Lost 5 teeth due to accident and want it to be repaired.

Q. Hi,Doc,I had was involved in a traffic accident 20 years ago and lost 5 teeth.At the time i went to the dental hospital in edinburgh and had scans to see if it was possible to get implants.I was told because I had lost some bone in my jaw du e to accident,that there wasn,t enough to affix implants to,,since then i believe it is now possible to graft bone and therefore have procedure done..My question is: Since this was done through having an accident, Is possible to have procedure done on NHS, At the present time I am on incapacity benifits and DLA.Also I am a former seafarer and wonder if the dreadnought society could accomodate this.

A. I’m sorry to hear of your problems but you are very unlikely to be able to have implants done on the nhs as this treatment isn’t available
