My Receding Gums And Loose Teeth Are Getting Me Down, What Should I Do?

Q.
i have very bad receeding gums and now most of my teeth are loose , i have even stopped smiling because i am so ashamed of them , the only thing i can think is going to happen is that i will need them removing ? that fills me with fear , also i have to admit i dont go to the dentisit due to not one but two very very bad experiences where the socket got infected so bad i was in bed for 2 whole weeks , it didnt help the fact i dont freeze very well nor do i clot so hence an open socket ,i have more or less come to terms with the fact i will need my teeth out but the thought of dentures that you remove and put in a glass at night is just not for me , i have been doing a little homework on what can be done but still not too sure, can i have a full set of dentures but have them fixed permanently ? i just so want to smile again instead of holding my hand to my mouth when i laugh pls help one desperate unhappy lady

Hi, it may be possible to have a full set of dentures, fixed in with dental implants, that are fitted in one day. This is often called ‘teeth in a day’ or the ‘all on 4 ‘ procedure. You should come and visit the practice and meet one of our implant experts so that they can examine and assess you properly and offer some solutions.

Kind regards
