this normal – from no problems to the loss of all my upper implants? The problems had not shown up on the x-ray but it now seems that I will have to return to a denture until the bone has recovered / new bone graft and then have the entire top jaw re done. Have I had appropriate ongoing treatment. It feels to me that the implants should have a longer life and if it has been caused by infection should that not have been picked up and treated in time to avoid the loss of my entie upper jaw implants all at once.

I need a bone graft but im a student so money is an issue?

July 6th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I have had to two front teeth removed some time ago due to a childhood injury with reoccuring infection meaning the dentist could not save the teeth. I have had an apexectomy some years ago and a cap fitted prior to that, but the infection kept coming back. I may need a bone graft, so would like a recommendation please on a good dental practice to do this. I was made redundant 2 years ago and am now a student so money is an issue. Can you recommend someone who is not overpriced and will accept a finance option. Can I get this done on the NHS as it has affected my confidence and ability to be my normal self.
Thank you

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,

Can you please offer your advice to ease my dental implant treatment concerns?

April 1st, 2012
Q.
after a bad experience with a bone graft and being numb for over a month, I’m now having second thoughts about getting a implant. My appt is in two weeks, so I need advice asap. With 5 children, I am not sure if it’s worth the risk I’ve been reading about. I was in pain from a failed root canal for many years, and I don’t wanna go back to that. seems too many things can go wrong, infection etc….I’m still young and pretty, and I’ve lost my main chewing lower right molar. what else can I do. I’ve been worried sick and loosing sleep. please help me to decide. not sure if it makes a difference but my brother has 2 implants that are fine, and my sisters bottom molars are fine that she has had for over 15 yrs. but she has had a nightmare with her upper implants. didn’t know if family accepts implants the same way? thank you,

March 31st, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Glover. Than you for your time. , i was think of having implants for two teeth that are missing on my upper jaw but I have been told in the past that I have quite a small jaw and I have been reading on your website about bone grafts. What would that entail and how long would it take to heal and then put the implants in? many thanks for your time,
