315737 tn?1407298997 I have several dental implants and they gave me no trouble during tx. SInce you will only have crowns or bridgework underway you should be fine. I would not recommend major dental surgery during tx, but just uncovering the implants and fitting crowns on them should fe just fien. And you will love it when the dental work is complete. I don't think you have to wait. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I am no longer taking Evista, but while doing some research to see if I wanted to go back on it for my osteopenia, I found some references to a correlation between Evista and ovarian cancer and wondered if that could have had a bearing on my case.

1754670 tn?1312378295 Length of time from start to finish can take up to a year depending on how many teeth are removed and how many implants are placed, and the success of each. Normally it's one implant per removed tooth, but there are mini implants that can hold full sets of dentures or implant supported bridges that also can be used, rather than each singly.
Avatar m tn Make a new denture and secure it inside his mouth with three dental implants. The implants are only for supporting the new denture. The implants will remain in his mouth for all of his life. This will make it easy to chew. The side effects are minimal. #2: Try a new denture with additional teeth (more than 11 ) and use an adhesive for as long as possible. When this fails, a new denture along with dental implants will be needed (as mentioned in #1).
Avatar n tn Crowns left spaces between teeth allowing food stuck in there. Saw new DDS and he did full mouth x-rays and told to have my upper teeth pulled and have implants. I saw the film where former DDS filled teeth and placed crowns and it was all black (decay) I was told decay under the crown and gums was hopeless to do anything to save these teeth but extract and implants. I saw a Protodontist. He wanted 30,000.00 and gave me a form for low interest payment plan.
Avatar f tn Another popular choice are thin whitening strips that are portable and easy to use. Teeth whitening strips are small plastic strips with a peroxide-gelled side that sticks to your teeth. Though whitening strips are mostly safe and easy to use.
1345326 tn?1276449602 I have four implants and my DH has seven. We both love them. The process to get to the end is long and, unfortunately expensive, but it has been so worth it. Do you have any specific questions that we can help you with?
Avatar m tn I have a history of possible Cherubism with Neurofibrmatosis. I have had no flare ups of any sort since I was 14 (I am not 22) Like all the literature says it has regressed into nothing more then swelling of the jawline with overgrowth of gum tissue and loss of many permament teeth. I do still have some discoloration of my gums which may be cysts or pockets still left over from the tumors and/or cysts. My question is with extensive peridontic work would implants ever be possible.
Avatar n tn I work in an oral and maxillofacial surgery office where we place dental implants. The surgeons I work for are worried that mini implants are being marketed as being the same as regular dental implants. This just isn't the case. Mini implants are meant to be only a temporary solution. The failure rate for minis is much, much higher than regular implants as well.
Avatar m tn Dental implants are quite effective treatment to deal with dental issues like missing teeth, tooth decay and when you need new teeth for your whole mouth, dental implants can help. It actually depends on the type of treatment you have decided to take or whatever is recommended by your dentist.
Avatar n tn If there are problems with them, they may need to be replaced with dental implants or dentures. Dental implants are titanium screws which are placed into the jaw and crowns/caps are placed on top. These implants probably wouldn't be placed in until his jaw has stopped growing or is somewhat stable I imagine. You would need to discuss the specifics with a dentist who does implants. Unfortunately I don't so I'm not sure.
Avatar f tn What is the success rate for a bottom left molar dental implant? What is the expected healing time and common complication/s during and after procedure? Thank you for your time doctor.
1094370 tn?1317134825 I hope someone here chimes in. I am considering getting some dental implants because I fell 1.5 years ago and broke three of my top front teeth. They did root canals on two of them and crowned all three (and they look FABULOUS!) but, they are still hurting me. I've been to an endo and had them redone, but still, they hurt.
Avatar f tn i have just returned, and yes backs taken down and now talking ok and whilst was there had 10 crowns lower excellent. tks for your information. unfortunately backs now to metal but smooth but cannot see backs.
Avatar m tn I have never experienced any discomfort or pain from it. I had my teeth cleaned 3 weeks ago and the dental hygenist used metal instruments on the tooth. For 2 - weeks had a warm feeling in the jaw and soreness which I immediately reported to the dentist. I faithfully rinsed with salt and warm water and floss daily. The warm feeling has passed however I still have a soreness which almost feels like an air bubble is under the tooth.
Avatar f tn The implants I saw and assisted with did not turn out promising and they were done correctly.
Avatar m tn My mom had a dental implants a year ago and since then her chin has been numb so her dentist has decided to take the implant off. I am just woried that it may be a dangrous surgery or it may not even bring the sensation back. Can I get some advice please?
460185 tn?1326077772 After having some of my back upper teeth and one front tooth extracted, my other teeth began to "shift". It has effected my speech. I sound like I'm drunk and I'm so tired of being labelled drunk when I don't even drink. Does anyone know anything about dental implants for my front teeth. I'll probably have to have the other one removed if I do get them. All this is the result of gum disease and I couldn't afford to go to a periodontists.
Avatar n tn Hello from a newbie! Hi out there. I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I've been searching the web for info about dental implants and found this board. I've never thought about joining a board before, but after reading through some posts, I'm happy I did. I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support you offer eachother here.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Costs for an implant can vary with location. My implants along with the extractions and bone grafts ("bone in a bottle") ran about $2200 each. The crowns and abutments were an additional $1200 each. Those were for front teeth. Sounds like they are talking about a flipper for the space between your teeth while the implant integrates. It snaps onto the teeth on either side with little clamps and can really help. Don't worry about eating.
Avatar m tn hi i recently got dental implants, a month back. Is it ok to take laser hair removal treatment immediately? How long i have to wait? what are the precautions i need to take? thanks.
