Iam an NHS patient who needs to have two implants in my upper jaw

Q. I am an NHS patient who needs to have 2 implants in my lower jaw. I have a real problem in coping with any loose objects in my mouth. I understand that i will have to pay for the implants, but I am on a very low income. if i pay for the implant part am i entitled to have the crowns on the NHS ?

A. Under the NHS dentists cannot mix NHS and private dentistry on the same ” tooth ” – I presume this is the same for an implant.
