I am sorry to here that you are having so many problems with your teeth. Before I give a general answer to your question, I can't stress enought that you have to see a dentist for a comprehensive exam as soon as possible to get a more specific answer. Implants can be the answer for you at your age if you have severe bone loss and many teeth with a hopeless or questionable prognosis. In other words, they are not just for older people.
The problem with my teeth is that it is very protruded and braces cannot solve it anymore. So the protruding front teeth are extracted to solve the problem. I want to have dental implants but I am afraid if dental implants can make my gums and teeth look protruded again? Can dental implants make the gums look protruded? Thank you
This is a question that may require more information to answer correctly because I don't know the exact reason for why the orthodontist could not solve the protrusion of your teeth. Is it a skeletal problem with your upper jaw? Is it the agulation of your teeth? Is it your bite? The dental implants can definitely improve the angulation when placed; however, they can not correct skeletal malocclusions and the bite may need to be improved first before placing the implants. This sounds like a situation where you may want to get several opinions so that you feel comfortable before any extractions. It is always better to keep natural teeth if possible and they are healthy.
I have a fixed retainer behind my lower 6 front teeth. Some bone loss has occured under the retainer. I don't believe that I have had any more infections, but now my teeth have tipped forward. Has this been caused by more bone loss? I'm young and don't want dentures. Could implants be placed if there is at least 50% bone loss? How much bone is needed for an implant? I was told that I don't have any pockets. I can feel pressure on some of my teeth if I push them forward.
It sounds like you may be a good candidate for implants and you are correct in not wanting to go to a denture if possible. To determine the success of implants in your situation, your general dentist will refer you to a periodontist or oral surgeon who places implants. They should request a CT Scan that will determine the three dimensional characteristics of your bone and will be more accurate than a two dimensional xray. After studying your scan, the specialist will determine how many implants can be placed and where. Fortunately, implants have advanced to the point where there are so many types and different sizes that fit many situations. Also bone augmentation can be achieved in many cases. Implants are a terrific option and I wish you the best with your situation.
