How Much Would It Cost For Screw In Teeth?

Friday, May 3rd, 2013
Q.

How much would it cost for screw in teeth? My teeth are in bad condition and every time I get them fixed they just seem to be going the same way? The top ones are all rotting away, I can’t smile at anyone and I don’t even like speaking to people face to face in case they see my teeth, I work in a pretty busy shop and can’t even talk to the customers. Or other members of staff because of this, would be great if you could give me any information about screw in teeth and how to go about getting them a fixed. It really is hindering my day t day life and I just want a resolution to it because my confidence is taking a real battering at the minute. Hope you can help me somehow! Thanks.

Do I Really Need To Get A Bridge?

Friday, April 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello there – I wonder if you can help. I am 50+ and have always retained 2 of my “baby” teeth (at the upper front) One of these recently broke (I have it reattached temporarily) and I would prefer an implant as opposed to a bridge. I have been advised that the gap will be too small to accommodate an implant…..I have been to a cosmetic dentist in Nottingham for a 2nd opinion and he also is of this opinion……Do I really need to resort to having a bridge? I’m not too ken to be perfectly honest. I would rather just have an implant but I thought I would ask you as well, hope to hear from you soon.  Many thanks – Kind regards.

Can I Apply For Funding To Replace My Lost Implant Bridge?

Monday, April 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr, I am in somewhat of an incredulous position.

I have lost my implant bridge.

I had 3 implants 4 teeth fitted in Jan 2012. Looked fantastic.

In the interim i had relocated away from where i had the implants done.

My bridge had become loose in Feb this year and as i hadn’t registered with a local dentist i used some dental fixative cream as an interim measure.

I went to bed one night and in the morning woke to find my bridge gone??

I looked throughout my flat; absolutely everywhere, I checked and rechecked my bedding; i went to hospital and was x-rayed and metal detected, as i thought i may have swallowed them; nothing found.

I have searched and re-searched my flat.

I am currently unemployed and claiming Income Support; i have no funds to replace my bridge.

I have visited an NHS dentist and they recommend i remove the support posts and have a 4 tooth plate. I am finding this hard to accept after paying nearly £10,000 for the implants.

Is there anyway of applying for funds to have this done?

Surely the cost difference for a bridge against removing the posts and fitting a plate is marginal?

I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thanks

I Received Implants Last September And Still Can’t Brush My Teeth Properly, What Should I Do?

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013
Q.

I got dental implants surgery in late september .
I still have some original teeth and some temporary bridges and teeth but it still hurts to brush
,though I am brushing very softly and using corsodyl mouth wash and toothpaste quite a lot
I can see tartar around my implants what Can i do to get rid of tartar so implant does not fail? The tartar is building up more and more every day and it is really beginning to worry me! My breath is turning bad too, I keep receiving comments from family members. It has been months since my surgery, surely they should have healed up enough for me to brush my teeth properly by now? What would you recommend I should do? I can’t seem to remove the tartar no matter what I try and the implants cost me a fortune so I can’t have them fail on me! Please help, my dentist says to keep using the mouth wash but I don’t think it’s helping!

My Father’s Dentures Are Causing Him Extreme Pain, Can We Arrange Treatment?

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013
Q.

I’m making this inquiry on behalf of my father who is petrified of the dentist and has not been for years. His teeth are getting so bad it’s affecting his life, he can’t eat, is in pain and is more to the point very embarrassed about it all, I can’t talk to him about it as he just goes very quiet but it’s making him miserable and us along with him, I feel if I find the right solution for him then he will make the move and get his teeth sorted out once and for all but I don’t know who to turn to? His whole top layer are false dentures which are ill fitted and he needs at least a new set of those but his bottom teeth he can’t even brush they are that sore, I can not imagine the daily pain he is putting up with but I want to help him (they could need all taking out) I need someone to help us and give us the options, he has had a lot of trouble with his teeth since being 13 years old having smashed his teeth on the ice (hence the dentures) so he has several problems around fear, pain, embarrassment etc, please could you help or point me in the right direction, cost is not the issue it’s getting him happy again.

Kind regards.

My Tooth Is Breaking Below The Gum, Can You Fix It?

Friday, March 22nd, 2013
Q.

hello, recently I have been experiencing problems with chewing, one of my teeth feels unstable and as though it could just fall to pieces. So I went to the dentist and they told me that I have had a tooth breaking (partly below gum line I am told), it is my upper left 4th one.  So I’d like to know really how likely is it that I find a dentist who will rebuild it?  I am reluctant to have the third tooth overcrowned as it has no filling so far and I can’t afford an implant this year and possibly not next – …
– would you agree with the option of a nesbit or should I go for a bridge (if I can’t find a dentist to rebuild) I have tried 2 so far and they just shook their heads).
Many thanks to you in advance for replying.

Can my dental implant and crown be fitted on the same day?

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013
Q.

Hello, 

I have heard of several clinics where a single dental implant including the finished crown is completed within a day by a team of dentists and technicians all at the same location. I have read your website information on dental implants and it described the work taking place over a number of visits .
in your opinion what would be the pros and cons for a suitable candidate with no prior problems?
