I Am Suffering From Painful Headaches And I Have Gagging Problems. Would I Be Suitable Candidate For Implants?

December 17th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore, I have had all my teeth removed from the upper and lower jaws, and as a result of the dentures fitted, I am suffering from painful headaches and have a problem with gagging which leads to me vomiting more often than I would like. I have been trying to use these dentures but it is starting to have a real impact on my health. I have seen on some sites that yes in certain cases implants are available and others that say no but none are specific to any case or one such as mine. Can you advise me on my best course of action please? Thank you.

My dentist and Guys Hospital dispute what treatment i should have done, which one should i go with?

August 1st, 2013
Q.

Ive had 3 implants put in about 6 yrs ago but Ive been told they wont last by my dentist and Guys Hospital. My dentist suggest to have the implants redone but Guys tell me to have a bridge. Im confused and really dont know what to do. I just want to be referred to the right person so I don’t have to walk around with big gaps in my mouth. Its an awful feeling not being able to smile. I’m a diabetic who is 50 years old. My diabetes can be a bit unstable at times but at the moment the balance has improved.

Both my dentist and Guys disagree with each other regarding my treatment and both parties rerfuse to talk to each other too.

I so need to find a permanant help for my teeth as the thought of having more false teeth kills me.

The implant on the upper left hand side is starting to ache which I fear might be starting to fall out but on touching it , it still appears firm. Both other impants also appear firm but x rays have proved they will one day fall out but no one knows when.

my nhs dentist and private dentist worked together with my treatment of crowns and implants. also i had to have bone put in the gums so the implants worked.

I have had Gum disease since I was 21 but keep my teeth in good order. I have them clean by my dentist every 3 months. Ive also been to guys for a year while they cleaned

I have three missing molar teeth on my bottom jaw and I constantly have problems with food getting stuck and the gum getting inflamed which is both painful and annoying as it happens so frequently.

What is your professional opinion on the All on 4 method of implant dentistry?

January 9th, 2013
Q.

What is your professional opinion of the all on 4 method of implant dentistry. I ask because the dentist who did a four implant and bar overdenture on my lower jaw dismisses the procedure out of hand when i asked him about it. However, a perodontist, with experience in the all in four technique, tells me after a full consultation (with c-scan) that I am a good candidate for the all on 4 (for me all on 5) procedure for my maxilla. I ask for your opinion because I am now confused and would appreciate feedback.

Of course conventional treatme… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
