Is There Any Technology That Allows For Implants To Be Placed In Under One Month?

March 14th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I am a healthy 19 year old individual, and I need 2 tooth implants. The teeth I require are the first and fourth incisors, and I need a long term solution. I understand the procedure of dental implants using titanium screws and have been advised that this is best option for me. I am asking you whether there is any new technology that would allow dental implants to be put in in under a month, using the titanium screws? Also, what would the possible advantages and disadvantages of this technology be, compared to the procedure that takes approximately 6 months? Thank you.

dental implant for the replacement of fallen crown

June 18th, 2012
Q.
I have previously (5 yrs ago) had root treatment and a crown on my to second pre-molar. Last weekend the crown, which covered most of the area of the tooth, fell out. Today I visited a dentist and apparently I now don’t have enough tooth on show to have another crown (my gum has already covered over the area) the root is also not in the best condition for this. So this would mean my options are a denture, a bridge or an implant. Not keen to get a denture, the bridge I’m guessing may cause problems down the line for my other surrounding teeth. So what kind of price would I be looking at for an implant? And is this a more “permenant” solution? Many thanks.

My dentist has advised two implants, are these necessary?

December 3rd, 2011
Q.
I went for a check-up as a gap has formed between my bridge and one of the ‘anchor teeth’. My bridge is upper jaw – the anchor tooth is L6, gap at L5 and the other anchor tooth is L4. L7 (my very back tooth) is a crowned tooth that has also had a root canal. My dentist has informed me that L6 needs to come out as it is deteriorating, and has proposed two implants (L5 and L6) to remedy the problem and replace the bridge (which will be trimmed so L4 remains covered by it) Does this sound about right? Can a bridge not be attached to L7 and span across to L4? Or even put an implant into L6 and bridge from that to L4, saving the need for 2 implants? Thanks!,

Is it normal that when I had my implant placed a chisel rather than drill was used?

July 28th, 2011
Q.
Dear Nick I had an implant fitted recently and was surprised that a drill was not used to make a hole for the implant but instead the bone was chiselled out (quite alarming!) Is this normal practice?,
A.
No, not usually

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?,
