I have been missing my top right front tooth for around five years now and wearing a denture in its place. My dentists have recommended implants in the past but the cost has been too high. When I went for my check up this time round my dentist told me that she is currently training in doing single tooth implants with the Royal College of Surgeons, is looking for patients and that my gap is just about perfect.
My dentist has offered to reduce the price for my implant and crown to £1800 (she quoted a normal price of £2300) and said to think about it. Today she has said that it should be around £1500. I had x-rays and impressions taken today so they can decide if there is enough bone remaining to go ahead.
I have two questions now. From reading this site it seems that £1500 might be quite high for a reduced price. My dentist advertises as a cosmetic dentist, and I expect that the quality of the crown etc will be good, but I have no frame of reference to decide if this is a good price for the procedure. I was also worried that they could not give me a firm price, saying that depending on how the procedure goes, more treatment may be required, which would increase the price.
I am concerned that if they decide there is enough bone to proceed I might still be a marginal case and that this might reduce the potential lifetime of the implant. Is this possibly the case?
Sorry for such a long-winded question, and thanks for any advice you can give.
I have bad and weak gums…with tooth not strong having too many gaps…I can’t eat beep…!!!
My husband has a condition which when he has visited the dentist in the past he starts gagging when anything is put near the back of his mouth, as a result of this he has not been to the dentist and his teeth are crumbling and deteriorating to the point that he is in pain and struggling to eat. He would be quite happy to have the remaining teeth taken out and have false teeth, but he is fearful that although he explains the condition to dentists, they immediately start poking about in his mouth making him gag.
i have upper missing tooth back how much is cheapest
My son had both top and bottom set of braces fitted 3 days ago and much to my shock, he was also fitted with a device that looks like a cage in the roof of his mouth. We weren’t advised by his dentist prior to the treatment that this would be fitted and now my son is traumatised as he cannot eat or talk properly with it fitted. He wants it removing. His dentist told us it was a standard piece of kit when having a brace fitted but as he did not prior advise of this, as he fitted something that wasn’t necessary?
