My Dental Implant Crown Keeps Coming Loose. Have You Ever Heard Of This Happening?

January 19th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey, I hope you can help me. My dental implant crown has come loose 4 times in the last year and the screw has been tightened each time which only lasts a few weeks at a time. Have you ever heard of this happening? Twice it has happened while I was flossing under it. It doesn’t hurt at all, it’s just the crown is coming loose which worries me. Any advice? Can we glue that screw in there?My dentist is considering ordering some new part but he told me he has never seen this before. Thanks.

Does Bone Grafting Work As I Need A New Implant To Replace An Old One?

November 13th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr. Fahey, I am 55 year old male, non-smoker and in good health.
I have a 23 year old front tooth implant which has a small bone loss and is sensitive due to some gum exposure. My dentist says bone and gum grafting will help. But I read that it is either not possible or success rate is non-existant. Is there a rough success rate percentage anywhere I can look before making decision?
I don’t know the make or model of the implant but 23 years ago there were probably only a few around. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

My teeth are a mess, help?

July 7th, 2012
Q.

Hi, my top teeth are a mess! I have a mini denture for 5 missing teeth, I have 2 gold crowns at the back, 2 crowns at the front which keep coming detached from the posts, 1 crown to the left which is working loose, 1 crown to the right which came out completely, and 1 crown at the front which broke off and I swallowed it. My bottom teeth are not much better. I have no teeth at the back, and all of my front teeth need work! HELP! If I were to look at implants to help me feel human again, what costs should I expect? Would I need to win the lottery?

December 21st, 2011
Q.
My two front teeth have both got crowns fitted on to my original teeth, but one of these teeth have snapped. can you please tell me the best option to replace it with a permanent fixing.
