My dentures are uncomfortable how mucg would a full mouth of dental implants cost

Q. I have had false teeth from age of 16 age now 45 i am finding dentures very uncomfortable on bottom they keep slipping i was at dental hospital years ago and they thought i would need implants in year to come how much would it cost for a full mouth of dental implants what is involved time wise thanks

A. Your problem is not uncommon at all. The tongue does not like sharing space with anything in the mouth and always dislodges lower dentures. Over time the bone you have in the jaw does resorb decreasing what the denture can sit down on.

With dental implants you do not need to replace every missing tooth with an implant but you can get away with having just 5 – 6 dental implants which has dental bridges attached to them. This should restore you back to function. Time wise you are looking at approximately 9 months of healing following the placement of the implant to get the best possible chance of implant integration.

From a cost prospective you are looking at about £2000 per dental implant which includes the crown that goes on top of the implant. Most practices offer a finance package that allows patient to take up treatment and pay for it in an affordable manner.

I hope this helps
