My Mum Has Severe Dry Mouth Symptoms After Having All-On-4 Implants. Why Has This Happened?

December 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Fahey,

My Mum recently had the 4 dental implant treatment. Initially she was delighted with the results and how great they look but unfortunately she’s now experiencing severe dry mouth symptoms and the implants have begun to discolour. Her dentist has said that it is not due to the implants and that he’s never had a patient to complain about dry mouth before. He had to replace the bottom implants due to the discolouration and it looks like he’s going to do the same with the top set. Could he have damaged a nerve going to the saliva gland during the insertion procedure? I think the lack of Saliva is causing the discolouration but surely he would know this. Any advice on how to proceed?

Regards.

How Long Will I Be Able To Start Eating Solids After Having Implant Surgery?

August 7th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I just want to know something that is really bugging me. How long in your opinion, will I have to wait before I can start eating solid food when I get my new implants fitted? I’m going for the procedure in a fortnight from now and I go out for a lot of business lunches, and I don’t really fancy sitting there with some soup and a straw as you can imagine it would start to get quite tiresome. I want to begin eating solids again as soon as possible, so how long, on average, will it take until I can do this? Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me with this matter.

What Can Be Done About My Dying Tooth?

February 15th, 2014
Q.

My lower pre molar is dying have had a root filling but it will have to come out eventually. My dentist said I could have a bridge or implant or even just have it out and leave a gap!! I would like to have it out and then my teeth spread out/straightened . I have had a consultation for braces and I am still thinking about it.I need some help with a complete picture of options with time and cost implications – should I contemplate a bridge or an implant? I need comprehensive information – I favour the straightening as it seems less intrusive but I understand that i cant just have the lower set done – I am happy with my uppers but the lower teeth are overcrowded. isn’t it much better for your general health – and cleaning your teeth?

Would it be a good idea for my 78-year old mother to go ahead with dental implants?

June 6th, 2011
Q.
Hello, this is a question for my 78 year old mother. She\’s had dentures in since she was very young and had several replacements throughout her life. She is looking for a more permanent solution but is frightened that her age and fragility is going to get in the way of treatment. She also has type 2 diabetes and anaemia. What do you think Dr? Would it be a good idea for her to have the implants or can you recommend anything else? Thank you, Melinda.,
