There is a solution to missing teeth and also loose dentures. Dental implants
dental implants have been around for over 50 years and with a very high success rate. there is an increased demand from the public as more and more people become aware of what is possible and how they can be done.
Here are a few frequently asked questions and answers
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post which can be inserted into the bone and once integrated into the bone you can have a crown or a bridge placed on top or even have dentures on top.
Can anyone have Dental Implant?
Most people can although a careful assessment needs to be undertaken to assess the level of bone as the implant is placed in bone if you have adequate bone and also no medical reasons then you will mostly likely be suitable
Does it involve surgery and does it hurt?
the implant is placed in bone and the gum does need to be push back although this can be done under local anaesthetic or if your a little concerned then sedation can be provided which helps you to relax. After the procedure it can be a little uncomfortable although in most cases painkillers can be taken to relieve this
How much is it ?
the investment in an implant is from £1900 per tooth although this is dependant upon the individual situation can vary depending upon the bone levels
when can I have it done ?
We can work around your schedule just let us know the best time although you maybe best to take a day off on the placement
can it make my denture more stable?
Yes in some situations when you have a loose lower denture two implants can be placed and then denture can then have clips which clip on to the denture which can make it more stable.

Dunwoody Dentist: Considering Dental Implants? (therightsmile.wordpress.com)

Its October and the weather has turned to rain and wind. Looking forward to Halloween and the trick or treat season.
got asked the other day about tooth sensitivity and a few people have been coming in with sensitive teeth and wondering what can be done about it
here is a small list with a few solutions
1, Dentinal hypersensitivity – this is sensitivity of the roots of the teeth if the gums have receded and the roots of the teeth are exposed then this can cause sensitivity of these teeth one solution to this is to have same kind of barrier attached to the surface either by a dentist or to use desensitising tooth paste to build up a barrier sensodyne and Colgate are one of the ones that can be use
2, sensitivity due to fractured teeth – if you have trauma in the mouth this can result in sensitive teeth as a result of exposed dentine would be a good idea to have a comprehensive assessment to asses the teeth and if there are any fractured and also to get them repaired
3, Decay in the teeth – if you have decayed teeth this again can expose the dentine and the teeth can become sensitive if this is the case then some fillings may be required a comprehensive examination will show this up
