Will I be viable for implants after recieving root canal treatment?

February 20th, 2012
Q.
I have been receiving treatment at a local dental hospital and have had a number of root canal treatments and soon to have some crowns. Sadly I have already lost 5 teeth and probably more. I am very interested in implants but as I am receiving ongoing treatment I am not sure how long to wait to get implants sorted. I am 34 and have never smoked and generally in good health.,

What is the situation on implants and sport? What about bruxism?

January 24th, 2012
Q.
Hi History is:- Upper left 2 peg lateral. Traumatic fracture at gum line approx 1998. Root canal filled and crown fitted. Short peg as OPG revealed dog-leg shaped root. Root now has hairline crack. Currently aged 38, occasional rugby (now very infrequent), 5-a-side football). Questions:- 1. Am I likely to be a suitable candidate for implant (lifestyle factors can be tweaked !)? 2. What is life expectancy / replacement period for implants; will they need revisions and if so how many can be done; what is position if no further revisions are possible? 3. I expect rugby contra-indicates implants but what about football (I have always worn orthodontic mouthguard for both). 4. Possibly some occasional night-time bruxing – would this preclude implant / would a lower guard help? 5. Any idea on likely cost? Many thanks,

For what reason do you think dentist said root canal treatment was not option for infection?

December 28th, 2011
Q.
Been told today that I need an extraction due to an infection, and told RCT is not an option so now have a gaping hole from the composite filling being taken out whilst the antibioctics treat the infection with an extraction booked for next week. Dentist was hard to understand on why RCT is not the answer something to do with space in my gum??,

Root canal has failed and dentist says tooth extraction is only option. Give your opinion?

December 22nd, 2011
Q.
Due to stress I had a antibiotics to remove an abcess, with temporary filling then root canal after. My tooth felt fine during the months with the temporary filling but after the root canal felt wobbly and intermittently painful. After a year and a half the dentist has told that the next time I say the tooth is painful he will remove it. Obviously I went through the root canal in order to keep the tooth. It is very painful now, I would like a second opinion as I feel my dentist is disinterested and just wants to do what is easiest for him. I am on very low income.,

Would my son be able to get dental implants on the NHS?

December 18th, 2011
Q.
Hello, My son had an injury to his two front teeth six years ago when he was six years old. His two front teeth went up into his gums. We have been advised that he will need specialist root canal treatment on both teeth and eventually he will need implants when he is an adult. My question is whether this procedure can be offered on the NHS or is it more of a specialist area? I can’t seem to get a straight answer. Could you help? Regards ,

Root canal filling or dental implants?

December 3rd, 2011
Q.
I have a decaying (possibly dead) lower molar with subgingival decay. My dentist has explained a root canal may fail and a surgeon has told me that taking out the tooth once root filled to then attempt an implant is more complex. In cases with subgingival decay of a lower molar what are your views on root canal fillings versus implants?,

Can I have a temporary tooth while I wait replacement for extracted tooth?

October 15th, 2011
Q.
I have an infection from a root canal which didnt work and will need to have the tooth removed and an implant or bridge put in. I am very concerned about having a space there after having it pulled and while I wait for the implant. Is it possible to have a temp bridge/implant straight after the tooth has been removed despite the infection? Thanks so much for your help,

I need an implant but am concerned this will affect my IVF treatment. What should I do?

October 13th, 2011
Q.
Hello, I havea failed root canal which has already been re rooted twice. I imagine I will need an extraction very soon (visiting dentist tomo) – and then an implant etc. However, I am due to start IVF treatment in a month and am concerned about the dental treatments and x rays needed if I pursue the implant route. If I leave the tooth extracted – and no implant or bone graft for 12-14 months, is this going to be a problem? Also, what is the risk of dry socket with extraction? This terrifies me! Thanks,,
