I had eight dental implants total. Three fell out within a week and two more the week after that. I’m sitting on pins and needles terrified to go anywhere because I am afraid the rest will fall out. Should I get a refund on all the implants that fell out? I know he told me […]
Treatment for a Traumatic Tooth Injury
I took a nasty fall a while back and now some of my top and bottom teeth are turning black. Do and need to get dental crowns or remove them and get false teeth? Is there any way these teeth can still look nice? One of the teeth seems to be in the wrong place […]
Tooth Replacements for Hockey Players
My son is on a professional hockey team. He had a tooth knocked out and recently had the root form of a dental implant placed for a permanent replacement. However, now his teammates have told him to wait to put in the implant until he is done with his hockey career. They said this is […]
Implant Crown Doesn’t Match My Teeth
I had a dental implant placed for a missing front tooth. So far, my dentist has placed the crown for it three different times none of which matched the teeth next to it. She’s now completely fed up with me and said I’m being unreasonable. Apparently, the shade of my teeth is between two colors. […]
Metal Allergies and Dental Implants
I am not from U.S. but can come there for treatment if needed. I need two dental implants. My worry is metal allergies. I can’t wear anything that has nickel, cobalt, or chromium. Is it still possible for me to get a dental implant if I come to U.S.? Here I can only get metal […]
Dental Implants and Metal Allergies
I have a pretty good metal allergy. It’s enough where I cannot wear things that have metal buckles on clothes and sandals, etc. I’ve recently also lost my first tooth. I would certainly prefer to get a dental implant. However, as they are made out of metal, will that prevent me from getting one? If […]
Is Sinus Perforation Normal?
I had a dental implant placed six months ago. At a check-up we realized there was a problem. He ended up doing a procedure to remove the implant. He said it had perforated the sinus by just a few millimeters and the bone didn’t integrate at all which made the removal easy. He seemed to […]
Titanium Versus Zirconia Implants
I am getting my third dental implant. The first two are titanium. I recently read that it is better to get zirconia implants because titanium dental implants can lead to neurological problems. I’m planning on getting a zirconia implant this time around. I finally found a dentist who does them. My question is should I […]
Dental Implant Incompetence
I had a dental implant placed. I thought everything went okay. However, (you knew there would be a however, didn’t you?) A few weeks after the dental crown was placed, it started to feel loose. I called my dentist and he had me come in. He said the dental implant was fine and I likely […]
Dental Implants for Baby Canines?
I have two baby canine teeth which are still in my mouth even though I am 16. It is a tad embarrassing having baby teeth when I smile at my age. Is it possible to replace these with dental implants so it looks like I have adult teeth there? My senior year is coming up […]
