Can I Receive Some Financial Help In Order To Replace Old Crowns?

Q.
Hi, I wondered if you could help me with something? I had my four front upper teeth crowned about 16 years ago, due to my gums receeding i now have gaps along the top of three of them , which causes food to get trapped and looks unsightly. i would also at some point like to get some teeth whitening done.
I am unemployed due to redundancy 6 months ago. However I do not claim any benefits and so am very short on money but I do feel I need the work doing . How much should i expect to pay to have my crowns redone and can i get any help with cost? Do you think I will have to have them replaced often due to the nature of my gum recession? Should I look into gum grafts do you think?  Any help would be much appreciated, thank you and kind regards.

Hello, thank you for your question. You may be able to get them done on the NHS but it will depend on your dentist, otherwise you might have to pay. as whitening is 100% cosmetic you will definitely have to pay for this.
