26 and Miserable. Can I have Full Mouth Dental Implants?

I'm sorry to hear you are having so much pain and many serious problems. I'm most sad to hear how it is affecting you, your kids, and husband. I'm going to give you some really blunt comments based upon my 23 years of solving these types of issues: First, find a dentist that you are REALLY comfortable with. Second, decide in your mind that you will do what it takes to solve these issues. Third, commit to the financial investment it will take to do this... more

Implants are a fantastic way to restore health

It is very likely that you are a candidate for implants, however all other options should be considered. It is possible that periodontal therapy and a few root canal therapies and restorations that all will be stable, maybe even beautiful. The investment for full mouth implants and restorations can be very large, but tremendously satisfying. No more bleeding and pain with complete function is a great situation after years of discomfort and bleeding. The first step is to... more

Full Mouth Implants?

Full mouth implants may be an option for you, but it's usually best to keep as many of your natural teeth as possible. Sometimes however, teeth are so badly broken down and/or infected that it doesn't make much sense to keep them. Implants could be the least expensive and most reliable option for you long term. The best first step for you is to see a dentist for a complete examination with x-rays. That's the only way to find out what's really going on in your mouth and what... more

Full mouth implant restorations at 26 yrs. old

Sorry to hear about your problems! From your description it sounds like you have a perio disease that causes bleeding and discomfort and infected teeth that most likely need root canal treatment that now causes you such severe irradiating pain. The consult with the specialist perio-restorative dentist will tremendously benefit you. In such cases the patient needs the full mouth evaluation, to define the condition of the remaining teeth and treatment plan. It can most likely due to... more

Keep your own teeth,implants have their own problems.

After 3-4 appointments witha good dentist your pain should be substantially better. If thats not happening then fine a new dentist. Pain of this magnitude is horrible and a well skilled dentist should cure that..

FULL MOUTH IMPLANTS AT 26

Sorry to hear of your difficulties. We are each handed a set of genes by our parents. Some people are bald some have droopy skin, different eye color etc. Some people inherit really bad (or what we call in the profession "Soft") teeth. If you find that you keep having severe decay and the need for root canals and the redoing of restorations, it may be you got handed a tough lot in life and you have bad teeth genes. It is relatively rare fortunately, but is... more

Dental Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry

There are not that many contraindications to dental implants and they can usually benefit most patients. Are all your teeth really bad or are there some that can be saved with professional care and home care? If you can save some teeth and place implants in the areas that cannot be saved it may be a better treatment option for you. That being said, none of us have seen your teeth. You might wish to have several consultations with dentists who have experience with... more

Dental Implants are a great option for some people.

I agree with some of the other posts that the first thing is to take care of your immediate emergency/pain/ infections. Then you will need a comprehensive evaluation from an experienced dentist that can handle complex cases. This should include full set of X-rays, thorough exam, impressions for study models, and photos. Part of the evaluation may involve specialists such as a periodontist (gum/implant surgeon), orthodontist, or endodontist(root canal). Once all that is done,... more

False Teeth vs. Natural Teeth with Implants

Today with the new technology available, most patients can have what they want if they want to afford it! If you want to know what can be done, it will require a visit to a specialist like an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, who can take a CT scan and other x-rays, models and then meet with a dentist that can make the actual teeth for you. First comes the decision as to whether you have enough foundation or bone, If not it can be built or engineered so that dental implants become an option... more

Full mouth dental implants

My first thought is to have a full examination with all necessary x-rays. Based upon your description, control of disease would be the first order of business. This may mean extraction of some or all of your teeth. If your history is as dire as you describe, full mouth extraction may be necessary. With regard to full mouth dental implants being done at your age, the answer is yes. As long as you are healthy and have good bone support, there is no reason why dental implants cannnot... more

Are Implants right for you?

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.

Pain and infection with your teeth

Hello Have you seen a dentist for examination? That would be the first step in understanding what is causing the pain and eliminating it by either extraction or root canal if possible. Once your dentist has attended to immediate problems with help of other specialists (root canal specialist, oral surgeon, etc) then you can talk about how to restore your smile. Dental implants are certainly possible for replacement of part of all of your teeth as appropriate. Your dentist working with an... more
