Dr. Robert G Mokbel DDS's Expert Contributions
  • Can molars be replaced with implants?

    Molars or any missing teeth can definitely be replaced with implants as long as you have enough bone and space between teeth. READ MORE

  • How should I sleep after dental implants?

    That is a good question. In general, it is best to avoid any pressure on the area to ensure proper healing. In my opinion, don’t sleep on the side of the implants, and definitely not face down. Good luck. Dr. Robert Mokbel READ MORE

  • Can you have cavities if you have a crown?

    Yes, unfortunately, caries or cavities are common under crowns. They usually start around the neck of the tooth, where the tooth and the crown meet. It can happen due to either poor hygiene (sugary diet) or ill-fitting crowns. READ MORE

  • I knocked out my two front teeth. What's the procedure for implants?

    Sorry to hear that. the procedure can be very simple if the injury did not cause any bone destruction or infection. Need to start with a thorough examination, X-rays, scan impressions to get a good idea of your situation. If all is good, you get the implants surgically placed and after usually a healing period of 4 months, you get the final impressions for the permanent crowns. Stay safe. READ MORE

  • Is it normal to run a fever after dental implant surgery?

    No, in general, you should not experience any fever related to the implant surgery. Fever could be a sign of an infection, keep in mind that the infection could be coming from a different source than the implant placement thank you READ MORE

  • Can you talk after dental implants?

    Yes, for sure you can talk. Depending on the number and location of implants, whether you are having immediate implants or not, and replacing all the teeth. Then in this case, there may be a period of adjustment and adaptation to the new teeth. But in general, this question never comes up. READ MORE

  • Can dentures cause gum recession?

    Gingival recession happens around natural teeth. Once the teeth are removed, recession is not a question anymore. Denture refers to edentulous state, no teeth. After the teeth are removed and you are wearing a complete denture, the bone and gums under the denture keep remodeling and shrinking over the lifetime of the dentures. READ MORE

  • Do I need a prosthodontic follow up after getting my dentures?

    You should get a follow up with the dentist who fabricated your dentures. If there are problems with the fit, adaptation or mobility that you dentist can not fix, then you should get Referral to a specialist. You may require placing implants to hold the dentures or even remaking the dentures. READ MORE

  • How much tooth should be left for a crown?

    The more the better, teeth can still be restored even when they are just 1 or 2 mmm above the gums, assuming no caries are left, aRoot canal treatment and a build up of the tooth can proved enough space and strength to pace a crown. A surgical procedure can be performed to get access to more tooth. Check with you dentist or ask for a referral to a specialist. Cheers READ MORE

  • How long do you have to eat soft foods after dental implants?

    Hello, Congratulations on your new implant. Complex answer depending on number of implants, locations, and whether you have a temporary or not to protect the area! After surgical placement, wait until sutures are removed, in general, 2 to 3 weeks after surgery if gums are closed and implant(s) is or are stable. Best to ask your dentist. Cheers, Dr. Mokbel READ MORE

  • Can you get implants with bad gums?

    Hello, It is best if you get a complete evaluation and treat gum disease. Infection of gums most of the time affects the underlying bones and it will interfere with the healing and integration of the implant. Implants should not be placed just to fill holes, but rather as part of a plan to rehabilitate your whole mouth and body. Think about it as replacing only one tire on your car while some of the other three or all are bad, or ignoring the completely worn out brakes. Good luck. Dr. Robert Mokbel READ MORE

  • Are these crackling sounds in my ear from TMJ?

    Yes, these are still TMJ dysfunction symptoms, noises are common in TMJ. You need to see a specialist to determine the gravity of your condition and find out what to do next. READ MORE
