I am confused about my dentists advice, can you help?

December 2nd, 2011
Q.
After the removal of my UR back molar due to bone loss I had to have root canal on the next UR molar which now has to be extracted as it cracked across. They advised I would need sinus lift and bone graft before an implant could replace the tooth. My dentist is advising I don’t need a sinus lift but would extract then do a bone graft at same time as first stage implantation. Is this a secure way to go or should I have 1st stage implant after the bone graft has healed? Thanks for your advice – I’m confused!,

How much would an implant cost to replace my front tooth?

November 21st, 2011
Q.
I have been having root canal treatment on a front tooth, with a view to having my crown replaced. However, the root canal has fractured and I now need a plate. Can you advise the cost of an implant, and would a mini implant be suitable?,

I feel that the quoted price to replace my crown with an implant is excessive. Or would you say it is accurate?

August 11th, 2011
Q.
I have had a crown on my front tooth for around 14 years. It has become loose in the last 5 years and I have had to have it re adhered several times (s ince pregnancy). Xrays show that the root canal has two fractures in it where the rod sits. I have been told the best possible course of action is an implant. I had the moulds taken and measurements and xrays etc and paid £150 for this and then was given a breakdown of costs for this – for a ceramic post etc I am quoted £2650. This seems somewhat excessive. Is this about right? I cannot justify this on one tooth.,

What is the best option for root canals?

May 12th, 2011
Q.
I currently have 2 root canals and my dentist has told me that they need re-route canals doing, or I could have implants/false teeth etc. I\’m unsure of what is best and would like a second opinion. Thank you.,

Is it okay to leave tooth gap or should I get an implant?

March 26th, 2011
Q.
Due to an infection within a root canal /crowned lower molar tooth my dentist has proposed extraction, bone graft and implant. I am planning to go ahead with extraction and graft due to the risk of infection spreading, but unsure yet of implant. May just try living with the gap – do you strongly recommend against this, and why?,

The treatment seems very costly, is this the best treatment for me?

January 23rd, 2011
Q.
Hi, please can i ask for your advise, I had a fall several years ago, & my front tooth died so i had route canal & vaneer fitted however the tooth is now coming lose so my dentist has advised that i have a implant costing in total with bone graffting around £3000. He said it would take around 8 months in total to complete as the longer we leave my gum to heal the better the results. However he called me today to say that i should go to see a specialist dentist who could do the work in one go but the consultation is £95.00 i m a little confussed now. Is this just a way to get more money from me or is this the best option for me?,

Can I get an implant to replace tooth that had to be removed?

January 11th, 2011
Q.
When I was younger I had a root canal that went wrong and my front tooth has to be removed. The dentist did his best to save it but said it was too far gone and that tooth needed to be removed. I am now with a fake tooth that looks and feels horrible and makes me looks stupid. What can I do? Can I get implants?,
