Common Questions and Answers about Tooth implant loose

teeth

So long as I do not chew harder foods on that tooth it feels good except for being loose. Am I likely to be able to get the tooth to reset (tighten) in the bone - and would you suggest any other supportive measures to strengthen the tooth/socket?

I have a implant and its loose. Its been loose for about a month now. I finally went to a implant specialist today at my university. He said many things what could be wrong with it, but he did mention if its just loose you may need to make the screw tighter but he said that if you need to make it tighter you need to replace the screw that holds the crown.

I had a bad implant on tooth #10 which was put in on April 14, 2008. There is no bone cover the outer side of the implant. Also, the implant was placed in a position with close to #9. the implant was taken out on Aug. 14, 2008 by another doctor. She used BMP-2 which cause big swelling over 2-3 weeks. and light swelling afterwards. On Aug. 30. I noticed my #9 become loose and very sensitive to percussion. On that day, my gum on #9 and #10 was seriously inflamed.

my dentist did not aware this and told me to bite more apples/food in a month to get #13 loosed. Finally, #13 was broken too. Now I have to do 4 implants or 2 implants plus a bridge. Can anyone tell me what a better option is? How much the costs would be? How long can the crowns for implants be last? Are they also last for about 10 years that a bridge normally does?

So the tooth was impacted, it was moved into the space but there's a gap now in that space because they had moved the first molar too far back and they recommend placing an implant to fill that space? As for your loose tooth, if the doctor feels that the tooth is not going to be useful due to its looseness, it may be a good decision to remove it and replace it with an implant.

My endodontist has referred me to an oral surgeon with instructions to pull the tooth which would mean reconstructive bone surgery and an implant. I am ok with this if it the cause of my respitory problems as well but I need to know what is going on so help!

Well, sad news, November 11, 2009 back for follow up. He had to remove the implant, it was loose, and had some infection. It wasn't hitting a nerve or anything I guess he said. He inserted more bone and wants it to heal for about 8 weeks and then try inserting it again. I was really disappointed but I guess that is the chance you take with these kind of things. He thought it may have come loose from me talking on the phone all day at work and typing.

I have a crown on tooth 10, it was recemented about 5 years ago and has been fine. It is loose again and wiggling. The dentist said she cannot take it off and recement because the tooth underneath will be pulled out. My only option is an implant in the tooth or a bridge. I wonder before I do this if a second opinion is good idea.

I don't know if my first message went through, would a tooth implant be ok? I'm trying to find a dentist office who will let me make weekly payments, I've had no luck finding any dental office that will let me do that type of payment plan. I was hoping maybe you would know of a few places. Thank You!

i have a bridge that is loose on one end. my dentist is afraid to try to pry it off because of the chance it might break. Is there any thing i can do to help loosed the other end of the bridge?

occlusal appliance is highly effective for bruxism, if it's well fabricated. Limited opening of jaw may result from muscle or tmj internal derangement. Seeing a competent tmj specialist is advised.

This dentist I saw for a second opinion told me I would be miserable with a denture and dry mouth issues. The prosthodondist said my other teeth are too loose now for the bridges. The cost is too much for all implants. Add to that, due to the mouth and throat problems and a constant nauseated feeling, I don't even know how I can get through all this dental work! It is causing major anxiety. Has anyone ever dealt with these problems? I'm not sure what this dentist will tell me.

Each crown is custom made to fit either the post from a natural tooth, or the abutment part of the implant. The implant and abutment are two separate pieces. I don't think what you are proposing is possible. You would need an new implant bridge. The only other thing would be to remove the end teeth on your bridge and have new ones fitted to the remaining bridge. Refiring old porcelain may not be advisable. Plus that could be more costly than a whole new bridge.

If the implant is moveable and loose, then there is something wrong with the bone that is surrounding the implant most likely. In that case, it is important to remove the implant and allow the area to heal as keeping the implant will cause further bone loss and spread of infection. I'm not sure as to the cause of the infection. You may want to post this question in the Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery section and discuss it with the oral surgeon.

He performed a full oral exam, checked me for oral cancer of which im clear, probed me, took more xrays as well as a panaromic xray and his suggestion is to extract teeth 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19, He wants to place an implant where tooth 19 is now. my question is, should I do this or are the full upper dentures and lower partial the better route to take?

