Implants without bone grafts? I had a bridge at one time but it came loose not long after it was put in. I was told it came loose from the bone. I have always had issues with the upper part of my mouth. I have had upper dentures for years now and a lower partial. I would love to do away with them but not sure i am a good candidate. I also have sinus problems. I also have dental phobia...all I have to do is smell the office. I've have had some pretty bad experiences. ...Visitor from MD (answer)
How much required bone for implants? I am 54 years old, I have both upper and lower dentures. I have had the uppers for over 25 years, the lowers for 6 years. I was just wondering how much bone you need to get implants. I don't know enough about implants. Do they adhere to your actual jaw bone, gums? After 25 years, will there be enough bone to have this done? ...Visitor from PA (answer)
Dentures - bone graft for every tooth extracted? I need dentures. NO implants, just a full upper and partial lower. Besides normal charges for extractions, impressions and immediate dentures, they say I need bone grafts to fill in/level out EVERY socket where teeth are extracted, in order for the dentures to fit properly. This makes the whole thing incredibly expensive. Neither my wife's parents nor my parents had any such bone grafts when they got their dentures many years ago. Is this really necessary? The same dentist office is suggesting dentures AND bone grafts to my wife too, who had no gum disease or bone loss. Must one have bone grafts for dentures? ...Visitor from TX (answer)
Hole in Gum after Bone Graft: I recently had a bone graft done where the upper #7 implant will be. They extracted a 1cm x 1cm piece from my ramus and screwed it to the implant site. Everything looked great for a week, then infection struck. After the infection was treated (4 days or so) I was left with missing gum tissue over the now exposed bone graft. The surgeon didn't seem too alarmed, but for as much as I have invested in this process, I don't want to be lackadaisical. Could I get a second opinion - is this normal? Is there anything I can do to help regrow the gum tissue? There is no discomfort, other than the fear that I'm going to lose the graft. ...Visitor from IN (answer)
Reversal of Implants - Bovine Bone and sinus lift: About 3 months ago I had a left sinus lift, bovine bone grafting and 2 titanium implants on my upper left side. I was fine for one week. Then I got an infection and had two rounds of antibiotics. I've been in pain ever since. It feels like terrible pressure in the left sinus area or nerve pain, plus right and left tight burning aching pain. I've been to an ENT, CT-Scan, Neuro, GP and nothing shows. I'm living in pain everday. I have scheduled a reversal with the oral surgeon because I am desperate. He will take out the implants, bovine bone and then bring the sinus back down. I am scared out of my mind. What are my options? It's making me sick. Am I having a foreign substance reaction? ...Visitor from NY (answer)
