Can I have my implants done in nhs?
Q. I am a 24 year old type 1 diabetic. As a result I suffer from gum disease, and 1 of my bottom front teeth has fallen out. I receive free NHS medical care and medication and was wondering if an implant is what I need and if it is available for me on NHS?
A. An implant would work well but it is unlikely that you would be able to have an implant on the NHS. You will also need to make sure your gum disease is controlled before considering a replacement tooth.
