A. I would try to save the teeth if possible – this can be through an NHS dentist. If you need implants the only option on the NHS would be through one of the dental teaching hospitals

im 36 and single and i am not only loosing confidence each day but im also have great difficulty with my dentures. They wont stay in without using polygrip which makes me gag daily, and this is also affecting my weight, i have lost half a stone since having the dentures a year ago. I cannot afford cosmetic dentistry, is there any way possible i can have this done on the nhs?. I have not concidered going on a date since having these dentures and to be honest iv never felt so selfcontious and depressed, please could you advice me

You could try getting your dentist to refer you to a hospital that carries out implants.
Is it possible to do a molar implant 7 months after the natural tooth has been extracted?
Yes, its usually good to wait 4-6 months for the bone to heal. You will probably need a scan prior to treatment to measure the bone first.
Is it possible to have implants while taking Warfarin for AF. Thank you.
Yes but you need to check your INR before treatment to make sure the levels are acceptable

Please research dentists offering dental implants in your area and you can compare their level of service, customer care, expertise and fees.
hello, i am in need of dental implants, but i dont think i will be able to receive the treatment through the nhs, can i ask you for an approx price for the overal cost of implants for 4 front teeth. i am considering applying for a dental loan, but im not sure of cost. im 33 years of age and in general good health. this problem arose about 12 years ago i was involved in an accident, i had a dental bridge fitted, but now i have lost 2 teeth from the bridge, ive now had a denture for the 2 missing teeth, but now the other 2 teeth are becoming loose, and i also find it very difficult to wear dentures, many thanks.
You’re right implants aren’t available on the NHS. As a guide you will need to budget from £6000-8000 depending on the number of implant fixtures required
hi im a 35 year old woman, and i have two very protruding front teeth, im attending a nhs dental hospital, and i have had a very long wait, to recieve braces, its been 4 years, i still havent recieved braces as i have advanced gum disease, having had to wait all this time, they are now saying that braces might not work, wouid i be eligible for dental implants on the nhs,. this problem has been affecting my self confidience for years, and seems to be getting worse rather than better, they have said that dentures couid be an option, but feel i am too young to have dentures, please help,
You’ll need to speak to the dentists at the hospital unfortunately implants aren’t usually available on the NHS so you might have to pay privately
If I was to Have my top 2 teeth out and implants put in what is the average time scale from start to finish including recovery time, I am in the army and I will soon be having around 2 months on leave,
On average 3-4 months but it depends on the condition of the bone around the teeth to be removed
Hi I’m a 41 yr old woman. Over the years I’ve lost both sides of my top teeth they were taken out due to abscess And after having children I lost calcium in my teeth. When I smile there’s a big gap which I’m self conscious about. I don’t want Dentures the thought makes me feel bad and low, does anyone know anywhere that does implants on a pay monthly basis something like that.

If you can’t afford implants then speak to your dentist about fixed bridges or even a denture. You could then have implants in the future if you’re suitable.

The NHS will not pay for implants, and unfortunately it sounds like your tooth is too far gone to keep.
