Q. Can I be put to sleep for dental implants because I am very scared of the dentist and treatment. Implants sounds like a very painful procedure so can you please advise for me?
A.
Some dentists provide that service of IV sedation. Most provide a medication that will allow you to be sedated comfortably and usually this is enough for that procedure.

Q. Hi, my top set of teeth are mostly rotted and the upper gums bleed too, my bottom teeth seem okay but i’m terrifeid to go to a dentist but i obviously need to. Do you think my dentist would extract all of my rotten teeth? If he does can I have dental implants as I feel I have severe gum disease so the bone might not be strong enough to hold them in. What should i do? please help!
A.
I recommend you consult with a dentist before your condition gets worse. A qualified dentist working with a specialist should be able to manage your care of removing the decayed teeth and providing you with implants or any other type of dentistry you may need. Just because you have gum disease around the decayed teeth doesn’t mean you are not a candidate for implants. The key is the longer you wait the worse it will get and make it more difficult to place implants. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Hi, i had a crown done on the NHS and it’s fallen out, it doesn’t seem to last long and it’s really annoying me. can i get this re-done at a private dentist if so how much will it cost and is it more likely to stay in? thank you
A. In Dentistry as in all things you get what you pay for. You can have this re-done in private practice and at least you can expect to get the best possible result. Cost will vary but don’t shop by price, if you do, pick by the highest price. I recommend you shop by reputation. The dentists on this site are a good start. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Please help, I need a mouth makeover! The majority of my teeth were extracted when i was younger because of gum disease and i’m pretty sure i have more than enough money now to get them fixed again with implants or something? Also the ones i do have are chipped and discoloured, do they need to be replaced? thanks.
A. You should be able to replace any of the old ones that are chipped and discolored if you would like. You can also add implants to restore your mouth to health. I recommend you contact a qualified dentist who can restore your mouth to health. Dr. Lemongello

Q. I’m considering dental implants to replace my annoying dentures, can you get a full mouth set of implants? If so how much would they be? Also, would you advise doing this?
A. With todays implant technology it is possible to replace all your teeth with implants. There are many other implant combination and restorative possibilities available as well depending on your financial situation. The cost can vary greatly based on your location and the expertise of the dentist. I would recommend you seek a consultation with a qualified implant specialist. Dr. Lemongello

Q. Can you please tell me what treatment there is for a tooth that feels loose and is discoloured? Price ranges wqould also be welcomed.
A. The treatment and cost will be dictated by determining why the tooth is loose. If there is bone loss around it, it may need to be extracted. This would require a bridge or an implant to replace it.

Q. What would you say is a reasonable price for two dental implants Dr Lerner and Dr Lemengello. My dentist has given me an estimate but I would like to see if I am being ripper off or something. Thanks in advance
A. The fee for implant dentistry varies depending on the implant system used, whether the doctor performing the procedures is a qualified specialist and the area being restored. Implants replacing front teeth may cost more than replacing a back tooth. It also varies depending on where you live. Because the fee can vary greatly I would do some research in your area among qualified specialists to see what the approximate cost for this treatment would be.

Q. My teeth are in a bad condition. Gradually each one of my front teeth is falling out and I am hating it. Whatever dentist i see tells me that i should get implants but i don’t have the money to spare! what other otions if any are there?
A. You may need to consider a bridge depending on the health of the remaining teeth. If this isn’t possible you may need to consider some form of removable denture to replace the teeth. Removable dentures are an economical way to replace teeth. Dr. Lemongello

Q. My dentist has told me I can have a dental crown or implants, but i dont know which one to go for. obivously money is a bit of a factor so which one is more expensive and the better option?
A. The question is unclear….crowns usually go on top of an implant…..do you mean you can have implants or a bridge? If that is the case definitely choose the implant option.

Q. i have just read something about all in 4 i think it was called to do with a new kind of implant sysatem for attaching dentures. do you know anything about this and how good it is? supposedly it requires fewer implants which is onyl good in my opinion as it is cheaper but can you say anything more about it?
A. I am not familiar with this system but the benefits of using traditional implants to secure dentures are proven. If 4 implants are beyond your budget than use 2 now. You can always add more later to gain better denture security in the future. Make sure you only use traditional implants. The mini implants do not have the same benefits. Dr. Lemongello
