Q. I’m wanting to have dentures put in as missing four of my teeth and my teeth are also extremely sensitive would this be a good idea to get done? If am to get this done how long would it take and would it be painful to get done? I’m also 16 so would I be able to get this on the NHS or have to pay?
A. Thanks for your question, it is possible to have dentures on NHS. The process to make a denture would usually take between 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the type of denture and the laboratory which is used. This process should not be painful. I hope this helps.

A. hi michelle, there are many practices including mine which offer payment plans interest free and low interest. the cost for fixed teeth per arch to replace a denture ranges from about £10000, to £15000. the best thing would be to book a free consultation think about how much you could afford monthly and we will discuss the right plan of action for your budget. hope this is helpful.

Q. hi I would just like to know about the metal chrome cobalt denture -the factors that need to be considered before the denture is prepared. thankyou
A. This seems like a question a dentist would ask. Broadly speaking you need to assess the patients general health. Then local factors such as bone pathology, gum health, tooth health. Finally design needs to be considered such as path of insertion, clasping, pretreatment tooth adjustment etc

Q. I would like to know if it is possible to have a tooth implant fitted under the following circumstances: My permanent lateral incisors were removed when I was a child (roughly 6yrs old) before they could grow after an accident which fractured my jaw. I have had dentures, bridges and now have one crown fitted on one side and nothing on the other. I am now 37 yrs old.
A. hi many thanks for your email, the site that requires the implant needs to be assessed to check there is enough room both height, and width wise for the dental implant and that there is enough bone. hope this is helpful.

Q. I am about to have lower front pincer tooth extracted, can you please advice on what to get, a partial denture or a bridge and what type. My dentist has not explained the options, please can you help me decide I am at my wits end with worry. As soon as possible.
A. A denture is the quickest and simplest method to fill the gap. I would recommend this for immediately after having the tooth removed, after this you could have a bridge or an implant if you want a permanently fixed in tooth.

Q. Hi i am 27 year old woman who has lost most teeth through tooth decay. I am thinking about going back to a dentist for dentures but i am very worried about this due to my age.

Q. At the moment I have a 4 tooth bridge which is at the front on my upper teeth. It is a hinge which I have been told is broken so at the moment this is only supported on the one side which is on a post. I have been told by 2 dentists that as this is a large bridge I will now have to have a denture which although not happy have accepted this is the only solution. My problem that before I had my bridge had a plate and as have a strong gag reflex didn’t not get on with this at all also when I was eating it shifted as was most uncomfortable. I have been shown a denture that is metal and doesn’t seem to cover the roof of my mouth would this be a better option than the normal partial acrylic denture for me? I have been told that this is not available on the NHS? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
A. hi many thanks for your email, my advice is to think about dental implants which are fixed and do not require a plate. the cost of a four unit bridge on two implants are approx £5000. msny practices do offer interest free credit to help finance the treatment.

Q. im really worried bout my teeth think my dentist hasnt helped,but im conciderin needing sum new teeth has sune i wont av any teeth at the back to chew with.im 25 n i cant stop thinkin that it not b long before all ive got is my front teeth.
A. If you are think you need to have a large course of treatment and are not happy with your current dentist. I suggest that you see a 2 or 3 different practices to get some quotes and decide which option suits you best. Try to decide a budget and what if any comprimisesyou can make on cost, appearance or timing.

Q. I have recently had my top teeth extracted, and had a normal denture put in (which i absolutely hate!!!), is it possible to have a complete valplast denture made and fitted, and how much would it cost?
A. If you have had all the teeth removed a Valplast denture won’t really help you, they are really meant for partial dentures.

Q. hi, i have really bad teeth and have a plate with 2 teeth on at the front as i lost a crown with 2 teeth on. i am now excempt from paying so would it be possible to have the crowns replaced on the nhs?
A. Hi, thanks for your question, it would only be possible to consider replacing the crowns if you still have the root. Your denture may have been placed over the root, but the root may have been removed. Without this information, it would be difficult to say. If the root remains, it may be possible to have a post crown, however if you no longer have the root, the options to replace would be either a bridge (which would be attached to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap) or an implant (which could support a new crown). I hope that this information will be of assistance to you, but should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Kind Regards

Q. please can somebody help me i am 37 years old and had all of my teeth pulled out when i was 18 with 2 wisdom teeth so with not a tooth in my mouth i have worn dentures for nearly 20 years and as im sure you know what im just about to say i wont be able to have any more dentures due to no bone and gum left im getting quite distressed about this as the plates do not fit in my mouth now and the teeth on the plate have grinded so i cant eat or chew my face feels is collapsing.would i not be able to have this done on the nhs.can there be a positive outcome
A. Hi, many thanks for your email. the first thing that should be ascertained is how much bone you have generally i have found in my experiance that once a CT scan of the jaw bones is done, there is usally more bone in the jaws than you think. The next step once the true answer is known about how much bone you have is deciding on the the way the teeth are to be restored. th reason for the CT scan would be to see if you are a candidate for dental implants.
Preferribly four implant in each jaw would give you fixed teeth which would not require removing, the cost of which would be approx £12,000 per jaw.
Two implants per jaw fixed to a denture would be removable but when in very secure. the cost per jaw would be £5000
The alternative would be dentures which is what you already have, but with a better fitting surface and new teeth, these are not ideal, but cost wise may range from £1000 – £4000
There are many practices that offer interest free credit to help finance the treatment. hope this is helpful.

Q. I have had to have one side of my upper teeth removed, this has caused this side of my face to collasp and my mouth had lost definition and is drooping to one side, I look like I have had a stroke. Can you offer me any adice is this normal can this be corrected in any way so that both sides of my face are semetrical again.
A. hi many thanks for your email, when you lose teeth this can have a dramatic effect on the facial features on that area, unfortunately the only way to restore your face to some kind of symmetry would be to replace the missing teeth with either dental implants, bridge work if possible or a denture. hope this is helpful.
