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?

I need an implant but am concerned this will affect my IVF treatment. What should I do?

October 13th, 2011
Q.
Hello, I havea failed root canal which has already been re rooted twice. I imagine I will need an extraction very soon (visiting dentist tomo) – and then an implant etc. However, I am due to start IVF treatment in a month and am concerned about the dental treatments and x rays needed if I pursue the implant route. If I leave the tooth extracted – and no implant or bone graft for 12-14 months, is this going to be a problem? Also, what is the risk of dry socket with extraction? This terrifies me! Thanks,,