Now the tooth does not hurt but it is loose and has decay and the bone is receeding. I am not interested in an implant. The dentist wants to pull it. What will happen if I keep it until it falls out. I keep it clean and rinse with colloidal silver and pick at it with a dental tool to keep food out of there. I am healthy and do not want a hole there if I can still use it. It is a little loose from time to time, but I have a lower tooth under it so I can chew with it. What is your advice?

I could have written your post. I have one front tooth that's been loose for a whole year now. It doesn't hurt but it won't fall off. My gums are fine. The other teeth are solid. I'm just as puzzled. I am really not sure what I am going to do when it eventually falls off. I like the idea of an implant but I can't stand the thought of somebody drilling in my jaw bone. Maybe I'll just wear a "falsie" or in teeth language a "flipper".

I had a surgery on 8/14 on tooth #10 to remove an implant. the implant was very very close to my tooth #9. because the suture not removed, my gum got some infection on tooth #10. That infection spread to #9. yesterday, I suddenly found that my tooth#9 become loose, and when I gently tap the surface of my tooth, the whole tooth feel very sensitive. what happen? any suggestion? Am I at the risk loss a healthy tooth? tooth#9 is very healthy. thanks.

HI, MY BRIDGE IS LOOSE . THE SUPPORT TOOTH MUST BE EXTRACTED, IT IS A 5-TOOTH , UPPER LEFT & COST A OVER $5,000- 5 YRS AGO. CAN IT BE SAVED W/ IMPLANTS ??????

Worth looking into and seeing what you think. The last I read, implants run several thousand dollars per tooth! Good luck to you, I hope you find a good solution. Remember even with dentures you can choose the color, and keep going back until they fit correctly. My husband had all his teeth pulled, and dentures, and it was the best decision for him.

Now about 6 years later my tooth is loose. I've been to my dentist twice with it and he has tried to keep my other teeth front making it wiggle and he couldn't make it break or anything. He said it seemed stable but loose. Now it is really loose! I am afraid it will fall out anytime. I have an appt with my dentist in a couple of weeks. What are my best options, cosmetic and financial? I don't want ANYTHING I have to take out and I don't want to worry about it ever not looking natural.

It has appeared to have been loose and tonight she thought she was pulling her tooth and just the stainless steel cap was pulled off. The small amount of tooth underneath is still inplace and does not appear to be loose even though she has pulled the ones corresponding to it on the opposite side. There is no pain. Will it eventually loosen up and be pulled or is this a trip to the dentist? She cannot get a good grip on it since it is so small. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

I have just had #3 molar, upper right extracted. Plan was an implant, but cannot afford that or bridge at $4K. Want to hear about chances to adapt to the missing tooth. No nonsense opinions on risks and (financial rewards) of avoiding implant or bridge....just get by (age 64) with gap in back upper teeth. Need cheerleaders or bottom line risks asociated with "gumming it'!!

If a tooth is fractured beyond the level of the gingiva, then it needs to be extracted and an implant placed. This tooth is non-restorable. If the front tooth that is still in the braces is only slightly sensitve to biting then that could be due to the fact that it is moving. What orthodontics essentially does is cause the bone to be removed in one area while depositing it in another.

I've got a temporary filling in it at the moment whilst I decide what to do, but the dentist says this is a short-term solution and it will keep getting infected. The options are a bridge or an implant, or, of course, live without the tooth. I don't like the idea of a bridge, an implant sounds a much more sound solution, and of course the most expensive option. Around £3,000! No way can I afford that, at least not presently.

My two front teeth were affected from a fall on concrete 6-20-07. It felt as though the left tooth had a severed nerve, because it was loose, but it didn't hurt, like the nerve was cut or something. the dentist temp filled the right, which was a small chip, and bonded the left front tooth to the tooth next door to give it a chance to "tighten up".

I have one tooth (#8) that is loose and has about 70% bone loss from periodontal disease. The other front tooth has about 30% loss and the laterals are tight but rotated vertically. Do I really need all four removed for implants? My perio just keeps saying not to worry about it and think about my pretty smile, but really, that's not a good enough answer. I'm going to see him again tomorrow and would like to have some really good questions to ask him as to why all four need removal.

Now I notice gum recession above the area. Over one tooth the silver from the implant is showing. What would cause this? What should I do now? Is this serious? I am about to begin school and just getting over a gum graft on my lower front teeth. This new problem started this week. My periodontist did NOT work in this area.
