Speech lisp: I have just had my 2nd set of dental implants inserted, 4 top teeth. The first lot I developed a really bad lisp and they were poorly made. 2nd set are better, perhaps a little short. The first set were too horsey, and I still have a lisp, like Cindy in the Brady Bunch. Will this improve over time? It was one of the things we discussed at length with the dentist and seems to be getting worse. ...Visitor from Australia (answer)
Smoking causes failure? I had implants put in about a year ago. After two months I kept getting infections so the doctor took them out (reason he gave was because I smoked). I let my gums heal and stopped smoking. He then proceeded to try again, planting two new implants in my lower jaw. Something was very wrong. I had pain for three weeks. He gave me motrin, percoset, advil and vicadin. He pulled them out three days after I had worse pain in my chin. He says that it is normal. I don't think so. Now I am afraid I will never have implants and will have to wear a denture plate that is always loose and use glue for the rest of my life. Please help me. ...Visitor from FL (answer)
Save a loose implant? I had a dental implant and graft on my front tooth done in February of this year. A temporary was put on immediately but the whole implant felt loose and caused a lot of pain. In March the temporary was removed and a partial was used instead. This month, July, the permanent crown was placed on the implant. The whole implant is still loose. My surgeon decided on a wait and see approach hoping the implant will tighten. The xrays show the graft not taking on the bottom of the implant. Is there a chance the implant will tighten in a few months or am I wasting my time with false hope? ...Visitor from CA (answer)
Implantology for Senior Citizen: Is it possible to do teeth implantation in somone 81 or 82 years old? My heart itself is O.K. I had a cypher stent in LAD about two yers ago. I have had no problems since then. My Blood Pressure is normal. ...Visitor from Israel (answer)
Headache: My husband, 50 yers old, healthy. He had 6 implants about 2 weeks ago. He had 4 put in the lower right jaw. He is experiencing a constant moderate to severe headache (temple, eye, sinus) on that side. Does this make sense at this stage in the healing process? He is taking powerful pain meds to manage the pain. I am aware that the nerve bundle runs in this general area so assumption is that it will get better with time. That is our hope, anyway. Please advise if this associated pain makes sense. We are very rural/remote and it's approximately 3 hourrs to a major urban area. ...Visitor from ID (answer)
Odor - Recession after placement: I had an implant and crown placed on #8 front tooth about 8 months ago. I have suffered pain, inflammation and significant gum recession, mouth odor since. The abutment has been narrowed 2X which has helped some. My dentist recommends a bridge which I find unacceptable. Can you please comment as to what may be occuring and recommend treatment? ... Visitor from NH (answer)
I am being told that I need to have my front teeth pulled and that I can only have a removable partial. Implants are not recommended because these are front teeth. One of my front teeth is broken off and the other is loose. I am missing one on the side of the right front tooth. I really don't want to lose my teeth and go to a removable partial. My alternative is to have the broken tooth posted and a crown attached, and have a partial for the missing tooth and leave the loose one there until it falls out. ... Visitor from MN (answer)
I am missing my two front teeth and I have spaces between the others. So, about 3 years ago my dentist applied a fixed bridge that is connected to four teeth beside the two missing ones. The bridge rests over my gums, creating a huge overbite and six extremely large front teeth. After all that money spent I still have a hideous smile. Can I get two normal size implants, four normal size crowns, then add braces to pull the teeth together? ... Visitor from NV (answer)
