Q. Please can you help me,i have very bad teeth,4 whole top ones plus 3 stumps,8 bottom whole ones plus 1 root,i have a phobia of dentists but i really need to go now,my confidence is now zero,i cannot talk to people as im so embarresed by my teeth,roughly how much would it cost to remove my teeth and have dentures made,also how long do i have to have no teeth for while waiting for the dentures.Thankyou so much,

A. Hi,
thank you for your question
You could have treatment carried out on the NHS. You may be eligible for exempt treatment which means that you wouldn’t have to pay anything at all. The difficulty is finding a NHS dentist still has openings and is taking on new patients. You would have to have the treatment carried out under local anaesthetic. The dentures would probably be made first and then on your last denture appointment the teet would be extracted and the denture would be fit.
 If you jave to have the treatment done privately the procedure would be same, the dentures will be better quality and there may be a chance of having treatment carried out under sedation which means that the teeth can be extracted and you won’t remember anything.
Obviously private dentistry costs more. You could be looking at £3000 for the entire treatment
Kind regards
