Is it unusal to wait over a year for your permanent teeth after dental implant surgyer?

It seems in his case no. It all depends on how well his bone heals. The fact that one implant didnt take shows that he has healing problems. Best to take it easy.

Heck yes, do you not remember when they took the implants off of the market several years ago?  Stay as nature intended you, it's not worth the risk.  You should see some of the articles that I have seen about women who get very sick after having that done.

Yes that's not uncommon especially thirty or more years ago for people to have had dentures so young.  Even today there are some genetic diseases that makes the teeth very fragile so they need to be taken out at a young age.  Nowdays dental implants can replace the teeth on someone like that.

Yes, unfortunately you don't pay once for implants - you pay twice. Once to put 'em in, and then thousands more when they go rock hard and painful 10-15 years later.  (They are a 'foreign body' inside you.  The doctors call it 'encapsulation').  \nNo reputable surgeon will tell you that implants of any kind last forever. I know from personal and very painful experience (i still got 'em because I can't afford to have them replaced!) that they don't. \nSo do think hard...(Will I have a spare £4-5000 in 10 years time????)\nGood luck honey.\nPS: I wouldn't want 'Eric' as MY doctor!

The only problem I know of is You Absolutly have to care for them like you would your own teeth, Which actually shouldn't be a problem if you are willing to spend the money for them in the first place, you should practice Good oral Hygeine, I know that if you are not one to floss and brush daily, you are not a canidate for implants, other wise they are a great option for tooth loss.

I very seriously recommend talking to a dentist.\nYou can cause long term damage to yourself.  (Damages to your sinus cavity, nerves running through the jaw, breakage of bone around the tooth itself, and infection, just to name a few)\n\nChances are, a dentist can work out a payment schedule with you.

I had a root canal that never healed, in fact I never got as far as the permanent filling. The tooth had a very long root that was difficult to work with. It was very badly infected and eventually (after 6 months and 4 rounds of antibiotics) I had an apicoectomy, had the root canal finished and it is fine now. I would go for another opinion.   an apicoectomy is when they go into the gum, remove the tip of the root and put a retrograde filling in if you don't know what that is, it was no big deal and I was glad to have the tooth recovered, I was ready to have it pulled and would have if I hadn't just had orthodontics put on.

Now that the tooth is decayed you have several options\n1.  Crown Lengthening and crown; Since there the body (coronal portion)of the tooth is gone.  You can have a procedure done to actually remove bone to expose healthy root structure(usually no more than 2mm).  this procedure allows the dentist finish a crown on the health tooth structure. This procedure is destructive to bone but is usually chosen by the patient who is not ready to loose a natural tooth. \n\n2.  Bridge; You can have the tooth removed and have a bridge placed.    This is an option provided that it is not the last tooth in the arch.  so there has to be a tooth in the front and the back, to allow the bridge to be placed. \n\n3.  You can have tooth removed and have an implant placed.  This is by far the most expensive in the short term but has the potential to cost you less in the long-term since implants don't decay.  The only risk is of structural failure and bone infection (low with reasonable care).  this is      a great option.  However prices can skyrocket if you need a bone graft.  Since you had the root canal a couple of years ago chances are the bone is still pretty good in your case.\n\n4.  You can have the tooth removed and have a "flipper" made.  The is a plastic partial denture, made to fill the space.  This is an option if funds are limited and you need the gap filled for aesthetic purposes.  \n\n5.  You can have a removable permanent denture made.  This is similar to the flipper, but the design is different.  It has metal bars and lots of spaced to allow the tissues to breath thus allowing it to be used long-term without harming the gums.  \n\nPrices range from $350 for a flipper, to $3500 for implant and crown.    \n\ngood luck

Ask the dentist. If they give you anesthesia then maybe.

go back and see the dentist asap, there is a possibility of nerve damage.\n\nif it is nerve damage it may take up to a year to return or ot may never come back.   the dentist still needs to know and you should have been told of this risk in the informed consent.  the dentist can examine the area, take x rays and make the appropriate referral if he/she thinks it is needed.

