Q. I am a very bad patient for a dentist I am extremely nervous and I do panic a lot, and because of this past dentists, I have had, rather than try to save my teeth removed them. I do have fillings in some back teeth but a lot of gaps and it is a little difficult to eat properly. I have not been to a dentist for five years because I dread it so much, I know that at least three back teeth are in trouble and have had a little tooth ache that has calmed down now but I really want to sort out my teeth, and don’t know where to go. I do not want dentures I want to be able to eat properly and I want to be able to talk and smile with a nice confident smile. I don’t think there is anything wrong with my front teeth but they could be whiter, I would like to know if I could find someone to take me on is there any way Gaps in the back of the mouth can be fitted with permanent tooth fittings rather than dentures and would it depend on the teeth you have left to attach any fitment to? also how expensive could that be? Hope you can help.
