How Soon After Implant Surgery Can I Eat Solid Foods?

May 21st, 2015
Q.

Hello there, my question relates to aftercare following implant surgery. I’m due to have my implant fitted 3 weeks from now, and I’d just like to know how long will it be until I can eat solid foods after treatment. I’m the Managing Director of a marketing company and have a lot of lunch meetings scheduled after my surgery so I need to be able to eat properly as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for your response.

Is It Possible To Have My Two Front Teeth Extracted And Replaced With Straighter Implants?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello, I am looking for assistance regarding my two front teeth. One of them is crowned and the other is capped. I used to wear a brace but over time they have started to go back to where they were before. I would like these two teeth extracted and two new ones put in their place, but put in straight. I have read about implants and am wondering if it is possible to extract my two front teeth and replace then straighter with implants? I’d love to know your opinion! Thank you!

I Want A Couple Of Implants To Support My Partial Dentures As I Regret Having My Top Teeth Pulled. Is This Possible?

August 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I have a full upper set of false teeth and only a few teeth remaining on the bottom and I was wondering if I could get just a few implants or crowns in order to help me return to wearing just a partial denture at the top like I had previously before getting all my teeth at the top removed? I’m getting so depressed through it that I can’t even leave the house and I find it hard to talk properly, I have saved up a couple of thousand pounds and was wondering if there was anyway to help relieve me of wearing a full set of dentures? Could I have a few crowns or implants fitted that could then support a partial plate with the other teeth as I really regret having all my top teeth pulled out as I’m now lacking self confidence and I feel helpless, any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Has The Tip Of My Implant Screw Broken Off?

March 13th, 2014
Q.

Hi. Two years ago I broke a bridge snowboarding. I have had a three tooth implant. The veneers fell out this weekend whilst eating and the screw feels like it has broken. Not where it fits into the implant itself but the tip feels like it broke off in the veneer. The screw still feels firm in the implant so should the tip of the screw break? Ie one screw feels firm on the tip whilst the other has no tip and feels like a cylinder. I am seeing my specialist but wondered if this could be a fault with the screw. Cheers.

Are Dental Implants The Way To Go For Me?

January 25th, 2014
Q.

I have three missing teeth and my doctor has mentioned overcoming this with dental implants. I have a real fear of any kind of surgery or needles and wondered if I had any other options? One of my missing teeth fell out about five years ago so my doctor isn’t sure how successful an implant would be there as there may be little bone left in that area. It all just seems too complicated and serious. I have had five years with no tooth and there have been no problems. but i have changed are and my new dentist isn’t happy leaving the hole in my mouth. He is very keen on the idea of dental implants but I am too worried to find out exactly what the procedure is. Do you think this treatment would be best for me or something less severe like false teeth?

A.
Generally I would say advice f… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

If the infection has returned is tooth extraction and the placement of an inevitable?

November 17th, 2013
Q.

I have had a failed root canal treatment. The endodontist removed it and bleached it and then sealed it up again. He said I would need a dental crown, but that I should leave it for a few months as there was a danger the infection would return, in which case I will have wasted my money on the crown. Two months later the thing has started to hurt again, so I’m pretty sure that it has become infected again. Does this mean that tooth extraction is now inevitable?And once the tooth is gone, can I be sure there il be no recurrence of infection?I would like an implant, but not if thre was a cance of infection under it. How long after extraction should n implant be carried ut, if the tooth is infected? Thank you for your time and I hope you can help.
