How Much Does All On 4 Treatment Cost, and Am I Suitable?

June 12th, 2015
Q.

Hey Dr Moore. I need 10 teeth removing, and I would like to have All On 4 treatment on both my upper and lower jaws. Currently I have a denture of 6 teeth along the lower jaw, but there are 4 next to it that are in very bad condition. On the upper jaw there are 6 teeth in bad condition, with no denture there at all. Ideally I’d like an idea on how much the treatment costs, but should probably mention that I suffer from gum disease and it’s quite bad. Am I suitable for All On 4?

I’m Worried My Teeth Will Keep Falling Out Due to Gum Disease and Implants are Expensive. What Can Be Done?

April 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey. I’ve been receiving treatment for gum disease over the last few months. I had a filling about 4 weeks ago, and following it I’ve had a severe toothache, and the tooth is so loose I think it’s going to fall out. I really don’t want a plate fitted, and I’m terrified that my other teeth will start to fall out too. It’s frustrating because I thought I was getting rid of the gum disease! Now, if my teeth do start falling out, and I pay for just the one tooth now, I might have to keep getting implants and obviously this is going to cost me more and more with each tooth. My dentist isn’t saying much on the matter which winds me up even more. Can you help me?

April 6th, 2015

Hello, I was wondering if you could offer me some advice.

How Can I Get A Lovely Smile Without Having False Teeth?

March 21st, 2015
Q.

Hi there, I am a 51 year old lady who suffered Crohns disease and was on long term steroids. I have been off them for 6 years now. My teeth and gums suffered and I have slight gum disease.
I have 1 crown in the front which is not in straight, and the tooth next to it is bridged onto a smaller tooth and is a different colour. I also have gaps. I would like a lovely smile again without having false teeth, any suggestions?

How Much Does Implant Treatment Cost, And Am I Suitable?

February 28th, 2015
Q.

Dear Dr Glover. I had dental surgery 13 years ago to uncover both my adult canine teeth (kissing canines) in the roof of my palette. It took 6 years to drag the teeth down into place with the use of a brace. My canine teeth were then bonded to fill in the gaps to give a better smile. That was 8 years ago. Now it is being suggested that the teeth do not have a good shelf life and implants would be the way forward. What cost do implants come in at for two canine teeth such as mine? And is there any criteria I must meet to be able to have them? I have been told that I have gum disease which currently affects those two teeth. Many thanks, Caroline.

I’m 48. Am I Able To Have Dentures Fitted At This Age?

February 1st, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Fahey. I have gum disease and my current dentist said I can’t have dentures or plates fitted where my missing teeth are. This is a problem as I’m very self-conscious when smiling. My dentist said I’m unable to have existing front teeth taken out to have dentures as I’m only 48. I’m worried that I’ll never be able to smile properly. Will I ever be able to have dentures? I’d be grateful if you could advise me.

I Have Gum Disease And I’m Worried My Teeth May Fall Out, Can You Provide Me With Any Help Or Advice?

July 19th, 2014
Q.

Hello, Dr Bohara. I have gum disease, which I have had treatment for over the last couple of years. After a filling some weeks ago, I had quite bad toothache, and the tooth is now about to fall out. I am devastated, as I do not want a plate fitted. I am also scared that the other teeth will fall out as well as this. I thought I was on top of the disease?
If I pay for just one tooth now, I may have to keep getting dentures which will be costing more and more, my dentist has not been very helpful in this matter either. I can’t have a bridge as I do not have many back teeth. I really hope you can help me with this enquiry, any information or advice will be greatly received. Thank You.

Gum Disease Has Ruined My Mouth, Should I Have A Plate Or Dental Implants?

May 1st, 2014
Q.

Over twenty years ago I had bridges on my top teeth on the left and right sides. I developed gum disease around three years ago under the bridge and had to have the middle part of the bridge removed. I still have the bridge attached to the teeth at either side and a gap in the middle where this tooth was removed. The gum disease has also affected where the bridged part remains and the gum has receded so much that there is 4-5mm of the the original tooth that they were attached to showing, these are painful to touch and a black colour. What treatment would be the best way forward as one of the remaining teeth has also become loose so I am going to have gaps from three teeth missing. My dentist has said I should have these teeth taken out and have a plate which I do not want. I would like implants apart from the cost, but is it better for me to have implants inserted straight after the teeth get taken out or would it still be possible to have them done in future and have a plate till then, also would implants be possible with the gum disease I have got, I am worried that i have implants and then they do not work because of the gum disease.

January 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello. Can you please help me with my dental situation. Can u have implants if you have got gum disease and how much would it cose for a complete set of implants and can’t i be a guinea pig for anyone. I am forty nine years old and really self-concious about my smile and I also hate going out because of this.