The root canal has its advantages, in that treatment can be completed in less time on your part.  However, if you have lots of time and are willing to go throught the extra expense now and implant is a great option.  why can't you get the RCT and Crown now? and the implant in 15 years or so when the crown and tooth fail?  Nothing last for ever, But impants are getting very predicable.\n\nOne bit of advice Molars implants take time.  don't rush the dentist to place your implant too soon.  Give it at least 4 months.  Unless your dentist has placed thousands of implants.  He should give it about 4 months (preferably 6) between extraction and implant placement.

If your dentist says you have to do it, it's probably because they may crowd your teeth, cause pain, and--this is really serious-- create abscesses and/or get infected. If you're young (20s and younger), this is definitely the time to deal with it, you'll be given painrelievers and you should be up and about in no time. \n\nHowever, the older you get, the more chance that the surgery gets more involved and the recovery time slower. I would really urge you to get it done, because I waited too long myself. My dentist says it is now considered serious surgery for me and I may need a whole month to recover, and that's if there aren't complications! And why did I ask my dentist for it? Because my jaws now hurt in those areas, and my lower teeth are starting to crowd and get more cavities and stains.\n\nSo please, please don't put it off.

I am a certified dental assistant in NJ and I have worked w/ 4 dentists.  Each one of them guaranteed their crowns for 5 yrs. and their composite fillings for 2 yrs.This means if something chips or breaks it will be replaced at no charge.  \n\nThere are many reasons why a crown could break or fail.  I'm not sure exactly what you mean by break.  \n\nIf the porcelain on the crown chipped, go back to the Dr. who had the crown fabricated for you and ask for it to be replaced.  This is a simple procedure.  You will have new impressions taken (or your dentist may have your model still), they will be sent back to the lab and you will have your new crown in a few weeks.\n\nIf the entire crown came off then you will have to find out why.  Was there decay under the crown?  Did the cement fail?.....\n\nEither way....call your dentist and make an appointment.  After only one year of having this crown it should be covered and there should be no expense to you.  Unless the natural tooth under the crown is unhealthy.

I have two dental implants.  Tooth numbers two and twenty.  Two is an upper right molar, and twenty is a lower left premolar.  I had these two teeth pulled years ago, before I had dental insurance and before I knew better.  I am not sure what a tapered implant is?  I went to a oral surgeon and he cut back the gum tissue and drilled the area for the implant to be placed.  He inserted a titanium screw in these areas and then stitched the opening closed.  About six weeks later he opened these areas and put on the abutment or healing caps.  I then had to wait about six month before putting the final crowns on to make sure that my body was not going to reject the implants.  Putting implants in these areas was the best thing I have ever done.  Not having to deal with a bridge or a partial is a blessing. It is amazing what dentistry can do now.  It is expensive, even with my wonderful professional discount I have about 5 grand invested in these two teeth.  This includes the oral surgeon fees, sedation fees, implant cost, and crown coverage.  I never had a moment's pain with any of this procedures, I was quite surprised.  I expected some discomfort, but I had zero.  I had the oral surgeon do I.V. sedation on me as I have tmj and it is hard for me to be open for a long time, but you don't have to have I.V sedation, you can do it under local anthes. There are many types of dentists that do this now including periodontists, oral surgeons, general dentists etc.  So you should shop around and find the best fit for you.  Some insurance will cover this procedure, but not all.  My dental insurance did not cover implants.  But it is still worth every penny I invested.  Let me know how things go.  Good luck.

You need to cancel your appointment... That is way too much for your mouth.. You are not properly healed from your oral surgery. Give it 6 weeks before anymore trauma in your mouth. Plus your heart does not need anymore numbing pain medication going thru your system this soon....

I dont know if they will be able to fix it, depends exactly how bad it is. But dont leave it any longer.  Go and see a dentist straight away coz the time that you are putting it off, could be the time they can do something to salvage it.  They will definatly do something for you though, thats what they are there for!
