Implants cause gum loss between 2 front teeth: I am 27 years old, and had to get dental implants on my top two front teeth. (Due to an accident when I was young). Now, however, I have no gum between them, and the result is a black hole between my front teeth. It looks awful and I hate my smile. People are always telling me I have something in my teeth, because that's what it looks like. Is there anyway to fix this? .... Visitor from PA (answer)

Fix Itchy Gums with Implants? My two upper front teeth were knocked out in an accident 30 years ago. I currently have a 6 unit bridge. I have constant irritation - itching in my upper gums (due to sinus inflammation). My dentist is recommending implants, saying that there is little bone left between my upper jaw and my sinus cavity. But this will involve substantial bone grafting. I am okay with my appearance and eat normally now. Will the implants stop the itching and bone loss or end up causing more problems than I currently experience? Will changing the bridge for one that fits better stop the itching? My current bridge is almost 8 years old. .... Visitor from PA (answer)
Gum growth following bone grafting: How long does it take for the gums to grow around a bone graft? Is there anything that can be done to facilitate the gum growth and overall success of the bone grafting? .... Visitor from VA (answer)
Gums pulling away: My gums pull away from my teeth. In a few places it has torn off. Will this grow back and or heal? .... Visitor from Canada (answer)
Red gums after veneers: I had a complete restoration of my smile about 18 months ago. Everthing was fine until earlier this year I noticed my gums were becoming red around the veneers. I returned to the dentist and he diagnosed it as thrush and put me on medication for 2 weeks. When I returned he decided it was not thrush and that he could try a laser treatment to see if it would help. There was no improvement and he has no further diagnosis to offer me. He said I am being too picky. I do have Lupus and was evaluated by my Lupus doctor. He did not feel it was related to my lupus and deferred to the dentist. I am extemely dissatisfied after having spent $30,000 for a perfect smile and am left with red swollen gums. .... Visitor from MI (answer)
Implants for Shrinking Gums? I've had dentures since I was 22. I am now 61 years old. I have totally shrinking gums and my dentures must be glued to eat or talk even. How would a dentist do implants on me? One tooth at a time or a few teeth at one time? How many visits would it take? .... Visitor from MI (answer)
