My Teeth Have Been Damaged by My Lip Piercing. Am I Suitable for Mini Implants?

April 11th, 2015
Q.

I’m 22, and have had my lip pierced since I was 19. Due to a new job I had to take the piercing out but decided I’d outgrown it so I don’t wear it at all now, but since taking it out I’ve noticed it’s done some damage to some of my lower teeth. I’ve been told that in the near future I’ll need a fixed bridge, if not one of those then implants. I’ve looked into them and prefer the sound of mini implants to anything else, but I don’t know if I’m suitable to have them.What do you suggest? I do regret the piercing now, but the past is the past and I can’t change that! I need to focus on what can be done to my teeth now, so any advice you have would be great. Thanks!

My jaw bone is weak due to cancer therapy, what can I do to get implants?

November 25th, 2011
Q.
I had tobgue cancer about 6 years ago and it has resulted in losing my tongue and 1/2 of my bottom teeth removed. My bottom jaw bone was cut during surgery and then screwed back together. The screws came out a year later, through my face. Presently, my jaw has shifted as well as all my remaining teeth. I look very odd. I have thought about implants but I was told my bone can’t hold them due to radiation. Is there anything you can do or even know of anything that can be done to improve my “looks”. I realize how lucky I am to be here 5 years after this diagnosis, but I would like to look a little bit more normal than I do right now. I have alot of support from family and friends but would like to do this for myself. Thank you for your imput.
