Can I Have Bone Fragments Inserted Into My Tooth Gap In Order To Reduce Bone Shrinkage?

February 28th, 2015
Q.

Is it possible and beneficial to have bone fragments inserted into the gap left by an extracted tooth in order to reduce bone loss/re-absorbment? I am concerned that when I have the loose tooth taken out (the furthest tooth back in the lower jaw) that the forward teeth will move back and create bigger gaps to trap food, and that the bone around the tooth next to it will shrink, causing that tooth to loosen. I was hoping there was some way to stop a sort of chain reaction happening, which is what I believe has happened with other teeth I’ve had to have replace with implants.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,  thank you.  Regards,  Chriss Davies.

I have a loose front tooth that i’m frightened to use, my dentist said there is no chance of it falling out, should i be looking at an implant?

July 17th, 2013
Q.

I have a loose front tooth which i dare not use to bite as I am frightened that it will make it worse and is slightly painful when I put pressure on it. My Dentist told me it was fine and that there was no chance of it falling out, but that to me does not solve the problem of the looseness and discomfort it causes let alone not being able to bite with it.. It is also about 1½ mm lower than my other front tooth which it never used to be. Should I be looking at an implant or what? Many Thanks

Would I able to replace what I consider dead teeth for dental implants?

April 1st, 2012
Q.
Hi, i have a couple of teeth on the top row of teeth that are technically dead as they are grey and don’t feel very secure. I haven’t been to the dentist in many years so i fear that the damaged teeth may have affected the gums and possibly the jaw. I would really like to get implants to replace the dead teeth but if what i fear is true would this be an option for me as the gum and jaw might not be able to provide a stable base. many thanks for your time,

Can I replace all my teeth with implants because I have gum disease?

March 17th, 2012
Q.
Dr Moore, I am currently suffering from gum disease; it has now reached the stage where I am starting to lose teeth. I have already lost three teeth from my top jaw and have a further one now loose. I have a plate with the replacement teeth but find this denture set uncomfortable and un-hygienic, is it possible to have all my teeth replaced with permanent implants and would you please let me have an indication of the cost for this procedure. Many thanks in advance. ,
