Anything stronger than cement for attaching denture?

November 7th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Moore! I had lost all my teeth on the upper but retained three in the bottom. I had four implants on the upper and and two in the lower to cover fill the gap between the natural teeth. Dentures were placed in both cases held by cement.Although I am quite happy with the results because I had front reconstructed with 12 teeth on the upper and lower and was apple to eat comfortably. Unfortunately both fell out and had to be recemented. Please tell me what is the best course of action. Is this the normal way as I did not opt for a plate. I was hoping that after implants teeth should be mechanically fastned and should not entirely depend on the cement. I will be very grateful for your opinion.

What would be the cost of the whole implant procedure?

September 26th, 2010
Q.
I now only have three teeth left in my upper mouth and I am also now going to need to get these removed. I thinkg dental implants and a denture seem like a good option. But, would you be able to give me an estimate on how much this would. That’s three teeth extracted, implants (however many) and then the complete upper denture?

Okay to get implant if have rheumatoid arthritis?

September 24th, 2010
Q.
I have rheumatoid arthritis which can lead to osteoporosis. Can this affect a full set implant? I had an infection in front lower tooth and a ‘shadow’ across the other front teeth. The hospital cut through the bone to remove infection, but it returned and my dentist decided to remove all 4 teeth, leaving me with a denture. I have problems with remaining back teeth, and a loose crown, which holds the denture. I already have trouble with the denture and as I have a shallow jaw, I don’t see how a full denture would stay in place. He has suggested implants. I am worried if the Rheumatoid Arthritis and various future medications plus the removal of bone from front teeth will have an effect on implants.
