   I had a dental implant. The month following the tooth being “screwed” onto the implant I suddenly developed tinnitus. This was on October 30, 2006 at 4:00 P.M. Do you think that removing, or “unscrewing” the tooth will remove the tinnitus? That would be a miracle!

   It’s worth a try. See your dentist and describe the problem. Allow him to remove the tooth and leave it out for a week or two for your mouth to recover. If the tinnitus abates, the implant is obviously the problem. Your dentist can then re-work the implant to fit into your mouth better.

   Sincerely,

   Extending my bottom jaw results in my tinnitus becoming twice as loud. Is that a common symptom?

   Hi Alan
   This sounds like a classic example of TMJ Dysfunction and it is treatable by certain dentists. Please read the article by Dr. Ira Klemmons on the subject in our Tinnitus Library. There is also a link at the bottom of the article to help locate a dentist is your area who works on TMJD.

   I developed tinnitus after having the implants put in. I don’t have the teeth put in yet. Plus the tinnitus is on the other side. Please tell me who can help me. Is there anyone in the western new york area I can contact?

   Hi,

   I had a crown and a bridge implant procedure done at the beginning of July 2011 and a day later my Tinnitus started and it is driving me insane. I have had tests for underactive thyroid (negative), both ears were syringed and I have had a CAT scan, which is also clear. My dentist has said that he has never heard of a possible link between poor dental work and tinnitus……..maybe the UK is behind the times?

   I am now awaiting an appointment with my dentist to have the crown/bridge removed and pray to God that this incessant noise ceases……I don’t know that I can carry on if it doesn’t.

   Any advice you can give would be so appreciated.

   Hi Lorrayne,

   I was looking into dental implants causing your tinnitus and thought I’d share my experience.

   I punctured my ear drum and had prepatory work for an implant at the same time (the bolts were screwed in) I developed pretty bad tinnitus, but in both ears.

   Recently, my bridge on the other side of my mouth fell out, and the tinnitus is gone on that side. It is such a relief.

   Before that, I’d been to two ear/nose/throat doctors asking for an operation to repair the eardrum to stop the tinnitus, but both said the tinnitus wasn’t caused by the puncture.

   So…it’s possible the implant is causing your tinnitus. My dentist is adamant that implants are harmless and the best solution (as opposed to partial denture).

   Not sure if the tinnitus is being caused by the implant, but I’m going for the partial.

   And my sympathies with the tinnitus. It can be very annoying at time.

   all the best!
