CAN A DENTAL IMPLANT STILL BE PLACED IN LOWER JAW IN THE FAR BACK IF SITE IS NEAR FACIAL NERVE?

Question by Citygirl:
Can a dental implant still be put in lower jaw in the far back if site is near facial nerve?
I had an x-ray of the site and was told that placing an implant at this site may permanently damage my facial nerve since my facial nerve is higher up in my jaw. Is there a way to get around this problem in case I still need an implant put here? The roots of my molar are just as long as an implant and I do not have any problems from the roots affecting the nerve.

Q&A: WHAT’S THE CHEAPEST (HONEST) WAY TO GET A DENTAL IMPLANT IN THE UK?

Question by Carlito:
What’s the cheapest (HONEST) way to get a dental implant in the UK?
My dentist says he can’t cap my broken rear tooth, and apparently, my only options are extraction, or replacement with an implant, which he says costs about £1500!!!

(Or I can leave it in, and risk infection : ( )

Any helpful advice, links, please?

Thanks in advance for your time.

CAN CROWN LENGTHENING RUIN THE SITE FOR A FUTURE DENTAL IMPLANT?

Question by Citygirl:
Can crown lengthening ruin the site for a future dental implant?
I need to have 2 crown lengthening procedures done on 2 molars. They have to remove some bone tissue to expose more tooth structure to keep the crowns glued on. Is this bone removal during a crown lengthening procedure minimal? Or would this slight bone removal possibly destroy the site for a future implant if the crowns fail? If too much bone was lost to support an implant is there a way to add back bone to support the implant?

AFTER GETTING A TITANIUM-BASED TOOTH IMPLANT MY GF CAN SEE THE METAL THROUGH HER GUM. HOW CAN WE FIX IT?

Question by sthenx0r:
After getting a titanium-based tooth implant my gf can see the metal through her gum. How can we fix it?
It was a year-long, costly process and she’s very unhappy with the final result. She could see the metal somewhat when she had the fakey tooth (like a retainer), but it seems worse now that they added the tooth itself. It’s the tooth next to her front tooth, so it’s visible in her smile. It is not just an issue of the gumline, but through half the gum the metal shows darkly. She’s concerned that it is an issue of the placement of the post and there will be nothing she can do to resolve it. She had the tooth itself put on a couple weeks ago and has an appt. scheduled in a couple more weeks. Is this a natural step, like the gum will bulk up over time? Does anyone have any ideas about what her options are/will be? Thank you!
