Can implant retained dentures look natural and how can I ensure that they are good quality?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 Hi
Sorry if this is a repeat email.
I emailed you about implant retained dentures and if they could look like real teeth. My next question is how do I know that the lab that the dentist is using is able to make the dentures that I want. If the dentist I go to only uses one lab and they aren’t able to make what I want then I can’t see the point as to me this is a major factor. What should I be asking the dentist to ensure I get the best look and quality from the lab?
Thanks

Is it possible to have dentures that look perfectly real?
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010Hi
I was hoping to have full dental implants. Lower implant retained denture and implants on the upper. I have now been told that I have individual implants on the top and also have to have an implant retained denture because I have an overbite and need the lip support.
Is it really possible to have dentures that look like real teeth. If people have to have a crown fitted you can’t tell the difference between that and their own teeth but when you have to have a full denture they don’t seem to look like real teeth. Is it possible to have a denture that is made of porcelain or other material that looks like natural teeth.
As you can probably tell I am getting very distressed about this and I am looking for a new dentist that I can discuss this with and hopefully can do my implants.
I look forward to your response.
I need to fill a gap in my teeth. What is a cheap and effective treatment?
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010Hi
I have had my first molar back taken out and am looking for a solution to fill the gap. My dentist recommended a valplast partial denture @ £350 private as it was a simple solution. My rear molar (not wisdom this is still coming threw) is heavily filled and not much tooth there and might need root treatment yet. My thoughts were on th NHS I could have the root treatment + crown it, crown the other tooth and have a bridge. It is my understanding that all this would be at the 1 price of £198 (or £177 not sure) as I have read there is 1 charge for work needed under the same treatment.
Your thoughts on this option please?
Regards
