My two teeth that i had apicoectomy’s on 20 years ago are infected, what’s the best way forward from here?

July 17th, 2013
Q.

I have two teeth at the very front of my lower jaw that had apicoectomy’s approx 20 years ago and are now infected. I understand from what I have read I will need bone grafting, possibly a small/mini implant and that there is an above average chance they may fail – can you give me any advice on the way forward, suitable treatment (I don’t want more bone damage or anything that could fall out / break etc) and if I can find a good experienced implant dentist could they treatment work. Many thanks for any advice.

Should I get implant immediate loading or have longer healing time?

March 3rd, 2012
Q.
I currently have a bridge on my front teeth this was fitted 15 years ago when i had the two front teeth removed. I have decided to have implants as the bridge has failed and the supporting teeth are infected. I have had two consultations, the first dentist said that the teeth would be removed and due to the fact that i have a high smile line i would wait 3-6 months for the site to heal. Then the implants would be placed and then there would be another 3-6month wait before the permanant bridge could be fitted to the implants. During this time i would wear an adhesive bridge. This seemed like a long time so i had a second consultation with another dentist, this time i was told that the teeth could be removed and the implants placed with immediate loading of temp teeth for 3-6 months before permanant bridge fitted, despite telling the dentist that i do tend to grind and clench my teeth when sleeping. I am now very confused as to which is the best option as both dentists have advised such different methods. I have read that immediate loading can be quite high risk of failure because there should be no movement as the area is healing. I just assumed that i would have implants placed straight away then wear a temporary bridge that does not put pressure on the area that is healing. Any advice, i don’t want to end up paying for another consultation.,

I had a tooth extraction and I am still in pain 8 weeks later, what do you suggest?

February 27th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, unfortunately your answer did not appear on your blog so I shall ask again with a little bit more added. I still get an ache where the extraction site is 8 weeks after extraction, is this normal and should I have a bridge whilst this is going on? This is the added bit – I have seen the dentist once again and took 2 x-rays, nothing showed up as to why I am still in pain and has referred me to my local hospital. What do you think it is?,

Is it necessary to wear temporary tooth as it is cracked and wobbly?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.
I I had a tooth removed yesterday and have had a temporary bridge put in until I go back to the dentist in May, with the view to having an implant. However, the bridge has chipped already and feels a bit wobbly. If it comes out totally, is it ok to have a gap until May or should I go back and get another temporary bridge put in? I remember when I had my last implant that the temporary bridges kept on coming out, is there anything I can do to try and make them stay in?,

Can you tell me what the options are for a temporary tooth?

October 16th, 2011
Q.
Can you please advise what are the options for a temporary tooth whilst a front tooth implant takes or is the expectation that I will have to live without a tooth for the 8-12 weeks?,

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 have two practices giving varying prognosis for my teeth. Can you advise?

August 4th, 2011
Q.
I am male, 65 and had 2 upper jaw implants fitted in 2007 to retain a full over-denture. Both implants failed and had to be removed last year. I now have 2 proposals before me for further treatment, one from the original practice and a new, second opinion. They differ in some fundamental ways and I\’m having trouble deciding which, if any, route to pursue. Both propose bilateral sinus lifts, followed after a few months by 3 implants on each side and a fixed bridge. One proposes implant fitment followed by a week without the denture then 4 months healing time, but the other offers a temporary acrylic bridge within 24 hrs of inserting 6 Astra implants, followed a few months later by a final metal bridge. The traditional quotation is certainly cheaper, but involves two 1 week periods without any upper teeth. In view of my history, could you comment on the relative merits (especially probability of complications/failure) of the two approaches? Thanks.,

Can my teeth be replaced with implants in a ‘one sitting’ visit?

July 2nd, 2011
Q.
Dear Dr Solanki, I am looking at the possibility of having to replace my two front teeth (maxillary central incisors?) with implants (due to an accident the teeth were damaged). I am concerned about the process in a cosmetic sense as from what i understand the process can take 3-6 months. Are you \’without\’ teeth during this period or can a temporary bridge or crowns be fitted in the interim? Can these teeth be replaced with implants in a \’one sitting\’ visit? Many thanks in anticipation.,

Are you supposed to receive a temporary bridge or other implant when waiting for the final result?

June 25th, 2011
Q.
Hi, are you supposed to have a temporary bridge/implant in whilst the proper implants are being made? I had the teeth pulled last week (which are being replaced by the implants) and haven\’t received any temporary implants, also my dentist hasn\’t told me when the implants will be ready, should I go back to see him? or is this the usual case?,
