What would it cost to have all my teeth removed and replaced?

Thursday, October 13th, 2011
Q.

Hello Sir / Madam.

Im from the UK, and was wondering how much would it cost to have all teeth removed & have brand new teeth put in permently?

I’ve had 2 crowns, and serveral feelings and they seem to last for about a year then they fall out.

im looking for a treatment where there is 100% chance they will last a long time, and not for only a year or two.

Would there be anything you could recommend / Advice? as when i was young i never was told to look after my teeth, and now they all seem to be cracking, and costing me £200 for a repair crown every year per tooth, and its costing me too much.

Im looking for a Whole new set of teeth, they will stay permantly in, and will not break / fall out, one that requires alot of brushing, but not many fixes.

Do you guys have any answers? please respond.

I have a pain in my tooth after having old metal filling replaced with a new white one.

Q.

Hi I am running into a dental nightmare with a tooth and feeling i need some answers from someone i would trust that i am doing the right thing!
Not enough space on this box!
3 months pain and over 10 visit to dentist!
Long story short. Had old filling replaced with a white one, next day pain round the gum on eating not on bitting. went back Said food impation as the filling was made less proud for better care of the tooth and now the gum aggrivated. lots of mouth care flossing etc Progressed to filling been re shaped to previous style to stop some of the impaction, still no help to shooting pain when food hit the gum. Pain slowly got worse to traveling along my jaw and waking me up at night. Xray showed nothing. Given anitbiotics. then filling taken out and packed. Pain still in the jaw so he went for the root as could see no other possible cause! only to find 2 roots, left for a week and just had another look for Root number 3 which he cant find but now informs me i have a crack and now need a crown! But cant do a crown until he knows if i need to see a specialist for root number 3 and in the mean time i may crack my tooth and loose the whole thing!!! Is it important to find the last root or for some people is there never one???? Not sure if to pay to see specialist before my tooth splits or sit and wait for a few months as has been suggested!
My gut feeling is i had gum infection as it never has caused any pain in impaction or bitting hard and maybe antibiotics may have stopped it getting into the roots. Any addvice much appreciated!

Can my broken tooth be saved?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

My upper back tooth, the one just in front of my wisdom tooth has had fillings, then a root canal. A year after the root canal the front wall of the tooth (just below the gum line)broke away. The back and side walls of the tooth were still fine. My dentist suggested a crown. After working on the tooth for a while he stopped due to my gum bleeding too much. I now have a tempory material over the portion of the tooth that is left and I need to return so he can take another look at it! Do you think the tooth can be saved? If the dentist decides its not possible to fit a crown is there anything left that can be done to save the tooth? Thank you for your time doctor

What can I do about my horrible teeth?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Just a message as I am stuck with what to do and where to turn ..
I am 22 years old, and I can safely say that I highly doubt you’ve seen teeth as bad as mine, 97 year old’s probably have better teeth. As a result I have no confidence and avoid talking to people, I rarely smile and it gets me down on a daily basis.

Due to a sever phobia of dentists, I haven’t been to one since I was a young child, as a direct result my teeth have suffered. To add to this, through most of high school I suffered with bulimia. I have lost the majority of my back teeth, and have two very broken molars. I also have a gap between my two front teeth. I’ve never really looked into getting them fixed due to the high costs. I’m not sure where to go or what to do, but I do realise as I am only 22 that my mouth can only get worse, therefore I need to act. I’m just not sure how I’m going to cover the costs, some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

My teeth are in a really bad shape, what do you suggest?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

hi, my teeth are very very bad, as a young girl i did not get the medical/ dentistry attention that i really needed, mainly becuase i spent time abroad. Now that i am older i find myself unable to pay for the dentistry work i so badly need. I am currently claiming benefits, is there any way i can get the work done? perhaps via an advertising campaign, before and after pictures etc.

i find that due to the state of my teeth it is havin an effect on every aspect of my life and is really effecting my self esteem and confidence. I am currenlty looking for a job but i am concious and very aware of my teeth causing my great anxiety.
