Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.

A. Anything put into the lower jaw will help you to chew although a denture is very difficult to wear if there are only a few teeth to anchor it in place. You might want to consider a denture held in place with dental implants this maybe your best solution in the lower jaw in the long term

I have 6 bottom front teeth and a top plate,could vou tell me if it is possible to grind down the bottom teeth and fix on a full denture, and how much would it cost?thankyou.

A. You could have something called an overdenture which sits over your existing teeth.  The teeth can also be used to secure a new denture using precision attachments or clasps.

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.

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

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.

A. Hi
Plesae do not worry as you do have options to replace the gap when your tooth has been removed. The best options would be an implant, however this would be the most expensive option. There is also the option of a bridge, which would involve preparing the teeth on either side for crowns, and then the laboratory would create attach a false tooth to the two crowns to create a three unit bridge. Your final optin would be a partial denture, which would be removable. I hie this helps.
Many thanks

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.
